Head coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Kincaid (knee) won't play Sunday night against the 49ers.
With Kincaid set to miss his second straight contest, Dawson Knox is slated to maintain an expanded role in the Bills offense while serving as the team's primary option at tight end versus San Francisco. Kincaid's next chance to see game action will occur Dec. 8 when Buffalo faces the Rams in Week 14.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Listed as non-participant Thursday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
Back-to-back listings of DNP cloud Kincaid's status for Sunday night's game against the 49ers, with the tight end down to one chance to return to practice ahead of Week 13 action. If Kincaid ends up remaining sidelined for the contest, Dawson Knox would be in line to maintain an expanded role in the Bills offense as the team's top TE option versus San Francisco.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott said that Kincaid (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Kincaid missed the Bills' Week 11 win over the Chiefs and is still not practicing following the team's bye week. He has two more chances to get in some on-field work ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, but if Kincaid remains sidelined this weekend, Dawson Knox would maintain an expanded role as the Bills' primary option at tight end.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Kincaid (knee) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, Alec White of the team's official site reports.
Kincaid, who suffered a knee injury during Buffalo's win over the Colts this past Sunday, thus will target a potential return to action following the team's Week 12 bye, when the Bills host the 49ers on Dec. 1. In Kincaid's absence this weekend, Dawson Knox is slated to work as the top tight end and could see his most involvement in the passing game of the season thus far.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Dealing with knee issue
Rotowire
Kinkaid returned to play two snaps in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts before sitting out the remainder of the game due to the knee injury he suffered earlier in the contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. "Thought I could go and just didn't feel good enough to run and be able to go out there and protect myself," the tight end, when asked about his brief return to the game.
Kincaid, who finished up the game with two catches on five targets for 24 yards, will likely get his knee checked out during the upcoming week. For the time being, consider the tight end day-to-day in advance of next Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Dawson Knox would step in as the Bills' starting tight end in Week 11 if Kinkaid is unable to play.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Doubtful to return Sunday
Rotowire
Kincaid is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to a knee injury.
After having previously exited the contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com relays that Kincaid returned for two snaps in the third quarter, but evidently the tight end hasn't shaken his knee issue. In his absence, Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris are available to handle Buffalo's TE duties.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
We'll see what happens at receiver for the Bills with Amari Cooper (wrist) questionable and Keon Coleman (wrist) out. If both are out in Week 10 at the Colts, then Kincaid could have a big game, and Indianapolis is No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Kincaid has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in two of his past four games, and he just had 10 targets in Week 9 against Miami, although he only had four catches for 32 yards against the Dolphins. He should see a lot of volume again if Cooper and Coleman are out, and that makes Kincaid a trustworthy Fantasy option heading into Week 10.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Cashes in second TD
Rotowire
Kincaid hauled in four of seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.
Kincaid was the recipient of one of two Josh Allen passing touchdowns in Sunday's lopsided victory. The 25-year-old Kincaid finished tied for second in targets for Buffalo while cashing in his second receiving touchdown of the season. Kincaid continues to split work with fellow tight end Dawson Knox (2-50-0), with Kincaid being the preferred fantasy option ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Miami.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Kincaid (collarbone) remained limited at practice Thursday.
While Kincaid maintained his practice participation level from Wednesday, Dawson Knox (ankle) returned to a limited session Thursday after being absent one day prior. Friday's injury report thus is slated to add context regarding the chances of Buffalo's top two tight ends playing Sunday against the Seahawks.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Kincaid was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a collarbone injury.
His ability to practice in any capacity at the start of the week suggests Kincaid's injury probably isn't too serious and is unlikely to prevent him from playing this Sunday at Seattle. Fellow Bills tight end Dawson Knox (ankle) was held out of Wednesday's practice entirely, potentially opening the door for Kincaid to play a few more snaps than usual Week 8.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Finding groove
Rotowire
Kincaid recorded three receptions on six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
While the rest of the Buffalo passing offense saw some fluctuation, Kincaid remained in a stable role. He's now seen either six or seven targets in four consecutive games while recording at least 45 yards in three of them. Kincaid narrowly missed out on a bigger performance, as he was tackled at the two-yard line after a 25-yard gain at the end of the third quarter. While it hasn't been a breakout season, Kincaid has become a consistent contributor.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Ready for Week 7
Rotowire
Kincaid (collarbone) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
The Bills placed a cap on Kincaid's reps at Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice, but the second-year pro was able to handle a full allotment to wrap up Week 7 prep and thus has been cleared to suit up this weekend. He has yet to have a breakout performance through six games on the campaign, with this past Monday's output versus the Jets marking season highs in catches (six), receiving yards (51) and targets (seven).

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Limited in walkthrough
Rotowire
The Bills listed Kincaid as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough with a collarbone injury.
Kincaid logged 80 percent of offensive snaps in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets and finished with six catches for 51 yards on seven targets. The tight end may have picked up an injury at some point along the way, but if he's able to increase his practice activity Thursday and/or Friday, he should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Titans. Kincaid has led all Bills pass catchers with a 20.7 percent target share this season, but he could lose out on some looks after Buffalo acquired a bona fide No. 1 receiver in Amari Cooper from Cleveland on Tuesday.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Strong PPR performance
Rotowire
Kincaid corralled six of seven targets for 51 yards in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.
Kincaid set a new high-water mark in both receptions and single-game yardage this season in Monday's tight win. The sophomore tight end had a better fantasy performance when he caught his lone touchdown of the season Week 3 against the Jaguars. Kincaid hasn't broke out with a big performance quite yet, but the 2023 first-round pick deserves consideration ahead of a Week 7 contest against Tennessee.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Two catches in Week 5 loss
Rotowire
Kincaid caught two of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Houston.
Kincaid tied Mack Hollins for the team lead in both catches and targets as the Bills played without leading pass catcher Khalil Shakir (ankle). This subpar performance can be chalked up to a rare off day from Josh Allen, who completed only nine passes, but it continued a larger trend of disappointment for Kincaid, who has yet to reach the 50-yard threshold in a game heading into a Week 6 MNF clash against the AFC East rival Jets.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: TEs to Start
Rotowire
Only the Chiefs (27) allow more receptions to tight ends this season than the Ravens (23), who have given up at least 15.5 PPR points in each of the past two games against Brock Bowers and Jake Ferguson. Kincaid had three catches for 41 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 3 against Jacksonville, and hopefully he can stay hot against Baltimore in this potential shootout.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Four grabs in Week 2 win
Rotowire
Kincaid secured all four targets for 33 yards in the Bills' 31-10 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.
Kincaid had surprisingly been held to just one reception in the season-opening win against the Cardinals, and Josh Allen appeared intent on getting his second-year tight end involved early Thursday. Kincaid was on the receiving end of Allen's first two pass attempts, which totaled 17 yards. Kincaid still finished with a modest line overall, but he did have the second-most receptions and targets on the night for the Bills while also tying Ty Johnson for second-most receiving yards. Kincaid should have a chance to see his opportunities continue to climb in a Week 3 home matchup against the Jaguars on Monday, Sept. 23.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Rested for preseason finale
Rotowire
Kincaid didn't see the field in Saturday's 31-26 preseason loss to the Panthers.
Buffalo held key starters like Josh Allen and Kincaid out of the preseason finale to ensure that they're healthy for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Cardinals. Kincaid put up 673 receiving yards in a promising rookie regular season last year, and he's a likely candidate to pick up some of the slack following the offseason departure of wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who accounted for 1,183 receiving yards on 160 targets in the 2023 regular season.
