Kincaid was great in Week 8 against Baltimore with four catches for 86 yards and a touchdown on six targets, and he has now scored at least 10.8 PPR points in each of his past two games against the Raiders and Ravens. But now Kincaid has to face Minnesota, and the Vikings are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. No tight end has scored double digits in PPR against Minnesota this season, including matchups with Tucker Kraft, Colston Loveland and Sam LaPorta. I would try to bench Kincaid in the majority of leagues in Week 9.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Leading receiver in Week 8 win
Rotowire
Kincaid (chest) caught four of six targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens.
Kincaid was questionable coming into the game due to a chest injury, but he managed to suit up and finished as the team leader in receiving yards. He made a 40-yard catch early in the fourth quarter and capped the following drive with a 23-yard touchdown catch. The streaky TE has returned to form with 11 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown over the past two games. Kincaid had just four catches for 52 yards over his previous three outings after starting the season with 12 catches for 225 yards and a TD through two games. Next up for Kincaid and the Bills is a Week 9 MNF clash with Minnesota's elite defense.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Playing through chest issue Sunday
Rotowire
Kincaid (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
After sustaining a chest injury in the Bills' Week 6 win over the Raiders, Kincaid didn't fully move past the issue following the team's Week 7 bye. A limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, Kincaid took a questionable tag into the weekend but will nonetheless get the green light to play versus Baltimore. Though Kincaid drew eight targets -- his most since Week 2 -- in the win over Las Vegas, he could struggle to see that sort of volume Sunday while the Bills welcome top wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) back to the lineup for the first time since Week 4.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Trending toward playing Sunday
Rotowire
The Bills are optimistic that Kincaid (chest), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, will be able to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Citing a source familiar with Kincaid's situation, Fowler relays that "it would be a surprise" if the tight end didn't play Sunday, after he was listed as a limited participant in all three practices this week. Like Kincaid, wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) is listed as questionable but expected to play, so Buffalo appears to be tracking toward having all of its key pass catchers available for the first time since Week 4. Official word on the statuses of Kincaid and Moore will arrive when the Bills post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Listed as questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Kincaid (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Kincaid returned to a Week 6 win at Las Vegas after being evaluated for an upper-body injury. Then, coming out of a Week 7 bye, Kincaid was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, donning a no-contact jersey. He seems more likely than not to play, but fantasy managers will want to check in ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Limited in Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Kincaid (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Kincaid has started Week 8 prep with consecutive limited practice sessions coming out of Buffalo's Week 7 bye. The 27-year-old TE has yet to miss a game this season, but Kincaid has cooled down significantly after a scorching start, mustering 90 receiving yards over the past four games after posting 225 yards and a TD through Week 2. Kincaid will look to get back on track Sunday against the Ravens, assuming he plays through the chest injury that's limiting his practice participation.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Remains in non-contact jersey
Rotowire
Kincaid (chest) remained in a red non-contact jersey for a second straight day Thursday, Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News reports.
This marks Kincaid's second straight practice in a non-contact jersey as Buffalo returns from the team's bye and prepares to host the Ravens in Week 8. Friday's practice will give a more clear picture of Kincaid's status going into the weekend.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Limited to begin Week 8
Rotowire
Kincaid was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury.
Before the Bills went on bye Week 7, Kincaid briefly exited a 33-30 win over the Raiders on Oct. 18 due to what the team referred to as a rib issue. His listed chest injury is presumably related and resulted in Kincaid donning a no-contact jersey during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, per Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard. As long as the tight end is able to practice fully by the end of the week, he should be ready to handle his normal snap share in Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Records seven catches in Week 6
Rotowire
Kincaid (ribs) returned to Sunday's 33-30 win at Las Vegas and finished with seven catches (on eight targets) for 38 yards.
Kincaid missed some time from late in the third quarter and into the fourth to be evaluated in the sideline tent, but he got back on the field with 8:01 remaining and added one more reception to his final line. Overall, he paced the Bills in catches and targets, but he ended Week 6 with his lowest YPC (5.4) of the campaign. The Bills have a Week 7 bye, so he'll have plenty of time to heal up for Buffalo's next game Sunday, Nov. 1 against the Ravens.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Critical scoring catch in OT win
Rotowire
Kincaid brought in one of two targets for seven yards and recorded a two-point conversion catch in the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday night.
Kincaid's quiet stretch after a stellar first two games of the season continued Monday in a game where Josh Allen recorded only 12 completions. However, the fourth-year tight end made one of the two times he touched the ball count, as he recorded a two-point conversion catch following Josh Allen's one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to give the Bills a seven-point lead at the time. Kincaid has a modest 4-52-0 line over the last three games outside of the two-pointer, however, so he'll be looking for a boost in opportunity during a Week 6 road matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Continues explosive start to season Thursday
Rotowire
Kincaid brought in seven of eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions on Thursday.
The star tight end put together a fitting encore to his season-opening 5-130-0 line against the Texans, setting the pace for the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night. Kincaid repeatedly got into the second level of the Lions defense during the high-scoring victory -- including on his 16-yard scoring grab late in the first half -- and his particularly elevated workload was partly the byproduct of DJ Moore's exit with a shoulder injury shortly before the tight end's touchdown catch. Kincaid will remain a vital component of the Bills' red-hot air attack in a Week 3 home showdown against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 27.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: TEs to start
Rotowire
Kincaid was awesome in Week 1 at Houston with five catches for 130 yards on six targets, and we hope that's a sign of things to come for the season. We know that when Kincaid is healthy, he can post outstanding stats, and he looked great against the Texans. The Lions were miserable against the Saints' tight ends in Week 1, with Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant combining for seven catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets. Kincaid has top-five potential in this matchup.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Career-high 130 yards in Week 1
Rotowire
Kincaid caught five of six targets for 130 yards in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.
Kincaid did most of his damage late, recording catches of 40 and 35 yards in the fourth quarter. He cleared offseason addition DJ Moore by 30 receiving yards for the team lead while tying Khalil Shakir for second in targets behind Moore's eight. Kincaid played through a knee injury last season but looked healthy in this season opener while setting a new single-game career high in receiving yards. He'll try to keep rolling in Thursday's Week 2 home game against the Lions.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
I love that Kincaid is expected to see a spike in playing time this year, and he could become a weekly starter for Fantasy managers. But I don't want to use him as a starter in Week 1 against the Texans. Houston was No. 10 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends last season, and only six tight ends scored double digits in PPR. Kincaid had two catches for 34 yards on six targets against Houston in 2024, and he should be held in check again by the Texans this week.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Doesn't play in preseason finale
Rotowire
Kincaid was held out of Thursday's exhibition win over the Steelers.
Kincaid's absence was simply for rest and injury-avoidance purposes, as Buffalo sat out all of its key regular-season starters. Kincaid ended up playing in just one preseason contest, logging nine snaps without seeing any targets. He's slated to be a key target for Josh Allen in the passing game this season and will next take the field in Week 1 versus Houston on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Resumes practicing after brief exit
Rotowire
Kincaid checked out of Monday's practice after he was slow to get up from a play during 11-on-11 drills, but he was able to return to the field for walkthroughs, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
After practice, Kincaid told Getzenberg that he didn't suffer an injury but needed a few minutes to recover after taking a knee to the "family jewels." Kincaid shouldn't face any limitations during future practices and will look to take on a greater role in the Buffalo passing game in 2026 if health prevails. The 26-year-old flashed explosive playmaking ability when available last season, leading all qualified tight ends with an average of 14.6 yards per reception over 12 regular-season contests.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Won't require offseason surgery
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) said Thursday he will not require surgery to address the torn PCL he played through during the 2025 campaign, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Kincaid confirmed that the PCL tear is the same injury he initially suffered in November 2024, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, and that he continued to "tweak it" in different situations throughout the 2025 campaign. That knee injury forced Kincaid to miss five regular-season games and limited his snap count, as he didn't play over 50 percent of offensive snaps a single time after Week 5. Still, the 2023 first-round pick took a step forward as a pass catcher, totaling a 39-571-5 receiving line across 12 regular-season appearances. As Kincaid prepares to rehab his injury again this offseason, he'll focus on strengthening his knee to avoid having to deal with continual issues again in the 2026 season.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Played through torn PCL all season
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) reportedly played with a torn PCL during the entire 2025 season, per Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com.
Kincaid initially suffered the injury in November of 2024. He opted for rehab last offseason but subsequently remained bothered by the injury according to fellow TE Dawson Knox, which capped the 2023 first-rounder's snap counts during the 2025 campaign. Kincaid didn't play more than 55 percent of snaps on offense in any game during the regular season or playoffs. He may try to rehab the injury again this offseason, but if Kincaid opts for surgery, he could face an estimated recovery timeframe of six-to-nine months.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Finds end zone in playoff loss
Rotowire
Kincaid secured all six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 33-30 overtime divisional-round loss to the Broncos on Saturday.
The talented tight end shook off some nagging knee and calf injuries to suit up and finish as the Bills' leader in receiving yards on the afternoon. Kincaid also contributed to Buffalo's comeback from what had been a 23-10 deficit by recording a 14-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Both Kincaid's reception and receiving yardage tallies were his highest since Week 9, while his scoring catch was his second in as many playoff games. Kincaid also put together a solid 2025 regular season during which he missed five games, generating a 39-571-5 line on 49 targets, with 13 of his catches going for 20-plus yards.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Set to play Saturday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee/calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos.
Kincaid was listed as limited on Bills practice reports Tuesday through Thursday, but he'll be available this weekend, nonetheless. With WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) all on IR, Kincaid figures to be busy versus Denver in the absence of any in-game setbacks. During Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Kincaid logged five targets (tied for second on the team) en route to catching three passes for 28 yards and a TD.
