Dalton Kincaid

It's a good sign for Kincaid that he was able to string a pair of practices in a row together. And play he will for fantasy managers if he's healthy, because the Bengals defense was designed in a lab to increase tight end production for their opponents. Kincaid seems likely to at least hit the questionable line on Thursday.

Kincaid (hamstring/knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

A hamstring strain kept Kincaid sidelined in Weeks 11-13. He resumed practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday last week. While he opened Week 14 practices with a limited designation as well, the team now lists him with both hamstring and knee injuries on the official report. Kincaid was plagued by a PCL sprain in his knee last season. Hopefully, this is a non-issue and he can retake the field on game day this weekend. Unfortunately, he may have suffered the knee injury during today's practice, postponing his return. Stay tuned.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. The knee issue is new. Kincaid's status for this weekend remains uncertain, but he should certainly be pushing for a return to face the Bengals' historically bad TE defense. That matchup will give TE Dawson Knox spot-start appeal if Kincaid remains out.

It's a good sign that Kincaid could finally return to the Buffalo offense in Week 14 against the Bengals, a defense that has been tormented by opposing tight ends all year. No defense allows more tight end receptions, targets, yards, or touchdowns than the Bengals. If Kincaid suits up for Week 14, he'll be a must play option in all formats. Kincaid in 2025 has been targeted on 27 percent of his routes, the highest rate in the league among tight ends. Dawson Knox would be an excellent streamer if Kincaid is sidelined.
