Bills TE Dalton Kincaid returned from a hamstring injury to post 4 catches, 41 yards, and 1 TD against the Bengals. But it was Dawson Knox who led the team in targets (7), catches (6) and yards (93). Third-string TE Jackson Hawes even added a goal line TD on his lone target.
What They're Saying
Here's QB Josh Allen reacting to Kincaid's performance (via SI):
"He's a difference maker out there for us. We know that, and I think the defense knows that, too, but he's, yeah, he's an absolute stud."
HC Sean McDermott shared a positive update on Kincaid's health.
"It’s good to have Dalton back. And I think from the sounds of it, he made it through healthy."
2025 Fantasy Football Impact
The Bengals have been historically bad against TEs this season, and that continued against the Bills. They’ve now allowed 7.5 catches, 96.7 yards, and 1.1 TDs per game to the position.
Kincaid scored on a second-and-goal slant route from the five. On the day, he ranked second on the bills in targets (5), catches (4), and yards (41).
Kincaid’s routes remained limited, as expected. But his 53% route rate from Sunday matched his season-long, pre-injury figure. His targets per route run figure (26%) came in slightly higher than his season-long sample (24%).
Bottom line: Kincaid brings the potential to produce more impactful fantasy lines down the stretch, especially given Buffalo’s uncertainty at WR. Week 15 turns up a positive TE matchup at New England.
