Bills TE Dalton Kincaid suffered a rib injury in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He headed back to the locker room with trainers and is officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.

It’s been two completely opposite stories for Kincaid over the first five weeks of the season. After ranking as the TE2 with 20.3 PPR points per game over the first two weeks, he’s ranked as the TE46 with just 3.2 PPR points per game over the past three weeks. Kincaid hauled in one of his 2 targets for seven yards and completed a 2-point attempt leading to 3.7 PPR points to land as the TE38 in Week 5.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 1 of 2 targets for 7 yards in Sunday's 29-26 loss to the Patriots. That added up to just 1.7 PPR points. He played only 35 of 59 snaps (59.3%) and ran 20 routes. Dawson Knox actually played more snaps (36) and matched Kincaid with 2 targets, catching both for 13 yards. Buffalo leaned on three-WR sets while playing from behind.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid finished Sunday's game with just 2 catches for 38 yards among 3 targets. His production struggled amid a poor passing day for Buffalo, but there were a couple of specifics worth noting.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 7 of 8 targets for 95 yards and a score in Thursday night’s win over the Lions. The targets, catches, and yards led the team. Kincaid was used all over the formation: In-line for 59% of his snaps, in the slot 25% of the time, 8% out wide, and 8% in the backfield. And he was unrecoverable by a Lions secondary that was playing without both its starting safeties. Kincaid’s TD came on a seam route from 16 yards out.

The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia supplied an encouraging update on Bills TE Dalton Kincaid. “This camp and preseason have looked and felt a bit different for Kincaid,” Buscaglia said. “He’s been at practice every day, he looks stronger, and he’s playing with more physicality in the blocking game. Most importantly, his usage during camp practices has seen a bit of a bump, even with tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes fully healthy. It’s not to say that he’s on the precipice of playing 75 percent or more of the team’s offensive snaps, but Kincaid’s health, summer usage, and ability are all trending toward an enhanced role in 2026.”

Most camp health updates focus on injuries that a player is dealing with or returning from. For Bills TE Dalton Kincaid, though, it's worth noting that he has yet to miss a workout. That's because Kincaid spent portions of each of the past two years managing a PCL tear. Last year proved especially rough as Kincaid played just 37.6% of Buffalo's offensive snaps across his 12 games and ranked just 48th among TEs in total routes run. Kincaid still elected to pass on surgery for the PCL this offseason.

ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reports that WR D.J. Moore has enjoyed a strong start to his first training camp with the Bills. Moore reportedly made "highlight catches" on each of the first two days and looks like the lead receiver.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid will need to play much more than he did in 2025 if he has a shot at becoming a comfortable weekly fantasy starter. Will it happen? According to Tim Graham, Bills beat writer for The Athletic, HC Joe Brady s "wondering how Buffalo will maintain Kincaid's week-to-week and play-to-play wherewithal." Brady reportedly discussed the possibility of Kincaid sitting out some practices during the season and "stated Kincaid simply might have to play through the pain." The issue is the PCL in his left knee, which Kincaid injured back in November 2024. He has avoided surgery each of the past two offseasons, but 2025 found him aggravating the knee on multiple occasions.

The Bills picked up the fifth-year option on TE Dalton Kincaid. The move triggers $8.1 million in fully guaranteed money for the 2027 season.

Bills GM Brandon Beane said a key offseason priority is finding a way to keep TE Dalton Kincaid healthy. Kincaid has dealt with multiple knee injuries, plus hamstring and oblique issues, over the past two seasons. "Our number one thing with Dalton is to see if we can get him in a healthier fashion this year, so that we don't have to A: miss games, and then B: limit how much he's playing," Beane said.
