Dawson Knox Fantasy Overview

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 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.

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.”

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.
