• Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Just one catch Week 1

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Kincaid caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals. Kincaid was expected to take on a larger role in Buffalo's passing game after the team traded away top receiver Stefon Diggs in the offseason, but the tight end was quiet to begin his second NFL season. Fellow tight end Dawson Knox also got two targets, catching one for 23 yards. Buffalo had 33 running plays compared to just 23 throws for Josh Allen, so a lack of volume could be a concern for Kincaid moving forward if he continues to split opportunities with Knox and the Bills keep calling a run-heavy offense. The 2023 first-round draft pick will look to bounce back Thursday in Miami.

• Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Rested for preseason finale

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Kincaid didn't see the field in Saturday's 31-26 preseason loss to the Panthers. Buffalo held key starters like Josh Allen and Kincaid out of the preseason finale to ensure that they're healthy for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Cardinals. Kincaid put up 673 receiving yards in a promising rookie regular season last year, and he's a likely candidate to pick up some of the slack following the offseason departure of wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who accounted for 1,183 receiving yards on 160 targets in the 2023 regular season.

• Bills' Dalton Kincaid: To play over a quarter Saturday

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  The Bills plan for Kincaid and the starting offense to play one and a half quarters during Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Buffalo deployed the first-team units for only a quarter during last week's preseason opener against the Bears, in which Kincaid secured his only target for seven yards. With Dawson Knox (groin/ankle) currently managing a pair of injuries, Kincaid could be in line for a larger portion of snaps than usual Saturday. The second-year pro looks like a breakout candidate at the tight-end position after having put up a 73-673-2 receiving line across 16 regular-season games as a rookie.

• Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Shining at camp

  08/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Kincaid has been impressive throughout training camp, according to Alex Brasky of the Batavia Daily News. The 2023 first-round pick came on strong in the second half of his rookie season -- especially while fellow tight end Dawson Knox was out with a wrist injury -- and now becomes a candidate to lead the Bills in targets post-Stefon Diggs. It is possible Knox's superior size/blocking costs Kincaid some snaps (and therefore routes), but there's no doubt Kincaid will be one of the passing-game priorities whenever he's on the field. The Bills otherwise seem to be counting on WRs Curtis Samuel, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman, along with RB James Cook. While there's no obvious superstar like Diggs, the diversity of skill sets could work well in combination with the rushing threat posed by QB Josh Allen.

• Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Buffalo's leading receiver in loss

  01/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Kincaid caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in Buffalo's 27-24 divisional-round loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. The stat line explains more than just Kincaid having another strong game in what's been a fantastic rookie season, as the fact that his 45 yards led the team shows just how much the Bills couldn't get Stefon Diggs going in such a crucial game, or that Josh Allen has to play Superman with his legs for the team to keep up with elite opponents. As for Kincaid, his 73 receptions in the regular season were the fourth most in NFL history by a rookie tight end, and he's already passed teammate Dawson Knox as the No. 1 tight end in the passing game. The future is bright for Kincaid, who posted a 73-673-2 line in 16 regular-season games, especially considering he'll have an elite quarterback throwing him the ball for perhaps the next several years.
