Kincaid (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Cleveland.
After opening Week 16 prep with no on-field work Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury, Kincaid was able to practice without limitations Friday, setting him up to be available to the Bills offense this weekend. In his 10 appearances this season, he's hauled in 36 of 45 targets for 523 yards and five touchdowns, making him a reliable TE option for fantasy purposes when he's available.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Set to practice Friday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) is slated to practice Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Kincaid didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that the tight end didn't experience a setback with his knee. Instead, it's an issue the team is managing ahead of Week 16 action. The Bills' upcoming injury report will reveal Kincaid's game status for Sunday's game against the Browns, but Getzenberg suggests that he's trending toward being available this weekend.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Remains sidelined Thursday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) isn't practicing Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Kincaid was also deemed a non-participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice, so what he's able to do Friday will loom large in determining his status for Sunday's game against the Browns. If Kincaid isn't available this weekend, Dawson Knox would likely be in line for elevated snaps as the Bills' clear top tight end.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Listed as DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) is listed as a non-participant after Wednesday's walk-through practice.
Kincaid wasn't on the injury report last week, and there was no report of an issue during/after Sunday's 35-31 win over New England. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the situation, but it is possible Wednesday's absence is indicative of maintenance more so than real concern about missing time.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: TEs to start
Rotowire
Kincaid returned from a three-game absence due to knee and hamstring injuries in Week 14 against Cincinnati and made an immediate impact with four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown on five targets. He has now scored at least 14.1 PPR points in five of nine healthy games this season, including Week 5 against the Patriots when he had six catches for 108 yards on six targets. New England is No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and seven guys have scored at least 11.3 PPR points against this defense. I like Kincaid as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Not on Week 15 injury report
Rotowire
Kincaid isn't listed on the Bills' injury report Wednesday, Alex Brasky of SB Nation reports.
After missing three games with a hamstring injury, Kincaid caught four of five targets for 41 yards and a TD in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals. His role was about the same as pre-injury, with modest snap/route shares but standout efficiency numbers on a per-route and per-snap basis.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Catches TD in return
Rotowire
Kincaid caught four of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.
After missing the prior three games with hamstring and knee issues, Kincaid made an immediate impact in his return to action, hauling in a five-yard TD in the third quarter. Josh Allen leaned heavily on all his tight ends given the cold, snowy conditions -- Dawson Knox led the Bills with six catches and 93 receiving yards, while No. 3 TE Jackson Hawes also caught a touchdown. A healthy Kincaid might be Allen's favorite target, however, and through nine games this season he's established a new career high with five TDs, along with 33 catches on 41 targets for 489 yards. He'll look to build on this performance in Week 15 against the Patriots.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Kincaid has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury, but he was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday and will hopefully be cleared for Sunday. If healthy, Kincaid is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues given the matchup with the Bengals. Cincinnati is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and 11 guys have scored at least 10.7 PPR points against the Bengals this year. Kincaid scored at least 14.8 PPR points in four of his first seven games, and we would love for him to be active in this matchup.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: To be questionable for Week 14
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Kincaid (hamstring/knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Kincaid last suited up Week 10 at Miami, as a hamstring injury has sidelined him the last three games. A knee injury was added to the practice report this week, and he even was seen sporting a knee brace on his left leg at Thursday's session, per Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard. McDermott also noted Friday that he wants to see Kincaid be "functional" in the Bills' final Week 14 practice in order to clear him to return, so his activity level Friday likely will be key in that regard.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Another limited listing
Rotowire
Kincaid (hamstring/knee) was limited at practice Thursday.
Kincaid, who also was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, now has one more chance to practice fully in advance of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Per Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard, the tight end, who last saw game action Week 10, sported a knee brace on his left leg at practice Thursday as he continues to manage a hamstring injury, along with a knee issue that popped up on Wednesday's injury report.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Inactive versus Steelers
Rotowire
Kincaid (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
After being deemed a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Kincaid, who last saw game action in Week 10, practiced in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable to face Pittsburgh. In his continued absence, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes will handle the Bills' Week 13 tight-end duties, a context that resulted in Knox catching three of his four targets for 17 yards and Hawes hauling in both of his targets in the team's 23-19 loss to the Texans on Nov. 20.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Kincaid (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Kincaid thus will target a potential return to action this coming Thursday, when the Bills face the Texans on the road. In Kincaid's absence this weekend, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes are slated to handle Buffalo's tight end duties versus Tampa Bay, a context that makes Knox a streaming option to consider Week 11.

Kincaid (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Kincaid now has two more opportunities to make a practice appearance before the Bills assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If he's limited or out this weekend, fellow TEs Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes would be in line to see added snaps/targets in Week 11.

Rotowire
Kincaid (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Before sustaining his hamstring injury, Kincaid ended up catching two of his three targets in the contest for 37 yards. He'll now target a potential return to action next Sunday against the Buccaneers. For now, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes are the Bills' healthy tight ends.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Starting Tight Ends
Rotowire
Kincaid had a great game in Week 9 against Kansas City with six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on six targets. He now has five games this season with at least four targets, and he scored at least 14.8 PPR points in four of them. One of those games was Week 3 against Miami, when he had five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on six targets, and the Dolphins are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Four tight ends have scored at least 10.3 PPR points against Miami in the past four games, and Kincaid has top-five upside in all leagues in this matchup.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Top DFS Play
Rotowire
We don't get Brock Bowers on the main slate this week, and Trey McBride is facing the Seahawks, so I am going with Dalton Kincaid as my top play in DFS. The Dolphins have had troubles covering tight ends this year, and Kincaid scored 17.6 PPR Fantasy points against them earlier this year.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Kincaid was quiet in Week 8 at Carolina in his return from a one-game absence with an oblique injury. He had one catch for 23 yards on three targets against the Panthers, but I'm not expecting much more from him in Week 9 against Kansas City. The Chiefs are No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and only Mark Andrews in Week 4 and Sam LaPorta in Week 6 have scored at least 10.0 PPR points against Kansas City, with LaPorta catching the lone touchdown the Chiefs have allowed to the position. Prior to missing Week 6, Kincaid had scored at least 9.8 PPR points in three games in a row, but he scored just 7.1 PPR points in his lone meeting with Kansas City in 2023. I would only start Kincaid in deeper leagues in Week 9.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Quiet in return to action
Rotowire
Kincaid (oblique) brought in one of three targets for 23 yards in the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Making his return from a one-game absence that predated the Week 7 bye, Kincaid made a splash on his one catch but otherwise was quiet. The third-year tight end had posted a 108-yard performance against the Patriots in Week 5 before sitting out Week 6, but he's now recorded 48 receiving yards or less in four of his other five games heading into a Week 9 clash with the Chiefs at home next Sunday afternoon.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Kincaid (oblique) will be limited in Friday's practice and listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Kincaid, who was inactive for the Bills' loss to the Falcons in Week 6 after being limited at practice three consecutive days, has yet to upgrade to full participation since then, and given his questionable designation, the tight end's Week 8 status won't be known until the inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Kincaid ends up limited or sidelined versus Carolina, Dawson Knox would be in line to see added snaps/targets, with Jackson Hawes available to mix in.
