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 TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. TE Dawson Knox (knee) is active and joins Jackson Hawes in the TE room. We’d stay away from the situation in the matchup vs. Philadelphia’s second-ranked TE defense.

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.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid appeared to injure his right hamstring in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. We'll update his status when we know more. Kincaid's absence leaves Buffalo's TE room to Dawson Knox and rookie Jackson Hawes.

Update: Kincaid has been ruled out.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and a TD. It was a solid fantasy outing, but he played fewer snaps than Dawson Knox. Kincaid was on the field for 49.4% of snaps compared with Knox’s 57.6%. He flashed his receiving ability, but managers should be cautious before trusting him as a weekly starter.

The Rams selected Georgia Tech TE Jackson Hawes in Round 5 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Hawes totaled only 51 catches over six college seasons – five at Yale and one at Georgia Tech. Primarily a blocker, he ran a route on just 38% of his career snaps and averaged an ugly 0.77 yards per route. Hawes did tally a career-best 1.01 yards per route at Georgia Tech last year – but that still ranked 20th among 21 TEs at the Combine. There are flashes of contested-catch skills on Hawes’ tape, but he’s ultimately a longshot to get enough pass-catching work as a pro to be a fantasy factor.
