Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has missed two straight games due to a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old was able to log limited practices on both Thursday and Friday, so he may be on track to make his return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Across eight games this season, Kincaid has recorded 29 catches for 448 yards and four touchdowns on 36 targets. When healthy, he's been one of Bills quarterback Josh Allen's favorite red zone targets. However, Kincaid's playing time is consistently limited by how the Bills deploy fellow tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes. If Kincaid is limited by his hamstring issue, the team could choose to restrict his playing time even further against Pittsburgh. If he's active, Kincaid profiles as a borderline low-end TE1 in Week 13.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be questionable to play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, according to Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. Kincaid, who last played in Week 10, did not practice on Wednesday, but he'll close out the week with two limited practices. The 26-year-old could be a game-time decision this weekend, which will make things a bit more difficult for fantasy managers trying to make lineup decisions, as the Bills and Steelers play in the later window on Sunday. Kincaid should be a top target for quarterback Josh Allen if he's active. If Kincaid misses a third straight game, Dawson Knox will have a bigger role again. Knox hasn't done much with Kincaid out the last two games, though, catching only four passes for 40 yards and no touchdowns on seven targets.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session, according to the team. Kincaid opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but was upgraded to limited on Thursday, which potentially puts him in a position to return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old tight end hasn't played since injuring his hamstring during Buffalo's Week 10 loss at the Miami Dolphins, but has been improving in his recovery. Head coach Sean McDermott said earlier this week that "there's a chance" that Kincaid returns this Sunday, and we'll know more about his status after Friday's practice. Kincaid would provide a major lift to a Bills passing attack that has struggled lately, and he'd slot back in as a borderline TE1 for Week 13 if he can play.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said "there's a chance" that tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) returns to play this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. However, Kincaid will not be at practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Kincaid is slowly improving, but he has not played since injuring his hamstring back in Week 10, and he's up in the air to return this weekend. Without the 26-year-old on the field, Dawson Knox has failed to take advantage of his increased opportunities, catching only four passes on seven targets for 40 yards in the last two weeks. Kincaid is one of Buffalo's top pass-catchers this year, so they could really use him back for an important game against Pittsburgh, but he's going to need to get back on the practice field first. If Kincaid returns in Week 13, he'll be immediately back on the TE1 radar in fantasy.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Friday that tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is improving, and the team will see where he's headed going into a Week 13 matchup versus the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 30, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Kincaid suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins and hasn't practiced or played since. The 26-year-old will have extra time to rehab before the Bills' Week 13 game, though, so fantasy managers will be keeping their fingers crossed that he can return by then. Quarterback Josh Allen is surely hoping that he'll have Kincaid available after being sacked a career-high eight times and finishing with no touchdowns for only the third time in his career in Thursday's loss to the Texans. Kincaid will immediately be back on the TE1 radar whenever he returns. He has caught 29 of his 36 targets this year for 448 yards and four touchdowns as one of Allen's top targets.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday night's matchup against the Houston Texans. Kincaid suffered a hamstring injury in Week 10's loss to the Miami Dolphins and will now miss his second straight game. Before going down, he was on pace for a breakout season, catching 29 of 36 targets for 448 yards and four touchdowns in just eight games. With Kincaid sidelined, Dawson Knox will handle TE1 duties, while rookie Jackson Hawes is expected to see an increased role. However, Knox managed just one catch in Week 11, making him a risky fantasy replacement. Kincaid's next chance to return will be in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not participate in Tuesday's practice session, according to Maddy Glab of the Buffalo Bills. Kincaid also missed Monday's practice, and with a short week ahead of a Thursday night matchup with the Houston Texans, it's looking unlikely that he will be able to suit up. The 26-year-old suffered the injury in Buffalo's Week 10 loss to the Dolphins and has been labeled as week to week. Backup tight end Dawson Knox filled in Kincaid's place, playing 75% of the snaps in their Week 11 win over the Buccaneers, but recorded one reception for 23 yards on three targets. Assuming Kincaid is ruled out for Thursday, Knox should again see a healthy role and be considered a low-end TE2.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not practice on Monday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Kincaid suffered a hamstring injury in Week 10 and wasn't cleared to play in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old has two days left to get back on the practice field, but on a short week, his chances of playing on Thursday night against the Houston Texans could be slim. The Bills listed Kincaid as week-to-week last week, so fantasy managers should be preparing for him to miss a second straight game in Week 12. With Kincaid sidelined in Week 11, backup Dawson Knox played 75% of the offensive snaps but caught just one of his three targets for 23 yards despite the Bills hanging a 44 spot on the Bucs. If Kincaid misses another game, Knox should be considered a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in fantasy football.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott reports that tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not be active for this weekend's meeting with the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid sustained a hamstring injury in Week 10's loss to the Dolphins that was deemed week-to-week. After failing to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, it's no surprise that he won't be able to suit up for this Sunday's clash with the Bucs. Fantasy managers can expect teammate Dawson Knox to handle most of Buffalo's tight end duties in Week 11, with teammate Jackson Hawes mixing in behind him. Wide receiver Khalil Shaki (ankle, ribs) is also trending toward playing.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) remains absent from practice heading into a difficult Week 11 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid has been quarterback Josh Allen's primary weapon when healthy, but the team is at risk of being without their tight end for the second time this season. Dalton Knox remains an option for tight-end-needy teams heading into the weekend. With Kincaid continuing to trend in the wrong direction, Knox should be rostered in all formats heading into a likely high-scoring matchup.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, per Jak Skurski of The Buffalo News. Kincaid injured his hamstring in the Week 10 upset loss to the Miami Dolphins and is considered week-to-week. A DNP for the first practice of the week is a bad sign for Kincaid's chances of playing this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. Fantasy managers who have been using Kincaid as their TE1 need to make sure they have a backup plan in place. In addition to Kincaid, Buffalo's top wideout, Khalil Shakir (rib), is nursing a rib injury that makes him questionable to play this week. If Kincaid cannot get the green light to face the Bucs, Dawson Knox would become a TE2 streamer for fantasy managers in need of help at the position. Kincaid currently ranks second on the Bills with 448 receiving yards and leads the team with four touchdown receptions.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is considered week-to-week with the hamstring injury that he suffered in Sunday's upset loss to the Miami Dolphins, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Kincaid has been one of the team's top targets this year, catching 29 passes for 448 yards and a team-high four touchdowns, so losing him for any amount of time would be bad news for the slumping Bills. Before getting hurt in Week 10, the 26-year-old caught two of his three targets for 37 yards. Fellow TE Dawson Knox caught three of his four targets for a season-high 37 yards against Miami with Kincaid injured, and he'll be in play as a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if Kincaid is unable to play. Fantasy managers should consider Kincaid a highly volatile option for Week 11. Check back later this week to see if he's able to practice.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Miami Dolphins. He initially exited in the third quarter and was listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. Kincaid had caught two of three targets for 37 yards at the time of his departure. Dawson Knox will take over as the Bills' primary tight end as they try to erase a two-possession deficit in Miami.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Miami Dolphins. He is officially listed as questionable to return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. At the time of his departure, Kincaid had caught two of three targets for a team-leading 37 yards. The 26-year-old and his teammates haven't been able to get much going offensively, falling into a shocking two-possession deficit against Miami. Dawson Knox will take over as the Bills' primary tight end until Kincaid can return to action.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is ready to shine again in a Week 10 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Kincaid leads all Bills receivers with 411 yards despite missing one game. The Bills' tight end posted his second 100-yard game of the season last week, and faces a Dolphins defense that has given up the fifth-highest weekly score to tight ends this season. In their Week 3 matchup, Kincaid found the endzone while hauling in five catches for 66 yards. Kincaid is a must-start this week in a juicy matchup during the early slate of games.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had a monster game in his team's 28-21 Week 9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, recording six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on six targets. The 26-year-old has now recorded 27 receptions for 411 yards and four scores on 33 targets across seven games played in 2025. Kincaid missed Buffalo's Week 6 loss due to an oblique injury and was eased back into the lineup in the team's blowout Week 8 win, their first game back from their bye week. He appeared to be back to full health in Week 9, which is a great sign for both fantasy managers and the Bills. Kincaid profiles as a clear fantasy starter at the tight end position heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Buffalo's TE Dalton Kincaid had 6 receptions for 101 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's win against the Chiefs.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid appears ready for a full workload as the team prepares to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Last week, Kincaid was eased back into the lineup with just a 22% snap share against the overmatched Carolina Panthers. This week, the Bills will need their star at full speed as they take on their biggest AFC competition. In the playoffs last season, Kincaid hauled in just two passes on four targets for 13 yards. Quarterback Josh Allen will look to get Kincaid more involved early in this week's matchup, as the young tight end's impact on this offense continues to grow.
