Bills' Dalton Kincaid: One catch in divisional-round win
Rotowire
Kincaid caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-25 AFC divisional-round win over the Ravens.
Kincaid continues to post modest numbers, though he was hardly the only player to struggle in the passing game for the Bills in this one, as only Khalil Shakir (67) exceeded 15 receiving yards. The talented tight end could be more involved in the AFC Championship Game against a Chiefs defense that allowed the most receiving yards in the league to the position in the regular season.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Three catches in wild-card win
Rotowire
Kincaid played 29 of the Bills' 76 offensive snaps and finished with three catches for 47 yards on three targets in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card win over the Broncos.
After being active but not playing in the Bills' Week 18 loss to the Patriots while Buffalo was locked into the AFC's No. 2 seed, Kincaid was back in action for the playoff opener, but he once again played second fiddle at tight end to Dawson Knox. For the fourth consecutive game in which both tight ends saw action, Knox outpaced Kincaid in playing time, taking the field for 46 snaps. While Kincaid brings more speed at the position and offers a more diverse route tree, Knox is the more trusted blocker and isn't a total zero as a receiver, as he caught two passes for 38 yards against Denver and finished the regular season with a 22-311-1 line on 33 targets over 16 games. As such, the more experienced Knox looks as though he could continue to play ahead of Kincaid when the Bills host the Ravens in the divisional round next Sunday.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Sits out Week 18
Rotowire
Kincaid didn't play any snaps during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.
Though Kincaid wasn't inactive for the regular-season finale, the Bills ended up holding out the second-year tight end and a number of other key players since they had already secured the AFC's No. 2 seed heading into the day. Since his return from injury Week 15, Kincaid's playing time has hovered below 50 percent of offensive snaps over his last three appearances, so additional rest could leave him ready to handle an increased role in Sunday's wild-card round game against the Broncos. Across 13 regular-season appearances in Year 2, Kincaid secured 44 of 75 targets for 448 yards and two touchdowns.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Just two catches in Week 17
Rotowire
Kincaid caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.
Kincaid finished sixth on the team in receiving yards as Josh Allen spread the ball around in the lopsided win. The talented tight end hasn't been much of a factor for a while, having exceeded 32 yards only once since Week 7. His next chance to snap this slump likely won't come until the playoffs, as the Bills' starters should play sparingly or not at all in Week 18 against the Patriots.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Does little with seven targets
Rotowire
Kincaid recorded four receptions on seven targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.
Despite winning, the entire Buffalo passing attack struggled against the Patriots. Kincaid was no exception, though there were positives to take away from his usage, despite the disastrous stat line. Notably, he led the team with seven targets and now has hit that mark in both of his games since returning from a knee injury.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Kincaid returned from his three-game absence with a knee injury in Week 15 at Detroit and had four catches for 53 yards on seven targets. He now has five games this season with at least seven targets, and he scored at least 9.3 PPR points in four of them. The Bills will likely make an effort to get Kincaid going prior to the playoffs, and the Patriots have allowed two tight ends in their past three games to score at least 17.7 PPR points.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Active versus Detroit
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Kincaid, who has missed the Bills' last three games, was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice estimate, as well as Friday's session. With Kincaid deemed available versus Detroit, the tight end should step back into a key role in Buffalo's passing game in Week 15, barring any limitations or in-game setbacks. Prior to sustaining his knee injury, Kincaid had recorded a 34/356/2 receiving line on 59 targets over the course of 10 games.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Kincaid (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Kincaid, who has missed the Bills' last three games, was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice estimate, and he'll work Friday in some capacity. If he's available versus Detroit, the tight end likely would step back into a key role in Buffalo's passing game. However, given his looming questionable designation, confirmation of Kincaid's Week 15 status won't arrive until inactives are posted ahead of Buffalo's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Kincaid, who last played in Week 10, was deemed questionable for the contest after practicing in limited fashion Wednesday through Friday. With the 2023 first-rounder sidelined once again Sunday, Dawson Knox is on track to continue see added opportunities as the Bills' top pass-catching tight end option, while Zach Davidson is on hand to provide depth at the position in Week 14.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Not expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, is not expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kincaid, who last played Week 10, was able practice all week but on a limited basis. He apparently didn't demonstrate enough progress in his recovery from the knee injury to get the green light to play, though his status won't be confirmed until the Bills release their inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Dawson Knox looks primed to serve as the Bills' top tight end in Kincaid's stead.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: May return to action Sunday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams.
Kincaid made an early exit Week 10 at Indianapolis due to a knee injury and wasn't able to practice until this week, when he strung together three consecutive limited sessions. He thus has a chance to end his absence at two games, something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Kincaid is inhibited or inactive this weekend, Dawson Knox again would handle most of the TE reps for the Bills.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.
Kincaid, who last suited up for game action in Week 10, was also deemed limited in Wednesday's walk-through. With that in mind, the tight end will likely have to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Rams without an injury designation. If Kincaid remains out this weekend, however, Dawson Knox would be in line to continue seeing added opportunities as the Bills' top pass-catching TE option.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Kincaid (knee) won't play Sunday night against the 49ers.
With Kincaid set to miss his second straight contest, Dawson Knox is slated to maintain an expanded role in the Bills offense while serving as the team's primary option at tight end versus San Francisco. Kincaid's next chance to see game action will occur Dec. 8 when Buffalo faces the Rams in Week 14.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott said that Kincaid (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Kincaid missed the Bills' Week 11 win over the Chiefs and is still not practicing following the team's bye week. He has two more chances to get in some on-field work ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, but if Kincaid remains sidelined this weekend, Dawson Knox would maintain an expanded role as the Bills' primary option at tight end.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Dealing with knee issue
Rotowire
Kinkaid returned to play two snaps in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts before sitting out the remainder of the game due to the knee injury he suffered earlier in the contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. "Thought I could go and just didn't feel good enough to run and be able to go out there and protect myself," the tight end, when asked about his brief return to the game.
Kincaid, who finished up the game with two catches on five targets for 24 yards, will likely get his knee checked out during the upcoming week. For the time being, consider the tight end day-to-day in advance of next Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Dawson Knox would step in as the Bills' starting tight end in Week 11 if Kinkaid is unable to play.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
We'll see what happens at receiver for the Bills with Amari Cooper (wrist) questionable and Keon Coleman (wrist) out. If both are out in Week 10 at the Colts, then Kincaid could have a big game, and Indianapolis is No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Kincaid has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in two of his past four games, and he just had 10 targets in Week 9 against Miami, although he only had four catches for 32 yards against the Dolphins. He should see a lot of volume again if Cooper and Coleman are out, and that makes Kincaid a trustworthy Fantasy option heading into Week 10.
