Buffalo Bills DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Sean McDermott said. Kincaid is now slated to miss his second consecutive contest. In the last occurrence, Dawson Knox stepped up as the Bills' top tight end, catching four of six passes for 40 yards. While Knox doesn't nearly have the same skill set as Kincaid, he's still capable of carving out a role on offense. Fantasy managers should view Knox as a high-end fantasy TE2 this week against the Niners.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) was limited for a second consecutive practice on Thursday. The rookie hasn't played since Week 9, but back-to-back limited practices could suggest that Coleman has a chance to play against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. If active, he'd still have to vie for offensive opportunities alongside Khalil Shakir and Amari Cooper. For the time being, Coleman ranks outside the top 36 fantasy receivers.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old played in the Bills' first 10 games of the season before missing Week 11 due to his knee injury and spending Week 12 on a bye. There's still a chance Kincaid could play in Week 13, but he'd likely need to log a limited or full practice on Friday in order to enter the weekend with any injury designation other than "out." The second-year tight end faces an uphill battle to play, and if he does sit out Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, Dawson Knox would be in line for an expanded role on offense.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) will put in a limited practice on Wednesday as the team comes out of their bye week. Coleman missed the team's last two games in Weeks 10 and 11 before Buffalo had their bye in Week 12. A return to a limited practice on Wednesday is a good sign for Coleman, but it's no guarantee that he'll return for a Sunday night showdown in Buffalo against the visiting San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. With Coleman sitting out the last two games, both veterans Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins were more involved in the passing attack behind Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakir. If Coleman gets cleared to play this weekend, he'll rejoin three-receiver sets next to Cooper and Shakir and be a nice red-zone weapon for quarterback Josh Allen. Coleman has 22 catches for 417 yards and three TDs on 36 targets in his first nine NFL games.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) won't practice on Wednesday. Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and then didn't play in the Week 11 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Coming out of the Week 12 bye, it's not a good sign that Kincaid is still absent from practice, but the 25-year-old second-year TE still has two more days of practice this week. For now, though, he should be considered questionable to suit up in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. And if Kincaid is questionable on Friday's final injury report, it will mean fantasy managers might have to make a tough decision on him this week. If Kincaid misses a second straight game, Dawson Knox will have TE1 upside yet again. He caught four of a season-high six targets for 40 yards in Week 11 with Kincaid sidelined.
