In this game, Dalton Kincaid is expected by the predictive model to slot into the 95th percentile when it comes to tight ends with 6.4 targets.

Dalton Kincaid is positioned as one of the top tight ends in the pass game this year, averaging an exceptional 32.0 adjusted yards per game while checking in at the 76th percentile.
Cons
An extreme running game script is implied by the Bills being a giant 9.5-point favorite this week.
Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this contest is predicted by the predictive model to see just 125.9 offensive plays called: the 5th-lowest number out of all the games this week.
The Buccaneers pass defense has allowed the 6th-lowest Adjusted Completion% in the league (65%) to tight ends this year (65.0%).
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass defense has displayed good efficiency vs. TEs this year, conceding 5.34 adjusted yards-per-target to the position: the 4th-fewest in football.
