Dalton Kincaid's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

BuffaloBills.com's Chris Brown lists Buffalo Bills second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid as a breakout candidate in 2024 after finishing eighth among tight ends in his rookie season in receptions with 73. With receiver Stefon Diggs now gone -- Diggs was the only player in the passing game that had more targets than Kincaid in 2023 -- the opportunity is ripe for Kincaid to lead the team in that category this year. If he stays healthy, the former 25th overall pick could be a top-five fantasy tight end in just his second year in the league. In addition to his 73 receptions (on 91 targets), Kincaid had 673 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (11 starts) in 2023. Kincaid's combination of talent at a shallow position and the opportunity in Buffalo in 2024 will make him pretty attractive in all fantasy setups.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid led his team with 45 receiving yards as they were beaten 27-24 by the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday's Divisional Round, gathering each of his five targets. Kincaid held on for a tough 15-yard grab along the right sideline on Buffalo's opening possession for his longest pickup, and quarterback Josh Allen turned to him frequently late in the game as a chain-moving presence. There were plenty of ebbs and flows to Kincaid's rookie campaign, but it should be deemed a success overall. The 24-year-old first-rounder concluded his season with either five catches or 59 yards in each of his final four showings all told, bouncing back from a shaky string of play and establishing himself as one of Allen's new favorite weapons. Gabe Davis (knee) is an unrestricted free agent this spring, meaning Kincaid could enter 2024 as the Bills' No. 2 target behind Stefon Diggs and a top-12 option in summer drafts.

After experiencing a steady decline in productivity for nearly two months, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has worked his way back into fantasy TE1 talks for Sunday's Divisional Round versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Kincaid has recorded 233 yards and a touchdown in his latest three games, and the Bills have gotten him more involved downfield. Notching season highs in air yards in each of these three contests, Kincaid put his field-stretching aptitude on full display with a 29-yard catch-and-run up the seam in last Monday's wild-card triumph over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The first-round rookie will have his work cut out to hit paydirt again, since the Chiefs are tied for the third-fewest TDs allowed to enemy TEs (four) this year. With Gabe Davis (knee) still out due to a PCL sprain, Kincaid is in line to act as Buffalo's complementary passing option behind alpha target Stefon Diggs and is a fairly safe DFS play at a $4,600 cost on DraftKings.
