A hamstring strain kept Kincaid sidelined in Weeks 11-13. He resumed practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday last week. While he opened Week 14 practices with a limited designation as well, the team now lists him with both hamstring and knee injuries on the official report. Kincaid was plagued by a PCL sprain in his knee last season. Hopefully, this is a non-issue and he can retake the field on game day this weekend. Unfortunately, he may have suffered the knee injury during today’s practice, postponing his return. Stay tuned.

He “added” two catches for -6 yards. Kamara rotated with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson during the first half. He did not see a single snap after halftime. Kamara looked capable of returning to the game while on the sideline and an injury was never announced, but it’s still possible his back injury flared up in the first half. He was listed as questionable heading into today’s game. Even if he plays in Week 6 versus the Giants, Kamara is barely on the fantasy radar right now.

Hudson saw three targets on the day, catching a Joe Burrow touchdown pass towards the end of the first half. The Bengals used all of their tight ends against Miami; Hudson saw 19 snaps while Mike Gesicki saw 28 and Erick All and Drew Sample tied with 33 snaps. It was a run-heavy day for Cincy, but the four tight ends all combined for nine targets. All caught all three of his targets for 25 yards while Sample caught his only target for five yards.

The Bengals utilized all of their tight ends against the Dolphins, with Gesicki catching just one pass on the day. His sole reception was a touchdown on the Bengals’ opening drive, totaling four on the season and salvaging some fantasy value for those who streamed him at tight end this week. Gesicki’s value is lowered when Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are active; his red zone utilization makes Gesicki a low-end fantasy TE2 heading into the Bengals’ Week 6 bye.

Treadwell was third on the team in targets, but he’s seeing most of his work on deep passes down the field, which Daniel Jones has had a hard time connecting on. Treadwell did play only three fewer snaps than Josh Downs and ran 39 routes on 47 dropbacks. We should note that Keenan Allen (groin) was not playing a full snap share in his first week back from injury, so Treadwell could see his role slip a bit next week. Even so, he’s a downfield threat on a team that has struggled to pass the ball, which makes it hard to roster him outside of the deepest formats.

Jordan Addison missed this game with an ankle injury and the Vikings deployed Felton as their WR2 over Jauan Jennings. Jennings ran fewer routes and failed to catch his only target. Felton wasn’t awfully productive either, but it’s good to see the former third-round pick picking up more work in his second season. He will return to a rotational role, assuming Addison is cleared to play after the Vikings’ Week 6 bye.

Allen surprisingly added just one catch for zero yards on four targets. Not ideal, though Allen’s rushing output nearly doubled his previous career high of 59. It was exactly what the Jets and fantasy managers needed during Breece Hall’s second straight absence with a quad injury. Allen contributed runs of 10, 17, 11 and 22 yards, with that final rush finding the end zone. He also had a 13-yarder called back by holding. In other words, he was both grinding out tough yards and providing longer gains. Isaiah Davis mixed in for only cursory breather back work. With Hall yet to resume practicing, Allen should have another plug-and-play RB2 setup in Week 6 against the Patriots.
