Kincaid

Kincaid had one huge play in the third quarter, with a 54-yard catch down the sideline. There wasn’t much else to his day, but he was targeted in the end zone on a play that wound up being called defensive pass interference. He remains more of a high-end TE2 in a crowded passing attack in Buffalo.

With Kincaid’s multi-year knee injury behind him, the Bills’ tight end put together a great offseason and has proven to be a reliable player even when banged up this season. Kincaid is firmly in the TE1 ranks for this divisional showdown against the Jets in Week 10.

After two limited sessions we don’t have a lot of doubt that Kincaid will be ready to play in Week 10’s game against the Jets. He may be managed a bit, though, as he toughs it out. He’ll remain a TE1 play regardless.

Kincaid has successfully played through a couple of injuries this season, and we expect that to be the case again this week, when the Bills face the Jets. Kincaid’s early-week limited participation puts him on track to play. He is a TE1 in this divisional showdown.

Kincaid was asked to block at an increased rate against a Minnesota defense that currently holds the NFL record for highest blitz rate, heavily influence both his route rate and volume. Normal TE3 Keleki Latu caught his first professional touchdown on a broken play near the end of the first half, which was the only touchdown thrown from quarterback Josh Allen. Kincaid has been one of fantasy’s biggest disappointments considering his lofty draft capital this summer, now held to four receptions or fewer in five of eight games to start the 2026 season. He’ll be a high end TE2 against the Jets in Week 10.

Kincaid remained limited in all three practices last week, so today’s return to full participation is great to see. The Vikings’ blitz-based defense often requires tight ends to stay in line to block, which could hurt Kincaid’s route volume. Regardless, he is too talented to be removed from the TE1 ranks.

Kincaid should be good to go for the Bills’ Monday Night Football game against the Vikings. It’s a tough matchup, and he could be asked to block more than usual. Still, Kincaid warrants TE1 treatment thanks to his talent, usage and quarterback.

Playing through a chest injury that he suffered in Week 6, Kincaid didn’t appear to be slowed at all in what was a strong outing against the Ravens. Kincaid ripped off a 40-yard gain in the fourth quarter to help set up an eventual touchdown pass to DJ Moore, and on the following drive, he broke free down the right sideline to haul in a 23-yard touchdown reception of his own. Kincaid dropped what appeared to be a walk-in touchdown earlier in the game, which could have resulted in a much bigger fantasy day, but fantasy managers won’t be mad at this output. He has now drawn eight and six targets in his last two games and will be in the TE1 mix next week when the Bills take on the Vikings.

It was reported shortly before inactives were announced that Kincaid was expected to play. Now that he’s officially active, he will join DJ Moore, who is returning from a shoulder injury, to face a stingy Ravens defense. Despite some highly volatile performances this season, Kincaid will be in the TE1 mix this week.

Kincaid got banged up late in Week 6 and then got a bye week to rest up. He was limited in all three practices this week before being listed as questionable for Week 8. Kincaid will play a part-time role, per usual, but his elite efficiency has been enough to keep him in the TE1 mix so far. Playing in a shootout with the Ravens, he’ll remain in the top 12 tight ends this week as well.
