Kincaid

Kincaid will miss his second-straight game with the knee injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Colts. Even after the team’s Week 12 bye, the second-year tight end is still on the mend and will now target a Week 14 return against the Rams. With Kincaid out, Dawson Knox becomes a top-12 play and should be on the streaming radar for any team in need of help at the position.

Kincaid will hope to get in a late-week practice if he’s going to play in Week 13 against the Niners. With Kincaid out in Week 11 against Kansas City, Dawson Knox ran a route on 37 of the Bills’ 43 drop backs and caught four of his six targets for 40 yards. Knox would be a top-12 tight end play against the 49ers if Kincaid were to miss another game.

Head coach Sean McDermott has already ruled out Kincaid for the week, meaning Dawson Knox will have a chance to start against the Chiefs. Kincaid did not practice this week after going down in Week 10’s win over the Colts, and will now have an extra week to recover with the Bills headed for a Week 12 bye. He’ll hopefully be ready to go in Week 13 when the Bills return to face the 49ers.

The 8-2 Bills are in a tricky situation. They currently sit second in the AFC playoff picture, trailing only the 9-0 Chiefs, their Week 11 opponent. While the game can only be viewed as a must-win contest, it is important to note that the Bills are on bye in Week 12. Resting Kincaid for two weeks could give him the time he needs to be at full strength for a Super Bowl run.

Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the first half of the Bills’ Week 10 win against the Colts and did not return to the game. He had two catches for 24 yards before exiting. The Bills could hold him out in Week 11 against the Chiefs with the team’s bye set for Week 12. Kincaid’s injury could open up routes and targets for Dawson Knox, who becomes a streaming option if Kincaid is sidelined against KC.

It was setting up to be a big game for Kincaid before he injured his knee in the second quarter. He tried to put on a brace and play through the pain but he was unable to and left the game for good in the third quarter. With the Bills having their bye week after next week’s game against the Chiefs, it’s possible that the team could hold Kincaid out for next week to make sure he gets healthy. If that were the case, Dawson Knox would re-emerge into a large role in the passing game.

Kincaid left the game in the second quarter but was able to return early in the third. However, he was hobbling around while on the field and was removed from the game. His status will be one to watch heading into next week’s game against the Chiefs.

Kincaid left the game late in the second quarter with a knee injury and was ruled questionable to return after he was seen trying to run with a brace on. It looks like the 25-year-old will miss just one drive. The Bills really need him with both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman out with wrist injuries.

Kincaid suffered the injury late in the second quarter. He came out of the medical tent and tried to run with a brace on before returning to the locker room before the Bills’ final drive of the half. With both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman out, Kincaid had seen four targets already in the first half and was in store for a heavy workload. The team will look for more out of Dawson Knox while Kincaid is sidelined.

The 10-target effort was just the second of Kincaid’s career, though it resulted in yet another underwhelming box score. It was a failed test with Amari Cooper out of the lineup and Jalen Ramsey harassing the Bills’ wideouts. Kincaid has drawn at least six targets in six straight contests but hasn’t exceeded 52 yards in the process. He has settled in as a floor-based low-end TE1 who hasn’t flashed a ceiling this season. He gets the Colts in Week 10.
