Reports out of the Bills’ first day of training camp have both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox taking first-team reps pretty evenly.
Will the Bills real TE1 please stand up? Many fantasy experts and managers have been hoping that Dalton Kincaid would garner the full-time role as the Bills TE1 but Dawson Knox appears like he is not going anywhere. Both tight ends were heavily involved with the first team but it’s only the first day. Let the battle begin!
Last season as a rookie, Kincaid illustrated that he would be a threat for the coming years in the passing game, as he was targeted 91 times and brought in 73 receptions for 673 yards and two touchdowns. On the other hand, Knox only brought in 22 receptions for 186 yards and two touchdowns on 36 targets. Kincaid was the target leader among the two tight ends and should continue moving forward.
Both tight ends playing this season but Knox will be more the inline blocker, while Kincaid will continue to play the move tight end. With Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis no longer on the team, Kincaid should inherit being Josh Allen’s number-one target this Fall. Fantasy managers should disregard Knox’s involvement with the first team and keep drafting Kincaid as the TE5 with his overall ADP of 54.5.
