Dalton Kincaid

It’s time for the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs. It also means the latest in injury news to report before the teams release before gametime.

• Today, the No. 6 seed Buffalo Bills head to Mile High Stadium to face the top-seeded Denver Broncos. Josh Allen has many bumps and bruises ailing him, but he will be “full go” for the matchup, absent receivers Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers, who landed on the injured reserve last week, ending their season for an already-depleted wide receiver corps.
• Good news in that department came in the form of Curtis Samuel being activated from the list. He is active for the game and will jump right in as a weapon for Allen.
• Tight end Dalton Kincaid was limited all week (knee, calf) but has been playing through the injury of late. He will do so again on Saturday.
• Placekicker Matt Prater is good to go; it appears his quad injury is completely behind him.
• Running Back Ty Johnson (ankle) was only able to practice once this week, and on a limited basis. Expected to be the Bills’ No. 2 RB over Ray Davis. Johnson is officially out.
• The Denver Broncos have no notable injuries on the offensive side after a week of rest.

• The No. 6-seeded San Francisco 49ers will have to take on their rivals in Seattle without tight end George Kittle against the Seahawks.
• Wide receiver Jacob Cowing (IR) will not be activated before the game.
• Wideout Ricky Pearsall (PCL) is questionable and will be a game-time decision. Pearsall himself admitted a lack of explosiveness thanks to the injury but hopes to be on the field. Kyle Shanahan relayed that if he can play, there will be no snap count restrictions whatsoever.
• Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, already battling a quad injury, aggravated the injury in practice and was forced to cut the session short. Darnold maintains that he is “fine” and is “looking forward to being out there.” Seattle’s backup quarterback is Drew Lock.
• Wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba missed practice on consecutive days this week, but neither absence was injury-related.

Dalton Kincaid is set to miss his second straight game when the Buffalo Bills take on the Houston Texans on Thursday night. Kincaid injured his hamstring in week 10, giving Dawson Knox and rookie Jackson Hawes more opportunities. The Bills also ruled out Curtis Samuel and Mecole Hardman Jr., while Khalil Shakir doesn’t have an injury designation.

With Kincaid on the sideline Knox had one catch for 23 yards and Hawes didn’t receive a single target. Josh Allen threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns but Knox and Hawes contributed very little.

The Bills spread the ball around to all their pass catchers, 10 players had a target in week 11, so it’ll be difficult to predict which pass catcher will produce week to week. Knox and Hawes are best left on the bench unless you’re desperate.

Fantasy relevant players ruled out Sunday include Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Joe Burrow, Samaje Perine, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, Dalton Kincaid, Jaxson Dart, Darius Slayton, C.J. Stroud, Brenton Strange, Marvin Harrison, Tory Horton, Isiah Pacheco, J.K. Dobbins, Rashod Bateman, Justice Hill, and Sam LaPorta.

Per Adam Schefter

In Thursday night’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins, Dalton Kincaid scored another touchdown and led the way for the Bills’ pass catchers. This is the second touchdown of the season for Kincaid, who looks more comfortable with quarterback Josh Allen.

The question for the Buffalo Bills, since Stefon Diggs left the team, has been who is going to take a step forward and be the number one option for Allen. While Kincaid is averaging just over a 50% snap share, he seems to be making the most of his opportunities, with 13 catches, 151 yards and two touchdowns on the year. He has become a viable tight end option for fantasy managers. The Bills start the season with a 3-0 record and will take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 4.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid are expected to practice in full leading up to the Bill’s much-anticipated showdown with the Detroit Lions, according to Ian Rapoport. Coleman has missed the past four games due to a wrist ailment, while Kincaid has been sidelined since Week 10 with a knee injury.

While Coleman’s return figures to slightly downgrade the prospects of Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, and Mack Hollins, among others, the rookie boosts quarterback Josh Allen’s fantasy upside even further as a lethal deep threat in Joe Brady’s offense. Meanwhile, Kincaid should operate as the team’s top tight end once again, making Dawson Knox expendable in all formats.
