The Buffalo Bills have ruled out tight end Dalton Kincaid for their Thursday night matchup against the Houston Texans.
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.

Buffalo Bills Tight End Dalton Kincaid scores his second touchdown of the season in a win versus the Miami Dolphins
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.

After missing several weeks due to injury, the Bills’ duo will be back just in time for a showdown with Detroit.
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.
The Bills rookie wide receiver has risen up significantly on UnderDog from the Pre-NFL draft process to now.
Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman has risen up draft boards significantly since the Pre-NFL Draft to today. Of note, Keon Coleman has moved up 60.9 spots from round 12 on UnderDog to round 7.
There is largely a bearish sentiment on Keon Coleman due to his inability to create separation ala Stefon Diggs. Psychologically, there is a difficulty reconciling Keon Coleman not being Stefon Diggs while having the issue of not offering the agility in route running his predecessor provided.
Josh Allen’s career took off once he had Stefon Diggs in town. The concern isn’t whether or not Josh Allen can thrive, rather if Keon Coleman can garner enough attention in the Bills offense to draw significant enough target share to warrant being selected in round 7. Tight end Dalton Kincaid goes in round 5 and is being hyped as the focal point in the Bills offense in the same vein as Travis Kelce is used on the Chiefs.
With the concern of Dalton Kincaid being the alpha target hog in the Bills offense, Coleman also has to deal with Curtis Samuel having an edge in experience having worked with offensive coordinator Joe Brady prior. Add in the Bills expected proclivity to run the ball more with James Cook and Josh Allen calling his own number, keeping a level headed approach when selecting Keon Coleman in drafts will prove wise. Incorporate a low 4-8% requisite exposure or fade all together, but don’t get caught with heavy bags on the Bills rookie wideout.
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.
