The Buffalo Bills announced that WR DJ Moore (shoulder) has been ruled OUT after leaving the Week 2 contest against the Lions early. Moore landed hard on his shoulder late in the first half vs. the Lions while attempting to make a diving catch in the end zone.
There is early speculation that the injury could be a collarbone or AC joint injury, but it’s far too early to be sure what the injury is or how long he might miss. Hopefully it isn’t anything serious, as Moore had a strong debut with the Bills last week vs. the Texans, putting up a line of 5 catches, 100 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy football managers will need to keep an eye on updates from the Bills.

Khalil Shakir remains sidelined with an undisclosed injury, creating legitimate concern for fantasy managers entering draft week. Do not panic and completely fade a technician who posted a 52.4-percent Route Win Rate (WR10) and generated 2.12 yards of Target Separation (WR7) as Josh Allen‘s high-efficiency safety valve.
We’ll monitor the practice reports. While Shakir has a high-floor profile, D.J. Moore and Dalton Kincaid would be the primary beneficiaries if Shakir misses Week 1.
Dalton Kincaid is trending toward an expanded role in Buffalo, with his health, summer usage and physicality all pointing in the right direction after knee issues disrupted the past two seasons. Kincaid has been a full participant throughout camp and is blocking with more force, a development that could unlock a higher snap rate even with Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes healthy.
PlayerProfiler’s TE10 profile shows Kincaid already posted 73 receptions for 673 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2023, proving the target earning ability is there when he is on the field. Kincaid does not need 75% of the snaps to pay off, if the expanded usage sticks, he is a locked in TE1 with room to climb.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is bypassing PCL surgery to focus on building a rock-solid structural base, aiming to erase the hamstring compensations that plagued his 2025 season.
Despite an injury-ravaged campaign, Kincaid still flashed elite underlying metrics, posting a position-leading 3.02 Yards Per Route Run and a 25.9-percent Target Rate (No. 1 among qualified tight ends). If he avoids a pitch count this summer, his structural ceiling elevates him from a fringe fantasy asset right back into the mid-TE1 tier where his 94th-percentile College Dominator Rating belongs.
Dalton Kincaid is playing a dangerous game trying to out-tough a torn PCL without surgery, a red flag for an archetype that requires elite twitch and separation to win. When the organization is already talking “pain tolerance” and “practice management” in April, the fragility levels are screaming that this is a high-maintenance fantasy football asset.
A former first round pick, Kincaid remains a fringe TE1 based on target volume alone, but he is quickly becoming a high-risk, low ceiling placeholder tight end. Kincaid is a classic sell low candidate in dynasty leagues.
Dalton Kincaid suffered the original injury in week 10 of the 2024 season against the Indianapolis Colts. Kincaid didn’t have surgery instead opted for rehab in the offseason and started the season on time.
He reinjured it multiple times throughout the 2025 season missing games and parts of games several times. Considering how long this injury has lingered it’s fair to wonder if Kincaid and the Bills will opt for surgery to completely correct the issue.
Kincaid was one of the more productive tight ends when he was on the field this year, the problem is that ran a route on 253 of 679 quarterback drop backs. His 2.70 yards per route run did lead all tight ends.
