Fantasy analysts project a larger role for Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid

Summary

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid enters the 2026 season with an average draft position of 121, despite concerns regarding his target volume. The former first-round draft pick recorded 571 receiving yards and five touchdowns during a 2025 campaign shortened to 12 games by a torn PCL. While he demonstrated high efficiency, he has yet to achieve a 700-yard season in his four-year career. Kincaid is currently working through a broken right pinky but is expected to be available for action. He remains a central part of the offense led by quarterback Josh Allen, competing for targets alongside receivers including DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir. Analysts note that his potential for a breakout season depends on his ability to secure more catches and targets within the Buffalo passing attack.

What they're saying

"
The Buffalo Bills have Josh Allen, and that means they have a chance in any game. In a weird way, however, it hasn’t assured us of fantasy football goodness for any of his pass catchers.
