DALTON KINCAID NEWS

One catch in divisional-round win Kincaid caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-25 AFC divisional-round win over the Ravens.

Impact Kincaid continues to post modest numbers, though he was hardly the only player to struggle in the passing game for the Bills in this one, as only Khalil Shakir (67) exceeded 15 receiving yards. The talented tight end could be more involved in the AFC Championship Game against a Chiefs defense that allowed the most receiving yards in the league to the position in the regular season.

Three catches in wild-card win Kincaid played 29 of the Bills' 76 offensive snaps and finished with three catches for 47 yards on three targets in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card win over the Broncos.

Impact After being active but not playing in the Bills' Week 18 loss to the Patriots while Buffalo was locked into the AFC's No. 2 seed, Kincaid was back in action for the playoff opener, but he once again played second fiddle at tight end to Dawson Knox. For the fourth consecutive game in which both tight ends saw action, Knox outpaced Kincaid in playing time, taking the field for 46 snaps. While Kincaid brings more speed at the position and offers a more diverse route tree, Knox is the more trusted blocker and isn't a total zero as a receiver, as he caught two passes for 38 yards against Denver and finished the regular season with a 22-311-1 line on 33 targets over 16 games. As such, Knox looks as though he could continue to play ahead of Kincaid when the Bills host the Ravens in the divisional round next Sunday.

Sits out Week 18 Kincaid did not play during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.

Impact The Bills held out a number of key starters during Sunday's regular-season finale, including Kincaid and quarterback Josh Allen, with the No. 2 seed in the AFC already secured. Since his return from injury Week 15, Kincaid's playing time has hovered below 50 percent of offseason snaps, so additional rest could help him handle an increased role during Sunday's wild-card round game against the Broncos. Across 13 regular-season appearances in Year 2, Kincaid secured 44 of 75 targets for 448 yards and two touchdowns.

Just two catches in Week 17 Kincaid caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.

Impact Kincaid finished sixth on the team in receiving yards as Josh Allen spread the ball around in the lopsided win. The talented tight end hasn't been much of a factor for a while, having exceeded 32 yards only once since Week 7. His next chance to snap this slump likely won't come until the playoffs, as the Bills' starters should play sparingly or not at all in Week 18 against the Patriots.

Does little with seven targets Kincaid recorded four receptions for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.

Impact Despite winning, the entire Buffalo passing attack struggled against the Patriots. Kincaid was no exception, though there were positives to take away from his usage, despite the disastrous stat line. Notably, he led the team with seven targets, and now has hit that mark in both of his games since returning from a knee injury.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four catches in return Kincaid secured four of seven targets for 53 yards in the Bills' 48-42 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Making his return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury, Kincaid finished third in receptions and receiving yards while sharing the team lead in targets. Kincaid's yardage tally was actually a new season high, and he's posted a trio of four-reception tallies in his last four games dating back to Week 8.

Bills Make Final Decision That Dalton Kincaid Will Play in Week 15 vs Lions Dalton Kincaid is expected to play in the Buffalo Bills’ marquee matchup with the Detroit Lions.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • KANSASCITY.COM

Active versus Detroit Kincaid (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact Kincaid, who has missed the Bills' last three games, was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through and Thursday's practice estimate, as well as Friday's session. With Kincaid deemed available versus Detroit, the tight end should step back into a key role in Buffalo's passing game in Week 15, barring any limitations or in-game setbacks. Prior to sustaining his knee injury, Kincaid had recorded a 34/356/2 receiving line on 59 targets over the course of 10 games.

Questionable for Sunday Head coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Kincaid (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Kincaid, who has missed the Bills' last three games, was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through, as well as Thursday's practice estimate and will work Friday in some capacity. If he's made available versus Detroit, the tight end -- who has compiled a 34/356/2 receiving line on 59 targets in 10 games -- would have a chance to step back into a key role in Buffalo's passing game. However, given his looming 'questionable' designation, confirmation of Kincaid's Week 15 status won't arrive until inactives are posted ahead of Buffalo's 4:25 ET kickoff.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as full participant Kincaid (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Impact The decision to list Kincaid as a full participant -- even in a low-intensity practice -- suggests he's expected to return from a three-game absence for Sunday's game in Detroit. He'll likely be back in his regular role as the starting tight end and top pass catcher at the position, but it might come with fewer targets than he saw earlier this season, as the Bills' WR group has come on strong recently and now gets Keon Coleman back from a wrist injury.

Won't play Sunday Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Kincaid, who last played in Week 10, was deemed questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday. With the 2023 first-rounder sidelined once again Sunday, Dawson Knox is on track to continue see added opportunities as the Bills' top pass-catching tight end option, while Zach Davidson is on hand to provide depth at the position in Week 14.

Not expected to play Sunday Kincaid (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, is not expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Kincaid, who last suited up for game action in Week 10, was able practice all week but on a limited basis. Despite this report his status won't be officially known until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Kincaid is inactive this weekend, Dawson Knox again would handle most of the TE reps for the Bills.

May return to action Sunday Kincaid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams.

Impact Kincaid made an early exit Week 10 at Indianapolis due to a knee injury and wasn't able to practice until this week, when he strung together three consecutive limited sessions. He thus has a chance to end his absence at two games, something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Kincaid is inhibited or inactive this weekend, Dawson Knox again would handle most of the TE reps for the Bills.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited practice Thursday Kincaid (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Kincaid, who last suited up for game action in Week 10, was also deemed limited in Wednesday's walk-through. With that in mind, the tight end will likely have to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Rams without an injury designation. If Kincaid remains out this weekend, however, Dawson Knox would be in line to continue to see added opportunities as the Bills' top pass-catching TE option.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

To be limited in walk-through Head coach Sean McDermott noted that Kincaid (knee) will be listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Kincaid, who last saw game action in Week 10, didn't practice last week, so his looming limited listing is a step in the right direction. The tight end will thus have two more opportunities to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, but if he remains out or is limited at all this weekend, Dawson Knox would be in line to see added Week 14 opportunities.
