The Buffalo Bills will face the New England Patriots in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE Dalton Kincaid.
Is Dalton Kincaid Playing in Week 16?
Last week, Kincaid returned after a multi-game absence due to knee issue. The injury remains listed on the Bills’ practice report, but Kincaid is participating in full. He will play on Sunday.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bills’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Dalton Kincaid in Week 16?
There are two types of people in this world, and the Kincaid situation separates them.
In his return from a Week 10 knee injury, Kincaid was targeted on 31.8% of his routes and wasn’t put in the trenches a single time. He made a highlight-reel, over-the-shoulder grab that reminded us all of what we saw from him a season ago.
A compromised Kincaid was on the field for 47.1% of Buffalo’s snaps last week, a rate that paled in comparison to Dawson Knox’s 73.5% snap share. Josh Allen completed just 57.1% of his passes directed at his recovering tight end, the lone thing the MVP front-runner struggled to do at a high rate on Sunday (76% completion rate to all other teammates).
Both of those paragraphs are 100% accurate. How did you read Kincaid’s Week 15?
I’m forever an optimist, and that has me trending toward the first one. There are plenty of moving pieces from a health perspective in this offense, but if I go down because I trusted a player tethered to this version of Allen, I can live with it. Kincaid currently sits as my TE10 for Week 16.
