The Buffalo Bills will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. 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 14?
Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) was limited throughout the week and is questionable for Sunday’s game.
He hadn’t practiced at all since injuring his knee in Week 10, so participating in sessions this week — even on a limited basis — was a step in the right direction.
To recap, Kincaid did not practice leading up to Week 11. The Bills had a bye in Week 12, but Kincaid still couldn’t make it back to practice to prepare for Week 13. Fill-in Buffalo TE Dawson Knox has gone 4-40 and 2-56 as Kincaid’s replacement, finishing as fantasy’s TE18 and TE26.
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 14?
Kincaid has missed consecutive games with a knee injury. Given the lack of previous production, it’s hard to go back to Buffalo’s tight end until we get proof of full health.
His struggles through two months have lost Kincaid the benefit of the doubt that a strong rookie campaign earned him. This year, he’s yet to reach 55 yards a single time and only has two scores on his ledger despite the potency of this offense,
In theory, I still like the idea of Kincaid and what he offers to this team, but we’ve yet to see him thrive in 2024, and the role is at risk as the receivers trend toward full strength. I’m an optimist at heart and am holding, but I don’t see an avenue to playing him with confidence this weekend, even with six teams on a bye.
