Kincaid has a questionable status for Week 8 due to a current chest injury and has been limited in each practice session this week following the bye. If Kincaid cannot play, Dawson Knox would be the biggest beneficiary in terms of snaps and targets, though Jackson Hawes could also see increased opportunities. Kincaid is viewed as the tight end more likely to score a touchdown in Week 8, but his questionable status opens the door for other tight ends to get involved.

Before Buffalo's bye, Kincaid bounced back somewhat with his first game with at least double-digit PPR points since Week 2. He is the TE11 in fantasy points per game, largely off the strength of those opening two games of the season, with a 61.5% route share, a 17% target share, 2.56 YPRR, five red zone targets, three deep targets, and a 21.2% first-read share. However, the source warns the coverage structure isn't in his favor this week; Baltimore has the fifth-highest rate of two-high (62.4%), and against two-high, Kincaid's TPRR has fallen to 19% and his YPRR sits at 1.23. Across their last five games, Baltimore is 18th in yards per target allowed to tight ends while surrendering the fourth-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position. The source notes Kincaid has a wide range of outcomes this week.

Suffered chest/rib injury in game before bye week (landed on ball, took shot to rib area); returned to finish that game. Fowler reports he is 'pretty confident' he should play Week 8, but community is skeptical about full-game availability. Multiple managers hedging with streamers (Chigoziem Okonkwo, Hunter Henry, Evan Anderson) or pivoting entirely. In last game (before injury), heavily targeted with creative usage and redzone looks; had 18-yard TD called back and another long catch negated. Despite high involvement, consistently posts low fantasy points. Analysts rank him top-5 to top-10 TE ROS despite low recent involvement even with DJ Moore out; community questions why he ranks highe...

The source likes Buffalo's slot targets—Shakir and tight end Dalton Kincaid—this week against the interior of the Baltimore defense. Kincaid could be neutralized if the Ravens use safety Kyle Hamilton to cover him, which would open up opportunities for Shakir instead. Given Baltimore's strong run defense, the Bills are expected to attack via 11 personnel grouping more often, which should benefit Kincaid's target opportunities.

George Kd ranks Dalton Kincaid at seven. In his most recent game before the bye week, Kincaid's usage was better than his 10.8 PPR points suggest; his route participation was at a season high and he had a touchdown called back by penalty. With DJ Moore returning and the Ravens-Bills game total at 54.5 points, George Kd is giving Kincaid another chance, believing in his talent and that the offense is crying out for what he can do.

There isn't a TE with more variance than Kincaid for a million reasons; when smoothing things out, Kincaid is the TE11 on TE17 usage this season, which is eerily similar to where he finished in 2025. He's been better in games with D.J. Moore, though that's small sample noise. He is capable of lucking into touchdowns or creating an explosive in 1-on-1, but he is also only averaging 4.8 targets per game, making him a boom-bust TE1/2 in normal games.

Dalton Kincaid is TE11 in fantasy points per game with a 61.5% route share, 17% target share, 2.56 YPRR, five red zone targets, three deep targets, and 21.2% first-read share.

Baltimore is 18th in yards per target allowed to tight ends while surrendering the 4th-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position. Kincaid has a wide range of outcomes this week.

Kincaid is a compelling GPP stacking pick with Allen. In Week 6, he posted a 71.9% snap share, 61.1% route participation rate, 24.2% target share, 0.36 TPRR and a 36.4% first-read rate. Though he had only 2.50-yard aDOT and 38 receiving yards on seven receptions in that game, Kincaid has shown excellence on vertical usage. The Ravens have played zone at the eighth-highest rate (79.5% versus 73.3% league average) this season, and Kincaid has trashed zone for 0.27 TPRR and 3.35 Y/RR on 231 routes against it since last year. DJ Moore's return could open things up for the pass-catching tight end.
NegativeProjectionOct 29, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Ian Hartitz ranks Kincaid TE3 for Week 8 before the bye with a full-time role and strong recent performance: 7 catches on 8 targets including an 18-yard touchdown nullified by holding penalty. Kincaid plays in a great offense led by Josh Allen (described as the best quarterback alive right now) and faces a Bills-Ravens matchup with a 54.5-point game total suggesting a potential shootout environment. Despite facing Washington defense in another matchup context, Hartitz notes Kincaid and Brevin Jordan are big enough pieces of the passing game that he's not worried about the matchup, though he's chasing Jake Ferguson and to a lesser extent Mike Gesicki in similar tier situations.
