Dalton Kincaid’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He was added to Buffalo’s injury report with a chest issue the week of Nov. 2, carried a Questionable tag through midweek, then was cleared off the report entirely by Friday’s Week 9 report. Hamstring, oblique and knee issues interrupted his 2025 season, when he missed Weeks 11-12 with the hamstring.
Through the first two games of 2026 he caught 12 of 14 targets for 225 yards and a touchdown, per Pro Football Reference. PFF charted a 71.1% route participation rate in the Week 2 win over Detroit, even though Dawson Knox played more snaps in Joe Brady’s multi-tight end sets.
Fantasy Action: Treat Kincaid as a top-tier fantasy tight end. Knox absorbs the blocking snaps, but Kincaid runs the routes and earns the targets, and his share grows whenever Buffalo’s receivers are banged up.
