The Buffalo Bills will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. 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 13?
Kincaid did not practice all week as he battles an ongoing knee injury. He was formally declared out on the final injury report and will not face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.
Kincaid went down just before halftime of the Bills’ Week 10 win over the Colts. While he initially returned to that game, he departed again after a few snaps. Kincaid didn’t practice leading up to Week 11 and then missed the Bills’ game against the Chiefs.
Buffalo had a bye in Week 12, so it’s worrisome that Kincaid still hasn’t made it back to practice. With Kincaid sidelined in Week 11, fellow Bills TE Dawson Knox posted his best game of the season, hauling in four catches for 40 yards while finishing as fantasy’s TE18.
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.
Dalton Kincaid’s Fantasy Outlook
A knee injury resulted in Dalton Kincaid missing the Week 11 win over the Chiefs, but with the bye week to rehab, the hope is that he will be on the field Sunday night.
Kincaid’s route tree has been opened up a bit this season (aDOT up 17.9% from his encouraging rookie season), but that has created a dip in efficiency that has submarined his value (one finish inside the top 10 this season).
- 2023: 80.2% catch rate
- 2024: 40.7% catch rate
Nick Bosa (hip/oblique) missed last week’s game against the Packers. If he were to sit out again, that would result in me shifting Kincaid up a few spots in my rankings. As it is, he’s a fringe TE1 more because of my faith in this offense than anything Kincaid has done to earn our trust (yet to clear 52 receiving yards in a game).
