Should You Start or Sit Kincaid in Week 15?
I was a little hesitant last week with how reports around Dalton Kincaid were being phrased.
He had missed three straight games with the hamstring injury, and the wording was “plans to try to play” and things along those lines for a snow game against the Bengals. We
Buffalo TE Snap Data, Week 14
- Kincaid: 18 routes, 5 targets, 33.3% snap share
- Dawson Knox: 14 routes, 7 targets, 46.7% snap share
At some level, we did see him capped, but I thought he looked great and can be counted on this week.
Dawson Knox actually handled Josh Allen’s first pass last week (32-yard gain) and went on to lead the team across the board with six catches on seven targets for 93 yards. Some may view that as competition for Kincaid, but I’m choosing to see it as the position being prioritized at a high rate.
Knox hasn’t been much of a factor this season when Kincaid has been healthy and I don’t think we are going to see TE-TE-RB as Buffalo’s three leading receivers in “normal” weather conditions. The fact that Allen was willing to take what was given to him like that, however, provides me with confidence that Kincaid, barring any sort of setback in practice, can be rolled out as a viable TE1 in all formats this weekend.
His touchdown last week came on an option route where both he and Allen saw the same thing. Communication like that and the lack of consistency at the WR position should make you feel good about where things stand for Kincaid.
