  • Another limited practice

    Kincaid (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: As did fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee), which gives the duo one more chance to work fully before the Bills assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. Kincaid was inactive in Week 17, and giving that he's still limited by his knee issue, it's plausible that the Bills could elect to err on the side of caution with him this weekend, will the NFL postseason looming.

  • Limited in practice

    Kincaid (knee) was officially listed as a limited practice participant in Wednesday's walk-through.

    Analysis: Kincaid missed Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles after managing just one limited practice last week. It looks like he'll do more this week, but the Bills may lean toward caution now that they're locked into a wild-card spot.

    Kincaid (knee) will be listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The same goes for fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee). Kincaid was inactive for the Bills' 13-12 loss to the Eagles in Week 17, and at this stage it's plausible that the team could elect to err on the side of caution with their top tight end in Week 18, with Kincaid still managing his knee issue ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. Per Alec White of the team's official site, the Bills are currently the No. 7 playoff seed in the AFC and are still in play to be the No. 5 or No. 6…read more

  • Inactive Sunday

    Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Kincaid was listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed limited Friday and questionable to face Philadelphia. Now that he's been made inactive, Dawson Knox will have an opportunity to lead the Bills' Week 17 TE corps, with Jackson Hawes and Keleki Latu also in the mix. Kincaid will thus target a return to action in Week 18 versus the Jets.

    Kincaid (knee) was limited in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Kincaid was listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's encouraging that he was able to upgrade to at least some reps Friday. Fellow tight end Dawson Knox (knee) also is listed as questionable after having logged identical practice activity during Week 17 prep. The statuses of both players will be made official roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Kincaid (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Kincaid also was listed as a 'DNP' in Wednesday's walkthrough, which goes for fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee). Friday's final injury report thus will be telling with regard to the duo's chances of playing Sunday against the Eagles, but it's worth noting that last week Kincaid was also deemed a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday before working fully Friday and heading into Week 16 action minus an injury designation.

  • DNP in Wednesday walk-through

    Kincaid (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

    Analysis: The same applies to fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee), though it's possible that both of their DNPs were maintenance-related. Kincaid -- who has been managing a knee issue -- was also deemed a non-participant both last Wednesday and Thursday before working fully Friday and approaching Week 16 action without an injury designation. A repeat of that pattern is plausible ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

  • Blanked in Week 16 win

    Kincaid failed to bring in his only target in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: One of Josh Allen's top targets was nowhere to be found Sunday, although Kincaid's first blanking of the season came on a day when Allen threw for only 130 yards. Given his typical importance to the air attack, Kincaid's a good bet to bounce back in a Week 17 home matchup against the Eagles.

    Kincaid (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

    Analysis: After opening Week 16 prep with no on-field work Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury, Kincaid was able to practice without limitations Friday, setting him up to be available to the Bills offense this weekend. In his 10 appearances this season, he's hauled in 36 of 45 targets for 523 yards and five touchdowns, making him a reliable TE option for fantasy purposes when he's available.

    Analysis: Kincaid didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that the tight end didn't experience a setback with his knee. Instead, it's an issue the team is managing ahead of Week 16 action. The Bills' upcoming injury report will reveal Kincaid's game status for Sunday's game against the Browns, but Getzenberg suggests that he's trending toward being available this weekend.

    Kincaid (knee) isn't practicing Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kincaid was also deemed a non-participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice, so what he's able to do Friday will loom large in determining his status for Sunday's game against the Browns. If Kincaid isn't available this weekend, Dawson Knox would likely be in line for elevated snaps as the Bills' clear top tight end.

  • Listed as DNP on Wednesday

    Kincaid (knee) is listed as a non-participant after Wednesday's walk-through practice.

    Analysis: Kincaid wasn't on the injury report last week, and there was no report of an issue during/after Sunday's 35-31 win over New England. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the situation, but it is possible Wednesday's absence is indicative of maintenance more so than real concern about missing time.

  • Modest numbers in win

    Kincaid secured three of four targets for 34 yards in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kincaid and fellow tight end Dawson Knox finished with the same number of catches, but the latter was on the receiving end of two Josh Allen touchdown passes. Kincaid has posted a 7-75-1 line on nine targets in two games since returning from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, affording him modest fantasy value heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Browns next Sunday.

    Kincaid caught four of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: After missing the prior three games with hamstring and knee issues, Kincaid made an immediate impact in his return to action, hauling in a five-yard TD in the third quarter. Josh Allen leaned heavily on all his tight ends given the cold, snowy conditions -- Dawson Knox led the Bills with six catches and 93 receiving yards, while No. 3 TE Jackson Hawes also caught a touchdown.

With his return to Buffalo's lineup confirmed, Kincaid will have an opportunity to reclaim his status as his team's top pass-catching tight end, a role that has resulted in him logging a 29/448/4 receiving line on 36 targets through the eight contests he's suited up for, a level of production that keeps the 2023 first-rounder on the…read more

    Analysis: Kincaid's hamstring injury kept him out of action for Buffalo's past three games. He dealt with an additional injury to his knee this week, but the third-year tight end managed a trio of limited practices. It sounds like he'll try to give it a go Sunday, though his official status probably won't be solidified until after he begins his pregame routine and and until the Bills release their list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

A knee injury was added to the practice report this week, and he even was seen sporting a knee brace on his left leg at Thursday's session, per Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard. McDermott also noted Friday that he wants to see Kincaid be "functional" in the Bills' final Week 14 practice in order to clear him to return, so his activity level Friday likely will be key in that regard.

In his continued absence, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes will handle the Bills' Week 13 tight-end duties, a context that resulted in Knox catching three of his four targets for 17 yards and Hawes hauling in both of his targets in the team's 23-19 loss to the Texans on Nov. 20.

While Kincaid sat out the Bills' Week 11 win over the Buccaneers, Dawson Knox operated as the clear top tight end, logging 77 percent of the offensive snaps and recording one catch for 23 yards on three targets. Jackson Hawes served as the No. 2 option at the position, playing 34 percent of the snaps without drawing a target.

That bodes poorly for the starting tight end's odds of gaining clearance in time for Thursday's road matchup against the Texans, especially given that he's been labeled "week-to-week" and has missed only one contest so far.

    Analysis: Making his return from a one-game absence that predated the Week 7 bye, Kincaid made a splash on his one catch but otherwise was quiet. The third-year tight end had posted a 108-yard performance against the Patriots in Week 5 before sitting out Week 6, but he's now recorded 48 receiving yards or less in four of his other five games heading into a Week 9 clash with the Chiefs at home next Sunday afternoon.

    Analysis: After sitting out a Week 6 loss to the Falcons before the Bills went on bye Week 7, Kincaid looks ready to give it a go Sunday following three limited practices this week. The 2023 first-round pick should continue to fill his usual role as the Bills' top pass-catching tight end, though he's unlikely to dominate the snaps at the position since Buffalo remains keen on keeping Dawson Knox involved due to his blocking prowess.

    Kincaid recorded six receptions on six targets for 108 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Buffalo's offense looked out of sync for much of the game, but Kincaid was a bright spot. He recorded the first 100-yard receiving performance of his career in both regular-season and postseason contests, powered by a very efficient effort on six targets. Kincaid caught three passes of at least 20 yards, matching his total from the first four games of the season. Kincaid has also earned exactly six targets in three of his last four games, making him reliably involved in one of the most…read more

  • Scores long TD in win

    Kincaid secured one of two targets for a 28-yard touchdown in the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kincaid made his one catch count by streaking down the right sideline for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. The reception and receiving yardage totals were both low-water marks for the tight end over the first four weeks, but with three touchdowns already on his 2025 ledger, he's still rewarded fantasy managers despite the relative week-to-week uncertainty inherent in the Bills' air attack. Kincaid next sets his sights on the Patriots' defense, which he'll face in a Week 5 home…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in Week 3 win

    Kincaid secured five of six targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Kincaid led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, rounding out his productive performance with a 20-yard outstretched touchdown grab in the first quarter that answered Miami's early score. The athletic tight end has arguably been Buffalo's most consistent game-to-game pass catcher for fantasy purposes through the first three games, as he'll take a 13-151-2 line on 16 targets into a Week 4 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 28.

  • Another four-catch outing

    Kincaid caught four of six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Kincaid led the Bills in targets and receiving yards as the passing attack took a back seat to the running game, which produced 224 yards and three touchdowns. The 2023 first-round pick has opened his third NFL campaign with a pair of four-catch performances and should remain involved in Thursday's Week 3 home game against the Dolphins.

  • Gets scoring started in wild win

    Kincaid caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Kincaid scored a 15-yard touchdown on the opening drive but was relatively quiet the rest of the way, especially considering Josh Allen ultimately threw for 394 yards. This was nonetheless an encouraging performance from Kincaid, who had only two regular-season touchdowns apiece in the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. Dawson Knox had two catches for 20 yards and rookie fifth-round pick Jackson Hawes also had a 29-yard catch, but Kincaid clearly looks like the top receiving option among Buffalo's tight…read more

  • Unlikely to be full-time player

    Kincaid isn't expected to see an expanded role in 2025 compared to what he handled last season, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: When both Kincaid and fellow tight end Dalton Knox were healthy last season, the former played 66 percent of the offensive snaps, and the latter took on a 56 percent share. Based on his observations during training camp and the preseason, Buscaglia notes that because Kincaid "still has his hangups as a blocker," the 25-year-old's playing time isn't expected to dramatically exceed the 66 percent mark from 2024, at least not in the early part of the season. Though Kincaid is fully healthy again…read more

  • Sees limited work Saturday

    Kincaid caught his only target for 10 yards in Saturday's 34-25 preseason loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The third-year tight end hauled in a Mitchell Trubisky pass on Buffalo's first drive and quickly checked out of the game after that, with Dawson Knox instead catching a red-zone TD pass from Trubisky in the second quarter. Kincaid is locked into the top spot on the depth chart, but his first task in 2025 is just to stay on the field. Knee injuries limited him to 13 regular-season games last season. which resulted in 44 catches for 448 yards and two touchdowns on 75 targets, a big step back in…read more

    Kincaid (knee) is participating in Tuesday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Kincaid sat out practice Monday due to knee soreness, but he's back on the field Tuesday. The third-year tight end has bulked up for the 2025 season, and there are no indications that the soreness he dealt with is anything more than minor.

    Kincaid missed Monday's practice due to knee soreness, Alex Brasky of Bills Digest reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear if the injury is to the same knee that Kincaid had problems with last season, when he missed Weeks 11-14. Whatever the case, there's no indication for now that he's dealing with a serious issue.

  • Adds strength ahead of third season

    Kincaid has "added both strength and bulk" during the offseason, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kincaid dealt with knee injuries last year, causing him to miss three regular-season games and to log lower snap counts following his Week 15 return. Bills GM Brandon Beane attributed the talented tight end's lessened statistics -- he went from a 73-673-2 receiving line in the regular season as a rookie to a 44-448-2 line as a sophomore -- to the knee issues, saying Kincaid's campaign was "really more of an injury thing and nothing more than that."

  • Prolific drop in AFCCG

    Kincaid secured two of four targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Kincaid's quiet AFCCG performance will be most notably remembered for his drop with just under two minutes left in the fourth quarter, a fourth-and-five play in which Josh Allen found the second-year tight end open downfield, but saw the ball lodge free of his pass-catcher's hands while attempting a diving grab. The admittedly difficult catch highlights disappointment surrounding Kincaid's production Year 2, in which he strung together just a 44-448-2 receiving line across 13 regular-season…read more

  • One catch in divisional-round win

    Kincaid caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-25 AFC divisional-round win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Kincaid continues to post modest numbers, though he was hardly the only player to struggle in the passing game for the Bills in this one, as only Khalil Shakir (67) exceeded 15 receiving yards. The talented tight end could be more involved in the AFC Championship Game against a Chiefs defense that allowed the most receiving yards in the league to the position in the regular season.

  • Three catches in wild-card win

    Kincaid played 29 of the Bills' 76 offensive snaps and finished with three catches for 47 yards on three targets in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: After being active but not playing in the Bills' Week 18 loss to the Patriots while Buffalo was locked into the AFC's No. 2 seed, Kincaid was back in action for the playoff opener, but he once again played second fiddle at tight end to Dawson Knox. For the fourth consecutive game in which both tight ends saw action, Knox outpaced Kincaid in playing time, taking the field for 46 snaps. While Kincaid brings more speed at the position and offers a more diverse route tree, Knox is the more trusted…read more

  • Sits out Week 18

    Kincaid didn't play any snaps during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Though Kincaid wasn't inactive for the regular-season finale, the Bills ended up holding out the second-year tight end and a number of other key players since they had already secured the AFC's No. 2 seed heading into the day. Since his return from injury Week 15, Kincaid's playing time has hovered below 50 percent of offensive snaps over his last three appearances, so additional rest could leave him ready to handle an increased role in Sunday's wild-card round game against the Broncos.

  • Just two catches in Week 17

    Kincaid caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Kincaid finished sixth on the team in receiving yards as Josh Allen spread the ball around in the lopsided win. The talented tight end hasn't been much of a factor for a while, having exceeded 32 yards only once since Week 7. His next chance to snap this slump likely won't come until the playoffs, as the Bills' starters should play sparingly or not at all in Week 18 against the Patriots.

  • Does little with seven targets

    Kincaid recorded four receptions on seven targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Despite winning, the entire Buffalo passing attack struggled against the Patriots. Kincaid was no exception, though there were positives to take away from his usage, despite the disastrous stat line. Notably, he led the team with seven targets and now has hit that mark in both of his games since returning from a knee injury.

    Kincaid secured four of seven targets for 53 yards in the Bills' 48-42 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Making his return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury, Kincaid finished third in receptions and receiving yards while sharing the team lead in targets. Kincaid's yardage tally was actually a new season high, and he's posted a trio of four-reception efforts in his last four games dating back to Week 8.

    Analysis: Kincaid, who has missed the Bills' last three games, was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice estimate, as well as Friday's session. With Kincaid deemed available versus Detroit, the tight end should step back into a key role in Buffalo's passing game in Week 15, barring any limitations or in-game setbacks. Prior to sustaining his knee injury, Kincaid had recorded a 34/356/2 receiving line on 59 targets over the course of 10 games.

If he's available versus Detroit, the tight end likely would step back into a key role in Buffalo's passing game. However, given his looming questionable designation, confirmation of Kincaid's Week 15 status won't arrive until inactives are posted ahead of Buffalo's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

He'll likely be back in his regular role as the starting tight end and top pass catcher at the position, but it might come with fewer targets than he saw earlier this season.

He apparently didn't demonstrate enough progress in his recovery from the knee injury to get the green light to play, though his status won't be confirmed until the Bills release their inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Analysis: Kincaid made an early exit Week 10 at Indianapolis due to a knee injury and wasn't able to practice until this week, when he strung together three consecutive limited sessions. He thus has a chance to end his absence at two games, something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

"Thought I could go and just didn't feel good enough to run and be able to go out there and protect myself," the tight end, when asked about his brief return to the game.

    Analysis: Kincaid, who finished up the game with two catches on five targets for 24 yards, will likely get his knee checked out during the upcoming week.

    Analysis: Kincaid set a new high-water mark in both receptions and single-game yardage this season in Monday's tight win. The sophomore tight end had a better fantasy performance when he caught his lone touchdown of the season Week 3 against the Jaguars.

  • Two catches in Week 5 loss

    Kincaid caught two of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Houston.

    Analysis: Kincaid tied Mack Hollins for the team lead in both catches and targets as the Bills played without leading pass catcher Khalil Shakir (ankle). This subpar performance can be chalked up to a rare off day from Josh Allen, who completed only nine passes, but it continued a larger trend of disappointment for Kincaid, who has yet to reach the 50-yard threshold in a game heading into a Week 6 MNF clash against the AFC East rival Jets.

  • Seven targets in Week 4 loss

    Kincaid caught five of seven targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Kincaid continued the trend of increasing his target and receiving yard totals in every game this season, topping his respective Week 3 marks of five and 41. He's still searching for the first 50-yard performance of his sophomore season after topping that mark in six of his last 11 regular-season games as a rookie. Kincaid will try to finally reach that threshold in Week 5 against the Texans.

  • Scores TD as volume ticks up

    Kincaid caught three of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Kincaid scored a six-yard touchdown in the first quarter on the first of Josh Allen's four first-half touchdown passes. Allen has been spreading the ball around, and no player had more than six targets for Buffalo on Monday, but Kincaid's volume has been steadily increasing. The 2023 first-round draft pick had just two targets Week 1 and four Week 2 before setting another season high with five. Kincaid will look to continue that trend when the Bills travel to Baltimore for Sunday Night Football…read more

  • Four grabs in Week 2 win

    Kincaid secured all four targets for 33 yards in the Bills' 31-10 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Kincaid had surprisingly been held to just one reception in the season-opening win against the Cardinals, and Josh Allen appeared intent on getting his second-year tight end involved early Thursday. Kincaid was on the receiving end of Allen's first two pass attempts, which totaled 17 yards. Kincaid still finished with a modest line overall, but he did have the second-most receptions and targets on the night for the Bills while also tying Ty Johnson for second-most receiving yards.

  • Just one catch Week 1

    Kincaid caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Kincaid was expected to take on a larger role in Buffalo's passing game after the team traded away top receiver Stefon Diggs in the offseason, but the tight end was quiet to begin his second NFL season. Fellow tight end Dawson Knox also got two targets, catching one for 23 yards. Buffalo had 33 running plays compared to just 23 throws for Josh Allen, so a lack of volume could be a concern for Kincaid moving forward if he continues to split opportunities with Knox and the Bills keep calling a…read more

  • Prospects strong for 2024

    Kincaid's depth of target increased from six yards to nine yards after offensive coordinator Joe Brady took over for Ken Dorsey during the second half of the 2023 season, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Kincaid also averaged 14.5 yards per catch during the Bills' final two regular-season games and two postseason games.

    Analysis: Even though he's entering just his second season, Kincaid may be Buffalo's best weapon in the receiving game, given that Khalil Shakir is the only wide receiver that's ever caught a regular-season pass from Josh Allen. Kincaid is coming off a 73-673-2 receiving line over 16 regular-season games in 2023, and he's a player to target in fantasy drafts after the top three or four tight ends are off the board.

  • Rested for preseason finale

    Kincaid didn't see the field in Saturday's 31-26 preseason loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Buffalo held key starters like Josh Allen and Kincaid out of the preseason finale to ensure that they're healthy for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Cardinals. Kincaid put up 673 receiving yards in a promising rookie regular season last year, and he's a likely candidate to pick up some of the slack following the offseason departure of wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who accounted for 1,183 receiving yards on 160 targets in the 2023 regular season.

  • To play over a quarter Saturday

    The Bills plan for Kincaid and the starting offense to play one and a half quarters during Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Buffalo deployed the first-team units for only a quarter during last week's preseason opener against the Bears, in which Kincaid secured his only target for seven yards. With Dawson Knox (groin/ankle) currently managing a pair of injuries, Kincaid could be in line for a larger portion of snaps than usual Saturday. The second-year pro looks like a breakout candidate at the tight-end position after having put up a 73-673-2 receiving line across 16 regular-season games as a rookie.

    Kincaid has been impressive throughout training camp, according to Alex Brasky of the Batavia Daily News.

    Analysis: The 2023 first-round pick came on strong in the second half of his rookie season -- especially while fellow tight end Dawson Knox was out with a wrist injury -- and now becomes a candidate to lead the Bills in targets post-Stefon Diggs. It is possible Knox's superior size/blocking costs Kincaid some snaps (and therefore routes), but there's no doubt Kincaid will be one of the passing-game priorities whenever he's on the field. The Bills otherwise seem to be counting on WRs Curtis Samuel, Khalil…read more

  • Buffalo's leading receiver in loss

    Kincaid caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in Buffalo's 27-24 divisional-round loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: The stat line explains more than just Kincaid having another strong game in what's been a fantastic rookie season, as the fact that his 45 yards led the team shows just how much the Bills couldn't get Stefon Diggs going in such a crucial game, or that Josh Allen has to play Superman with his legs for the team to keep up with elite opponents.

  • Shines in postseason debut

    Kincaid caught three of six targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 31-17 playoff win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Kincaid and Stefon Diggs (nine targets) were the focal points of the Buffalo passing game, though Kincaid's tight end teammate Dawson Knox did catch a touchdown pass while seeing only two targets. Even with Knox healthy again, Kincaid remains the top receiving tight end in this offense, seeing six or greater targets in each of the past three games while combining for 14 catches for 230 yards during that span.

The 2023 first-round pick underwhelmed at various points along his rookie journey, but the tight end finished strong with 11 receptions and 171 of his 673 yards coming in the final two weeks of the regular season.

Kincaid had caught just one of four targets over the prior two games combined while being listed as having a shoulder issue on Week 17 practice reports, but he appeared to be fully healthy Sunday in a bounce-back performance.

    Kincaid didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Josh Allen completed just seven passes as Buffalo went with a run-heavy approach in the comfortable win. If the Bills' newfound success on the ground continues, Kincaid could be limited by a lack of volume again in Week 16 against the Chargers, especially with fellow tight end Dawson Knox healthy. Kincaid's yardage total has dropped in each of the past five games since the rookie compiled a career-high 81 receiving yards in Week 9 against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Kincaid appeared to injure his shoulder in the second half against Kansas City last week, but he's avoided a serious issue on that front as well as with his listed thumb injury and is good to go for Week 15. Despite Dawson Knox's return from injured reserve this past Sunday, Kincaid still saw eight targets and played 78 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps.

With that in mind, Kincaid presumably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Bills head coach Sean McDermott said after Sunday's win over the Chiefs that Kincaid was day-to-day after requiring X-rays on his shoulder during the contest, but the rookie tight end is also apparently carrying a thumb injury into Week 15.

    Analysis: While coach Sean McDermott relayed Monday that safety Micah Hyde (stinger) and defensive end A.J. Epenesa (rib) were in the week-to-week category, Kincaid was deemed day-to-day, which suggests that the tight end potentially could play through his shoulder issue this weekend. Added context with regard to his Week 15 status will arrive no later than Wednesday's practice, but if Kincaid is limited or out versus Dallas, Dawson Knox would be next up for Buffalo's TE snaps.

The rookie tight end finished with five catches for 21 yards on eight targets. If Kincaid's shoulder injury hampers his availability for the team's Week 15 matchup with the Cowboys, Dawson Knox would likely see additional involvement in the passing game.

He sports a 39-356-2 line over that stretch, and even if Dawson Knox (wrist) is able to return following the Bills' Week 13 bye, it's hard to imagine Kincaid's role in the passing game shrinking significantly given the chemistry he's established with Josh Allen.

Over the last five games, Kincaid has put together a 34-318-2 line on 39 targets, and he could make an impact again in Week 12 against an Eagles defense that allowed five touchdowns to TEs through its first nine games.

However, the rookie's standout night was somewhat marred by his particularly untimely lost fumble, which came at the Bengals' 11-yard line early in the fourth quarter and with Buffalo seemingly on the verge of reducing a 21-10 deficit.

The rookie also scored his first career touchdown on a 22-yard grab late in the second quarter, and he'll take a stellar 13-140 line on 15 targets over the last two games into a Week 9 road showdown against the Bengals on Sunday night, Nov. 5.

Kincaid is coming off a career-best 8-75-0 receiving line in Sunday's loss to New England, so the arrow is definitely pointing up for the only tight end selected in the first round in the 2023 NFL Draft.

    Analysis: Kincaid put forth an efficient, albeit subdued, NFL debut. He had one more yard than veteran tight end Dawson Knox on the same number of targets. Both Knox and Kincaid should get their fair share of attention from quarterback Josh Allen in a pass-heavy Buffalo offense.

  • Not targeted

    Kincaid wasn't targeted in Saturday's 24-21 preseason win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Kincaid appeared to play about half the snaps on QB Josh Allen's lone drive, which featured seven pass attempts and a short rushing score from RB Damien Harris. The Bills still have Dawson Knox as their top tight end, so in practice Kincaid is competing for snaps with No. 3 receiver Khalil Shakir as much or more so than with anyone else. Kincaid will make his regular-season NFL debut on Monday Night Football in Week 1 against the Jets.

  • First catches as pro

    Kincaid recorded three receptions on four targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 27-15 preseason loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Kincaid began his day with the first unit as Dawson Knox (finger) was forced to miss the game. His first catch as a pro came from Josh Allen, though Kincaid connected with Matt Barkley for gains of 21 and 16 yards. Kincaid is likely to have a significant role in the offense come Week 1 of the regular season, and he flashed his big-play potential in Saturday's exhibition contest.

  • Not targeted in preseason debut

    Kincaid (back) suited up for Saturday's preseason opener against Indianapolis, but he was not targeted during his brief exhibition debut.

    Analysis: While it would have been nice to see the first tight end taken in this year's draft get involved on offense, the fact that Kincaid suited up for the first of three exhibition contests at least confirms that he is completely over the back issues he experienced in the offseason. Buffalo traded up in the first round to draft the receiving tight end, and early reports indicate that the team has no intention of making the rookie sit behind the incumbent veteran, Dawson Knox, either.

  • Expected to contribute right away

    Kincaid is being fast-tracked into a prominent role heading into his rookie season, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kincaid has impressed Buffalo's coaching staff with his route-running ability and hands. The rookie first-round pick out of Utah will battle incumbent starting tight end Dawson Knox for playing time, though the Bills will likely opt to utilize more 12 personnel to get both tight ends on the field simultaneously.

  • Signs rookie deal

    Kincaid signed a four-year deal Saturday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Bills surprised plenty of people when they jumped up in the first round to select Kincaid out of Utah with the 25th pick, but there's little doubt about his pass-catching ability. He's already been participating in minicamp, though it may take much of the summer to determine how the Bills plan to utilize Kincaid in conjunction with the established Dawson Knox. There's a chance that Kincaid has enough athletic ability to see work in the slot, even at times when Knox is also on the field.
