Dalton Kincaid

The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia believes the Bills won’t “fully commit” to Dalton Kincaid as a full time starter with Dawson Knox in the fold.

Judging from the team’s tight end usage during the first day of training camp, Buscaglia said “those expecting Kincaid to usurp the full-time role from Dawson Knox this year and push the veteran tight end into a backup may have their hopes dashed.” Kincaid’s usage and target share took a dip when Knox was healthy and active in 2023. Kincaid saw an average of five targets per game when Knox was in Buffalo’s lineup; he had 7.7 targets per game when Knox was out with injury. Kincaid’s yards per game spiked by 22 yards per game with Knox out in 2023. Knox’s presence could prevent Kincaid from posting elite numbers this season.
