Buffalo Bills
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Buffalo traded up two spots to select Kincaid 25th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. While the rookie out of Utah is going to an explosive offense helmed by quarterback Josh Allen, the presence of fellow tight end Dawson Knox likely will prevent Kincaid from taking on large snap counts. Knox already has excellent red-zone chemistry with Allen, having caught 15 touchdowns over the past two seasons, and there will only be so many targets to go around for the tight ends behind wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis. Kincaid scored eight touchdowns each of his last two seasons at Utah, and he finished with 70 catches for 890 yards in 2022. The 6-foot-4 tight end has the skills and situation to develop into a productive pass catcher at the position, but he’ll likely be brought along slowly unless injuries to teammates thrust him into a key role.

Buffalo's leading receiver in loss
TEBuffalo Bills
January 22, 2024
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. As for Kincaid, his 73 receptions in the regular season were the fourth most in NFL history by a rookie tight end, and he's already passed teammate Dawson Knox as the No. 1 tight end in the passing game. The future is bright for Kincaid, who posted a 73-673-2 line in 16 regular-season games, especially considering he'll have an elite quarterback throwing him the ball for perhaps the next several years.

Outlook for '24 gets boost
TEBuffalo Bills
April 4, 2024
Kincaid is set for a boost in targets in 2024 following the trade of Stefon Diggs to the Texans on Wednesday, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The talented tight end already had an encouraging prospectus for next season, given the fact he'll once again play in a Josh Allen-helmed offense and that he already produced a 73-673-2 line on 91 targets across 16 games as a rookie in 2023. With Diggs and his 160 targets now in Houston -- and Gabe Davis also having departed in free agency to Jacksonville -- Kincaid should have a very good chance of logging triple-digit looks in 2024.
