Dalton Kincaid Injury Update
Kincaid was sidelined for the last two games with a knee injury. He sustained the injury in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts while diving for the ball.
The second-year player briefly returned to the field with a brace on his left knee but was ultimately downgraded to doubtful and did not finish the game. Since then, he has been unable to practice and was ruled out for Week 13's contest with the San Francisco 49ers.

Kincaid missed Week 11, and the team had a bye in Week 12. During this span, fantasy managers were left frustrated with the lack of updates on his recovery timeline.
The tight end has been ruled out early in each week he has missed, signaling that his recovery could take longer than anticipated. As of now, he has not practiced, and it is unclear if he will return for Week 14's clash with the Los Angeles Rams.
Dalton Kincaid Fantasy Football Outlook
On the season, Kincaid has 34 receptions for 356 yards and two scores in 10 games. While his production has been steady, the uncertainty surrounding his return makes him a risky hold for fantasy managers.
With Dawson Knox stepping up in Kincaid's absence, managers in need of tight end help may consider Knox as a fill-in option. It is not suggested that you drop Kincaid off to pick up Knox. If you have the space to hold them both, it could benefit you in the long run.
DAWSON. KNOX.

If you have the roster space and can afford to wait, Kincaid remains a stash candidate for his upside in Buffalo's high-powered offense.
However, if you desperately need a healthy option for the position, it might be time to explore the waiver wire for alternatives. Keep an eye on the Bills' practice reports this week to determine if the tight end can suit up in Week 14.
