Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic wrote he believes Kincaid is in line for an 'enhanced role' in the Bills, which won't be difficult given former first-rounder only appeared on 26.8% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in 2025... Kincaid ultimately led at his position in yards per route run — the ultimate efficiency metric — at 2.79 yards.

Kincaid primed for enhanced role after 26.8% snap share; led TEs in YPRR at 2.79.

Kincaid is in line for an 'enhanced role' in the Bills offense after appearing on just 26.8% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in 2025. The tight end led his position in yards per route run (2.79 YPRR), the ultimate efficiency metric. Despite limited snap share, Kincaid was deployed as a receiver-like asset: 66.9% of his snaps came from slot (43.5%, 9th among TEs) and wide (23.4%, 3rd among TEs) alignments rather than inline (32.6%, 101st). With added strength from an offseason bulk-up and the arrival of DJ Moore, the Bills can expand multiple-tight end sets while maintaining receiver-heavy efficiency, positioning Kincaid as the headliner in a TE-heavy attack.
