Kincaid is a matchup nightmare waiting to be further unleashed in Brady's scheme. Far more than a traditional tight end, even one known as a primary pass catcher, Kincaid brings a near-unparalleled skill set to the position. Finding ways to move Kincaid around on offense to create mismatches will be key, as we saw on several plays in Week 1 that featured him in a role similar to wide receiver Joshua Palmer last season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Kincaid deployed as versatile slot/boundary receiver, not just traditional TE.

The source emphasizes that Kincaid shouldn't be pigeon-holed into only TE-specific routes and situations. He's talented and explosive enough to play anywhere the offense needs him, including roles similar to wide receiver Joshua Palmer last season. Finding ways to move Kincaid around on offense to create mismatches will be key, as evidenced by several Week 1 plays. The source compares his potential to retired NFL wide receiver Ed McCaffrey, noting Kincaid can play a similar role as an efficient boundary or slot receiver who proves to be a mismatch for almost every defender he faces in coverage.
