From the article

Dalton Kincaid's bulked up physique has a two-fold benefit to his game and this Bills team. There's the idea that added strength, particularly around his knee, will help his durability. Also, with more power, Kincaid can become a more stable, people-moving blocker. He'd demonstrated clear improvement in that aspect in these opening two weeks... In my five takeaways article after Bills-Lions, I wrote about the showcasing of Buffalo's real-time adaptability in the second half of Week 2's win after DJ Moore's injury. And they were able to roll out plenty of 13 personnel looks to keep the defense honest when they really wanted to lean on the ground game without their No. 1 wideout on the field and holding a sizable lead.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Kincaid's 13-personnel role masks run-pass intent; 50-50 split vs. 76.7% pass in 11 personnel.

Kincaid's bulked-up physique improves durability around the knee and blocking stability; he demonstrated clear improvement in blocking through two weeks. In 13 personnel, he's no longer an obvious run/pass tell—the Bills have a 50-50 run-pass split with him on field in that grouping, versus 76.7% pass in 11 personnel and 70% pass in 12 personnel. This unpredictability, combined with his receiving threat status, makes him a key efficiency creator in Joe Brady's offense, which deployed 13 personnel on 33.8% of snaps through Week 2, second only to the Rams.
