Not in article's top 5 but featured in comments as late-round TE value. When healthy: 1st in yards per reception (14.6 YPR), 3rd in YAC (6.7), 1st in passer rating when targeted, 2nd in average depth of target. Injury concern: same PCL injury as Bowers/London/Pearsall; likely pitch count early season, capped at 63% snap share (rookie high) or 38% (2025). Efficient per-route/target but volume ceiling is hard-capped by snap share. Community bullish on efficiency metrics; cautious on volume.
Dalton Kincaid is a buy-low tight end with elite efficiency metrics and structural offensive role. Despite only 179 routes, Kincaid ranked 1st in yards per route run, 4th in air yards, 1st in 20-yard gains, 1st in QB rating per target, and 1st in fantasy points per route run. He's 2nd in fantasy points per target (2.57). The Bills' offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael (formerly Denver/Saints) typically targets tight ends at 23–25% of targets. With Dawson Knox re-signed, Kincaid operates as the big slot in 12 personnel. DJ Moore is the likely #1 target, positioning Kincaid as a drastically mispriced option with draft capital, advanced efficiency metrics, a rocket-armed QB (Josh Allen), and an OC unafraid to target tight ends. At 106 in PPR and 152 in tight end premium, he's extremely cheap. Health is the key question, but if fully healthy and another year in the league, he could age into being Allen's safety blanket. Singular 2nd-round picks are acquiring him in some leagues.

Despite missing time and playing through injuries, Kincaid ranks seventh in expected points added (EPA) per target over the past two seasons; he leads all tight ends in targets per routes run rate (TPRR%) at 25.9% and boasts the highest off-target percentage (13.7%), showing his dynamic playmaking with limited quality targets. He posted 2.13 yards per route run (second-highest) and there is speculation his usage will significantly increase under new OC Pete Carmichael. The source gives a 'yes' vote on Kincaid as a 2026 breakout TE candidate, stating 'we finally get our wish'; the source expects new OC Pete Carmichael and head coach Joe Brady to significantly increase Kincaid's usage after he was involved in only 41% of routes over the past two seasons due to injuries and offensive design.
