Why it Matters: We'll keep an eye on Kincaid's injury, as he is a solid streaming option for fantasy managers when he is healthy. He has high-end TE2 value. If he is unable to play, Dawson Knox could be tasked with more responsibilities.

Of routes run in Week 1 for Dalton Kincaid, higher than any mark in 2025. This is good for most TEs, but incredible and notable for Kincaid. As a first-round TE talent, Kincaid has been limited throughout his career due to run blocking and injuries. Last season before his knee injury, he was right at 60% of the routes, good enough to be a mid-level TE1, although not ideal. After the injury, it dropped to 44%. If a ~70% route share holds, Kincaid can be the TE value of the year. His yards per route were top-three in the NFL (not just TE) and he is a part of one of the best offenses in the league. He had a nice start to the season with 130 receiving yards against the Texans defense.
The RB target split for Bucky Irving compared to Kenny Gainwell in Week 1 (and would've been eight without penalties). Gainwell was a backup RB that wasn't a focus of the offense, with only 18% of snaps resulting in a touch (Irving: 47%). Not to mention, Irving got both red-zone carries, one resulting in a touchdown. Sean Tucker is still out for now, but Irving looks to be a workhorse RB with elite receiving potential.
Gold opportunities for Chuba Hubbard: two red-zone targets and a goal-line attempt. They're the best opportunities for a touchdown for a RB, and it resulted in two here. Chicago's defense may need some help, but the workload should keep him as a weekly play as long as he holds off Jonathon Brooks. With 71% of the RB touches, anybody can have value. Before his injury last season, Hubbard began the 2025 season with nearly 20 touches per game over the first few weeks. I trust the stability of his volume going into Week 2 as a central role of the red-zone offense.

One word that could be used to describe the wide receiver room of the Buffalo Bills is "unknown" and that weighs heavy on one ranking.
FOX Sports grouped together every NFL team's skill position players on offense and then put all 32 head-to-head against each other. In a surprise because the quarterback position was not factored into this discussion, the Bills only land at the No. 21 overall position on FOX Sports' list.
Here's the outlet's breakdown on the Bills:
James Cook is a phenomenal RB and one of the best ground weapons in football. So that's great. But nothing else about Josh Allen's weapons comes close to matching that level. As always, his WR group is lacking. The Bills brought in DJ Moore, who is 29 and in decline. Beyond him, their best hope is Khalil Shakir, who is a decent No. 2 receiver.
Buffalo does have a nice TE duo in Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, who combined for decent numbers last season (75-988-9). But it remains one of the NFL's great mysteries why the club has ignored saddling its MVP-caliber QB with a better No. 1 receiver since trading Stefon Diggs after the 2023 season. Without that elite go-to guy, this team's firepower is all about Allen and Cook. Maybe that's enough. But the Bills sure could have made their lives easier.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As the Browns' clumsy starting quarterback competition winds down, they got an up-close view at what a franchise QB looks like.
Josh Allen reminded them what's missing.
Despite not having two of his top wide receivers due to injuries, Buffalo's star QB showed typical poise and precision while working against Cleveland's solid defense as the Bills and Browns held a joint practice Thursday in advance of their weekend exhibition.
Allen connected with tight end Dalton Kincaid for a long touchdown and the Bills, one of the AFC's preseason Super Bowl favorites, made more big plays than the Browns, who are nearing a decision on who will be their No. 1 QB.
"It was good to see guys step up, go out there and make some plays," Allen said in ***** sing the session, which included plenty of trash talk but no fights. "The tight ends had a really good day. I didn't get to see a lot of the defense, but it seemed like we were flying around, having a lot of energy.

The Buffalo Bills are set to begin their sixth day of open practice at training camp at St. John Fisher University, and after Tuesday's salty drills, who knows what we can expect.
The sun was finally out at camp, temperatures were up, and the Bills were wearing their pads for the entire practice for the first time. All of those factors likely led to some spirited fights during the two-hour workout.
None were more talked about than the scrum that ensued after rookie linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr delivered a late hit on tight end Dalton Kincaid.
Will cooler heads prevail today? Did Joe Brady remind his players that they're teammates? Or is he a coach who likes mayhem at practice?
We'll see.

Pittsford, N.Y. | Through minicamp and four days of Buffalo Bills training camp, nothing about Kaleb Elarms-Orr indicates he's rookie.
That is… besides the fact he was indeed selected by Brandon Beane in the middle of the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Immediately repping with the first-team unit at the outset of practices at St. John Fisher University, Elarms-Orr has looked like he's done this all before, regularly directing teammates pre-snap, and more importantly, acting as a magnet to the football against the run and in coverage.
And during Tuesday's practice, Elarms-Orr's edgy play sparked a large scuffle when he hit Dalton Kincaid after the tight end made a snag going to the ground during team drills.
The late-ish hit came following a KEO tackle of Ty Johnson on what looked like a perfectly blocked run play until the rookie linebacker emphatically closed the lane with a thudding hit.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid left training camp practice Monday after appearing to suffer an injury during 11-on-11 red-zone drills.
Kincaid went down near the middle of the field on a play in which quarterback Josh Allen rolled to his right and connected with Khalil Shakir near the right pylon for a touchdown.
Kincaid went to one knee following the play before getting up and walking off the field with a limp alongside members of the team's training staff.
Kincaid then removed his helmet and spent time talking with trainers behind the practice field at St. John Fisher University.
He didn't participate in the rest of 11-on-11 drills but went back in a few minutes later for walkthrough drills.

Top 2027 recruit Ma’Ryiah Alfred has committed to Houston, she told Rivals. The 5-7 point guard from Houston (TX) The Kincaid School chose Houston over UNLV and Georgetown.
“The belief that he has in me and that he’s shown in me through the whole recruiting process,” Alfred said of why she chose the Cougars. “I want to be a part of something special. I believe that he has the vision to change women’s basketball in Houston. It’d be crazy to look back in the future and be a part of the change.”
Her relationship with head coach Matthew Mitchell played a role in her decision.
“I actually go to school with his daughters,” she said. “He was always around and always supporting me…He’s seen the good days and the bad days and he’s never changed. Everything has been so genuine and his belief in me made our relationship very close.”
Alfred sees her game fitting in well with Houston’s play style.

Every summer, ESPN NFL Insider Jeremy Fowler surveys league executives, scouts, and coaches about the Top 10 players at each position, and today he released the results for the tight end position.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid did not make the Top 10, instead getting an honorable mention distinction. Here's what Fowler wrote about Kincaid:
"A very gifted athlete. He hasn't put it all together yet, but that's partly due to injury — he absolutely can. I expect him to." — NFC executive
Fine ***** sment, wouldn't you say?
It's been universally agreed upon since his days as a prospect that Kincaid was one of the smoothest, most dynamic athletes at the position.
