Dalton Kincaid Injury: Is Dalton Kincaid Hurt?
Buffalo Bills Tight End Dalton Kincaid is off to a good start in his rookie season with the Bills in 2023, with 495 yards and 2 touchdowns on 61 receptions through 12 games. Playing in his first year in the NFL has made Kincaid a popular choice in fantasy football, but this week he has shoulder and thumb injuries that have fantasy managers scratching their heads. The Bills have a Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, but there are questions about Kincaid’s availability on Thursday.
Dalton Kincaid Injury
Dalton Kincaid (born October 18, 1999) is a professional football tight end who plays for the Buffalo Bills in the NFL. He is a Las Vegas native who is 6-4, 240 pounds. Kincaid started playing high school football at Faith Lutheran High School in Summerlin. Although he mainly played basketball during his younger years, he decided to join the high school’s football team during his senior year and was named to the all-state team. He rushed for over 700 yards and scored eight touchdowns in his senior season. During his college career, Kincaid played for the University of San Diego, where he had some impressive stats. He then transferred to Utah for his junior and senior seasons.
Kincaid was listed on the Bills’ injury report this week due to a shoulder and thumb injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday. Bills coach Sean McDermott said Kincaid was listed as “day-to-day” after X-rays were taken on his shoulder during Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The fact that he was able to practice on Wednesday suggests that Kincaid’s injury might not be as severe as initially thought. Still, the Bills listed him as “questionable” for Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. So, fantasy managers should wait until Kincaid returns to full training and is available before thinking of starting him in Week 15. Through 12 games this season, Kincaid has averaged 5.0 fantasy points per possession (FPPG).
As of this writing, there is no update on Kincaid’s status. However, the tight end did participate in a limited practice on Wednesday. In addition, Kincaid did speak to reporters after the Bills’ Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, saying that his shoulder injury is not a long-term issue. Kincaid will now have two more practices in training to ramp up his activity and hopefully alleviate any doubt about his availability for Week 15 against Dallas. If Kincaid can participate in full practices this week, he could be ready to go against the Cowboys. The Bills will host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, December 17 at Orchard Park’s High Park Stadium. The game will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET. Stay tuned to our website for more latest news updates.
