Dalton Kincaid's fantasy role in Week 10
Dalton Kincaid goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a matchup-dependent TE option for the BUF. He is rostered in 78% of leagues and actually started in 30% of them, and we rank him TE14 on our own weekly board at 4.6 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
Health matters here: he carries a QUESTIONABLE designation, so have a replacement ready until his status is resolved.

Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dalton Kincaid (BUF TE), our TE14 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 4.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 2.4 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. The at NYJ draw matters here — road snaps against NYJ shape how often he's asked to do something. Fair warning: he carries a questionable tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dalton Kincaid (BUF TE), our TE14 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season at NYJ, projecting 4.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina calls it a floor problem: 2.4 points under the starter line is a lot of risk for a lineup spot. On the road against NYJ, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. Fair warning: he carries a questionable tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Tina keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
