What is Dalton Kincaid?
Like, is he good?
Like, why, why, why have things not worked out for him so far?
I just don't know what to make of him.
He's like a...
He was, or I should say, he was overdrafted.
I think his role hasn't been exactly what they envisioned, uh, because he's more or less a slot receiver for the Bills, you know, catching flats and RPO bubbles and a lot of those, and he's getting used, you know, it's a cool part of their offense and how they, we talked about this, about the inverse roles, receivers block and tight ends with pass catchers and kind of do a little bit of everything in that offense.
But he's just not, again, this is the red zone thing.
He's not overly big, you know, he's an undersized tight end, and I think he's a good athlete, but he hasn't been just that game changer with the ball in his hands.
He's more just a fine efficiency guy.
He's more just a fine efficiency guy.
He's almost like a shrunken TJ Hawkinson.
He's almost like a shrunken TJ Hawkinson.
Like, that's kind of what Kincaid is kind of end up feeling like as a football player, where it's like, yeah, it's a nice role, a role player to have on your offense.
But I'm not making this guy #1 or #2.
I don't want him.
I want him as more of a #3 target.
I want him as more of a #3 target.
They got kind of like, like Khalil Shakir is also that #2, and we talked about this.
They have a lot of number 2s and 3s and 4s on this offense.
That works when you have one of the dudes, the reigning MVP at quarterback, so they can make it work.
But that's the problem, fantasy wise.
He feels capped out because, talked about the original point where it's 20%, 20%, 20%, 20%.
That's how the Bills' offense kind of feels.
Everybody gets a little bit of touches.
All right.
All right.
Okay, you're gonna, you're worried about Josh so much.
All right, we're just everybody gets their underneath stuff.
Everybody blocks for each other.
It's great normal football or real football, but fantasy wise, like, I just think he's capped out.
It's just that's his style of play.
Um, I just don't think he's that overwhelming size or overwhelming athlete.
He's just a nice player, a nice role player in the offense.
He is another one of those guys that it goes back to what we talked about at the top, like he has some of those problems of why this position is really difficult in fantasy because if you're gonna be that dominant target earner as a tight end, you've got to be an overwhelming talent, and it doesn't matter where he was drafted so far, he's not proven to be that sort of overwhelming talent.
