Dalton Kincaid (knee) WILL NOT play against the Chiefs, Sean McDermott announces on WGR 550.

Spencer Brown (ankle) and Amari Cooper (wrist) are both questionable.

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

Knox gets boosted up into tight end streamer territory, in a good matchup against the Chiefs, who have been susceptible to the position.

Shakir should be considered an interesting WR3 regardless, but gets a boost to his projections should Cooper miss another week.

According to multiple reports, the Bills are acquiring Amari Cooper from the Browns.

Buffalo will receive Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round pick while Cleveland will receive a 2025 third-round pick along with a 2026 seventh-round pick.

Cooper, 30, has caught 24 passes for 250 yards with two touchdowns this season. His fantasy production has been inconsistent so far, but that can probably be blamed on the poor play of quarterback Deshaun Watson. Last year Cooper finished with a line of 72-1,250-5, mostly without Watson under center. Cooper will eventually be locked in as the Bills WR1 and push players like Shakir, Coleman Kincaid and Knox further down the fantasy depth chart. It's easy to see Cooper having a chance to thrive with Allen as his QB. Meanwhile in Cleveland, Jeudy, Moore and Tillman will battle it out at the WR position with Njoku becoming more of a target at TE.

The potential is definitely there for Dalton Kincaid to be one of their top targets in 2024. However, from the looks of things on the first day of camp, those expecting Kincaid to usurp the full-time role from Dawson Knox this year and push the veteran tight end into a backup may have their hopes dashed.

Buscaglia continued, "So while it’s fine to believe Kincaid can better his very strong rookie season output in 2024, it’s important to note his role went back to early season levels after Knox’s return from injured reserve last year."

This definitely isn't *good* news, but we have to remember what the state of the wide receiver room is in Buffalo at the moment. Kincaid can still shine while rotating with Knox, but does he have the top-3 upside we thought he had going into Year 2? Maybe not.

Neither nickel corner Taron Johnson (ankle) or tight end Dalton Kincaid (thumb/shoulder) have an injury designation for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. Both are set to play despite being limited in practice all week.

The Kincaid/Knox tandem should continue to rule the gameplan as the Bills' "big slot" options, pushing Khalil Shakir down in playing time. Kincaid slides directly back into TE1 considerations.

Bills HC Sean McDermott says they are opening up the 21-day practice windows for TE Dawson Knox and CB Kaiir Elam, who are both on Injured Reserve.

As to whether or not either would play, McDermott preemptively said "We'll take it one day at a time."

Still sounds like it's up in the air when we'll see Knox back on the football field, and it wouldn't be unheard of if they take it easy as they aim for a playoff spot. Kincaid has been fantastic in Knox's absence, sitting at a 56-474-2 stat line; a great achievement for any rookie tight end.

Bills standout TE Dawson Knox, out tonight with a wrist injury that requires surgery, is likely to be placed on Injured Reserve. That would knock him out four games.

This has made Kincaid a popular waiver wire target ahead of Week 8, and for good reason, after he caught eight balls for 75 yards with Knox limited the week prior. Kincaid should be scooped in whatever leagues he is still available in.

There is no timeline for Knox. But any time missed should be good news for Kincaid owners. Kinkaid is coming of an 8-75-0 line where he was targeted eight times, second only to Stefon Diggs. It was his best fantasy production of the season, second to a 5-43-0 line back on Sept. 17. In more shallow leagues, Kincaid could be on your waiver wire.

Bills are listing both their TEs, Dawson Knox (wrist) and Dalton Kincaid (concussion), as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Giants.

Dalton Kincaid (80) and Dawson Knox (70) currently lead the team in routes ran out of the slot on the season, so if they both miss, they're going to need someone to step up in 3WR sets. Gabe Davis is playing far less out of the slot than he did earlier in his career, but has the requisite size to perform as the "big slot" if they need him to revert back into that player. He ran a season-high 34.8% of his routes out of the slot back in Week 4 during their 48-20 blowout win over the Dolphins.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott told reporters on a Monday video conference that Dalton Kincaid is in the concussion protocol and that Dawson Knox has a wrist injury.

McDermott said the team will monitor both players as they move toward their Sunday night game against the Giants in Week 6. Kincaid was cleared to return to the game, the story said, but will now enter protocol.

TE Dawson Knox was on the field but in a red non-contact jersey. Katherine followed up with, "Dawson Knox left Saturday's game for a bit after landing hard on a catch the first play of Bills' opening drive. He came back and played 75% of the snaps on offense. After the game, he said 'just landed on it -- a little hip pointer, nothing major.'"

Unless we get news of Knox missing Friday's practice it would seem we have nothing to worry about in fantasy land. He has gone 13-177-3 over the last three games and is a TE1 in what could be an explosive offensive game against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.
