Dalton Kincaid vs. Ravens — High-Scoring Environment Offers TE1 Appeal Despite Chest Injury

Kincaid is officially questionable for Week 8 after being limited in Wednesday's practice with a chest issue. Buffalo's primary tight end logged eight targets just before their Week 7 bye, proving his heavy involvement in Joe Brady's passing scheme. With wide receiver DJ Moore also limited due to a shoulder ailment, Kincaid should command high-percentage looks over the middle if cleared, but fantasy managers must check late-week injury updates.

This home clash against Baltimore carries serious shootout appeal with an over/under of 54.5 points. Our weekly projection pegs Kincaid for 3.5 receptions, 37 yards, and 9.1 fantasy points. His roster start rate has dipped to 37% amid health concerns, but his role inside this explosive 5-1 Buffalo offense keeps him firmly in play as a solid starting tight end.
