Brock Bowers vs Dalton Kincaid: Who Should You Start?
Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Brock Bowers (Las Vegas Raiders) finished the 2025 season averaging 12.0 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Dalton Kincaid (Buffalo Bills) came in at 8.9 PPG over 12 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Brock Bowers carries a 3.1-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Brock Bowers is the volume tight end in this matchup with 64 receptions for 680 yards, while Dalton Kincaid profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (5 scores on 39 catches). In weeks where Dalton Kincaid finds the end zone he out-scores Brock Bowers, but the floor gap is real.
Brock Bowers has his bye in Week 10, and Dalton Kincaid rests in Week 12. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
