Colby Parkinson vs Dalton Kincaid: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Colby Parkinson and Dalton Kincaid for your lineup, you are not alone. Colby Parkinson finished the 2025 season at 7.2 PPG for the Los Angeles Rams (15 games), and Dalton Kincaid averaged 8.9 for the Buffalo Bills (12 games).

That 1.7-point weekly advantage for Dalton Kincaid is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Colby Parkinson had 43 catches for 408 yards; Dalton Kincaid posted 39 for 571. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

One scheduling note: Colby Parkinson is off Week 6 and Dalton Kincaid Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
