Dalton Kincaid vs Juwan Johnson: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Dalton Kincaid finished the 2025 season at 8.9 PPG over 12 games with the Buffalo Bills, while Juwan Johnson clocked in at 8.3 across 17 appearances for the New Orleans Saints. A 0.6-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Juwan Johnson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 77 receptions for 889 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 Juwan Johnson, but the floor gap is real.
Both share a Week 12 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.
