Dalton Kincaid vs Kyle Pitts: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Dalton Kincaid and Kyle Pitts is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.9 PPG in 2025, this is one of those tight end decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Dalton Kincaid averaged 8.9 PPG with the Buffalo Bills across 12 games, and Kyle Pitts posted 9.8 with the Atlanta Falcons in 17.
When two tight ends are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Kyle Pitts is the volume tight end in this matchup with 88 receptions for 928 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 Kyle Pitts, but the floor gap is real.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 12 bye. That means you need a backup plan at tight end for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
