Dalton Kincaid vs Terrance Ferguson: Who Should You Start?
Dalton Kincaid and Terrance Ferguson are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Dalton Kincaid averaged 8.9 PPG across 12 games with the Buffalo Bills, while Terrance Ferguson posted 3.3 PPG in 14 appearances for the Los Angeles Rams.
A 5.6-PPG gap gives Dalton Kincaid the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Dalton Kincaid is the volume tight end in this matchup with 39 receptions for 571 yards, while Terrance Ferguson profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (3 scores on 11 catches). In weeks where Terrance Ferguson finds the end zone he out-scores Dalton Kincaid, but the floor gap is real.
Dalton Kincaid has his bye in Week 12, and Terrance Ferguson rests in Week 6. 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.
