Dalton Kincaid vs Theo Johnson: Who Should You Start?
Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Dalton Kincaid (Buffalo Bills) finished the 2025 season averaging 8.9 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Theo Johnson (New York Giants) came in at 7.0 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Dalton Kincaid carries a 1.9-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.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Dalton Kincaid had 39 catches for 571 yards; Theo Johnson posted 45 for 528. 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: Dalton Kincaid is off Week 12 and Theo Johnson Week 11. 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.
