Dalton Kincaid vs Tyler Higbee: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Dalton Kincaid and Tyler Higbee for your lineup, you are not alone. Dalton Kincaid finished the 2025 season at 8.9 PPG for the Buffalo Bills (12 games), and Tyler Higbee averaged 5.9 for the Los Angeles Rams (10 games).
That 3.0-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. Dalton Kincaid had 39 catches for 571 yards; Tyler Higbee posted 25 for 281. 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 Tyler Higbee Week 6. 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.
