Tight end Dalton Kincaid hasn't been on the field for the Buffalo Bills in each of the last three games.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementKincaid's absence stems from a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 10 that led to him leaving the game early.
The veteran tight end did show some progress last week, though, as he was able to log two limited practices before being ruled out. The participation amounted to an upgrade for Kincaid.
As we turn the page to Week 14, here's what we know about Kincaid's chances of suiting up against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Will Dalton Kincaid return in Week 14?
We would say there's a good chance Kincaid returns to action on Sunday.
We say that because of Kincaid's upgrade in practice participation last week. It was also promising that the Bills didn't rule Kincaid out until gameday, which shows he was closer to returning than not.

"We'll see where that leads us this week," McDermott said, per Sal Capaccio of WGR550.
With the Bills playing on Sunday, we'll get our next update on Kincaid on Wednesday, the same day Buffalo releases its first Week 14 injury report.
Dalton Kincaid fantasy advice
If Kincaid plays, he should be inserted into lineups, even if he's on a limited snap count, which is possible.
Kincaid ranks as TE8 overall in terms of fantasy points per game, which makes him an every-week starter. A limited snap count would make him a risky play, but chances are you won't find a better option available on waivers.
