Bills' Dalton Kincaid back to his best after early torching of Dolphins on TNF image

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid was supposed to take the league by storm last season after his impressive rookie campaign that saw him post 673 yards.

But injuries and poor form saw him not be able to get close to the feats of his rookie season, but now, as the Buffalo Bills have begun the 2025 season in blistering fashion, so too has Kincaid.

In his first two games, Kincaid has posted 48 and 37 yards along with a touchdown as he looks to be getting his groove back, but then against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football, in the first quarter, Dalton was sublime.

He hauled in three catches for 41 yards, which included a touchdown, as he already has the same number of touchdowns caught last season, and we are three games into the year.

Seen as a big part of Joe Brady's offense, having a healthy Kincaid is a game-changer for the Bills, and Miami just found out the hard way what he can produce.

Kincaid proving to be back to his best

Having already hauled in two touchdowns, the same number as the entirety of last season, Dalton is off to a good start, not to mention that he's already over 100 receiving yards on the year; things are trending in the right direction.

We know of the weapons at Josh Allen's disposal with James Cook, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Joshua Palmer, but when we add in Kincaid and what he can do from a blocking and pass-catching perspective, he might just be the difference between Buffalo making the Super Bowl or not.

Thought to be on the right track as far as being one of the better tight ends in football last season, he regressed a little, but his blistering start to the 2025 season suggests Dalton is ready to take his place among the upper echelon of tight ends in football.
