The Buffalo Bills have a question mark at the tight end position going into their Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons, as Dalton Kincaid is uncertain to play.

According to the Bills' injury report, Kincaid is dealing with an oblique issue that kept him limited at practice all week. The Bills tight end is listed as questionable before kickoff.

With just hours to go before the Monday night game against the Falcons, here's what we know about Kincaid's chances of suiting up.

Is Dalton Kincaid playing tonight?

Unfortunately, we don't have a concrete answer to this question yet, as there haven't been any reports on whether or not Kincaid will suit up. We'll update this page if anything pops up.

However, Kincaid was still in a red non-contact jersey at practice on Saturday and the fact that he wasn't able to log a single full session all week suggests there's at least a chance he doesn't play. We would consider Kincaid 50/50 at this point.

The Bills do have the luxury of taking their time with Kincaid thanks to having a strong tight ends room that includes Dawson Knox and rookie Jackson Hawes, so that could factor into their decision.

Dalton Kincaid start or sit advice

Kincaid faces a tough matchup on Monday night against a Falcons team that is giving up the fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

However, entering Week 6, Kincaid was ranked as the TE2 overall in fantasy points at the position, so he's a must-start player if active, regardless of matchup.

If you waited on Kincaid and need a last-second option, consider Dawson Knox as a replacement. He'll start for Kincaid if the tight end is inactive and Knox should be available on waivers in all leagues.

Verdict: START (if active)
