The Buffalo Bills are gearing up for the Highmark Stadium finale against the New York Jets, but fans aren't sure if they will see tight end Dalton Kincaid.

With the tight end not playing in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last week, and only having one target for zero receptions in the win over the Cleveland Browns the week before, many are wondering when we will see Dalton.

Well, as the Bills dropped their inactives list for Week 18, Kincaid wasn't on it.

But that's not the end of it.

Given that teams can only sit so many players, despite Kincaid not being inactive, there is a real chance that he doesn't see the field at Highmark.

In a meaningless game, there is no sense in risking the tight end ahead of the playoffs.

So, despite Dalton being "active," there's a real chance Bills Mafia doesn't see him on the field.

Will Bills' starters play vs. Jets?

Yes, they will, but for how long, we aren't sure.

Josh Allen and Co. Might play a series, or a quarter, and then sit, allowing the backups and younger players to get some valuable reps.

Given that Allen's ankle is banged up, and Dalton is under an injury cloud, don't expect to see the pair play much at all.

Receiver Keon Coleman is active, so he will need to impress ahead of the playoffs, and with Brandin Cooks inactive, the young receiver should see some targets come his way.

But as far as Kincaid, don't expect to see him much, if at all, at Highmark.
