Dalton Kincaid is limited at practice Thursday (chest)

Dalton Kincaid was limited at practice Thursday with a chest injury. The Bills tight end is listed as questionable for Monday night's game at Minnesota.

Kincaid played through the same chest issue last week and caught 4 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets against Baltimore. A limited practice does not guarantee he will play. Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff on Monday to confirm his availability for a difficult matchup against a Vikings defence that has allowed 5.5 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the fewest of 32.

Fantasy impact

Player by player

Dalton Kincaid

Over his last 3 games, Kincaid has averaged 9.0 half-PPR points a game on 5.3 targets with a 66% snap share and a 19% target share. His weighted opportunity rating of 0.38 ranked 12th of 110 tight ends over that span, and his 15% air yards share ranked 17th. He is scoring about what his usage predicts, 0.2 half-PPR points a game below expectation, so his points match his role.

Dawson Knox also played 70% of snaps in Week 8 and drew 2 targets, compared with Kincaid's 57% snap share and 6 targets. The Bills face Minnesota, who have allowed 5.5 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the fewest of 32. Monitor Kincaid's status through Friday's practice report and again on Sunday before making a lineup decision for Monday night.

What to do

• Monitor Kincaid's practice status Friday and check the inactive list about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

• If Kincaid is active, keep expectations modest against a Vikings defence that has allowed the fewest half-PPR points to tight ends.

• If Kincaid is ruled out, his targets will likely be distributed among Knox, Jackson Hawes and the Bills' wide receivers.
