Analyst Expects Bills' Dalton Kincaid To 'Explode' In 2025

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid was supposed to take the step from a promising player to a star in 2024, but the football gods had other ideas.

A second-season that saw injury derail his production, Kincaid couldn't live up to his rookie year hype, posting just 448 yards (673 rookie season) and two touchdowns with 29 fewer receptions.

For an offense that averaged 30.9 points per game, having a young, promising tight end not play to his full ability, what that could now look like in 2025 is a scary thought.

Bills' play-by-play caller Chris Brown thinks that Kincaid will be the Bills player set to explode this upcoming season.

"For me, it's Dalton Kincaid,” Brown said. “A guy that had to battle through injury last year, but there were signs of his game that were encouraging even in year two, where his production dropped off considerably from what it was as a rookie when he had 73 receptions and set a team record at the tight end position for single season receptions. 

"He made more plays down the field last year, even with the reduced number of receptions and receiving yards than he had as a rookie. I think I blame injuries for curtailing his production more than anything else. And so I think here in year three, where we have seen a boatload of Bills players under this regime truly excel and explode onto the scene, I expect Kincaid to do that.”
