Alright, let’s talk about this “Taysom Hill or Kincaid” situation. Been messing around with this in my fantasy leagues, so figured I’d share my thought process.
First off, gotta say, it’s a tough call. Both guys have potential, but they’re also in kinda weird spots on their teams. It’s not like you’re comparing apples to apples, ya know?
- Taysom Hill: The ultimate Swiss Army knife. He’s listed as a TE, but he lines up all over the place. Sometimes he’s running the ball, sometimes he’s throwing it (poorly, let’s be honest), sometimes he’s catching it. It’s a total gamble, week to week.
- Dalton Kincaid: Rookie tight end for the Bills. Everyone’s excited about his potential. He’s got the hands, the route-running, all the good stuff. But he’s also gotta compete with Dawson Knox for targets, and rookies always have a learning curve.
So, what did I do? Well, first I looked at my roster situation. How desperate am I for a TE? If I’ve got Kelce or Andrews, I’m not even thinking about either of these guys. But if I’m streaming TEs every week, then it’s a different story.
Then I went digging into the matchups. Who are their teams playing? Does the defense give up a lot of yards to tight ends? Are there injuries on the other team that might open up more opportunities?
For Hill, I tried to look at past games where he had big performances. What was the game plan like? Were there specific injuries that forced the Saints to use him more? If the Saints are playing a tough run defense, maybe they’ll try to get Hill involved in the passing game more. That’s the hope, anyway.
With Kincaid, it’s more about projecting. I watched some film, read some scouting reports, and tried to get a feel for how the Bills plan to use him. Is he going to be a red-zone threat? Will he be running a lot of routes out of the slot? If the Bills are facing a team with a weak secondary, maybe they’ll try to exploit that with Kincaid.
Honestly, I ended up going with Kincaid in one league and Hill in another. It really came down to gut feeling and a little bit of need. Kincaid has the higher ceiling, I think, but Hill has the slightly safer floor, just because you know he’s going to get some touches every week, even if they’re unpredictable.
The final decision? I tossed a coin. Okay, I’m kidding (sort of). I looked at the weather forecast for each game. Rain usually means more running, so maybe a slight edge to Hill there. But overall, it was a toss-up. Just gotta hope for the best and see what happens.
At the end of the day, fantasy football is all about taking chances and hoping for the best. So, whether you go with Taysom Hill or Dalton Kincaid, good luck to ya!
