Top TEs To Start in Week 9

Dalton Kincaid, TE, Buffalo Bills

Fantasy managers that drafted Dalton Kincaid — and held onto him this entire time — finally got what they were hoping for with a breakout performance from the rookie TE in Week 8.

Moving forward, due to his talent level and the offense that he plays in, Kincaid needs to be in your starting lineups until Dawson Knox returns. We still don’t know what the split will look like when Knox does make it back onto the field, but that’s a conversation for a later time.

In the meantime, fire Kincaid up as a top-five option this week in a high-scoring affair against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Logan Thomas, TE, Washington Commanders

Aside from a Week 6 dud performance, Logan Thomas has been fantastic for fantasy managers here recently. If you remove that game against Atlanta — where he saw just one target — Thomas has averaged eight targets per contest over the last month.

At the TE position, you’re chasing volume, and Thomas has it. If you got burned by him in Week 6, you need to throw that out the window and plug him right back into your starting lineup in Week 9 against the New England Patriots.
