Dalton Kincaid is active for the Buffalo Bills’ Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the tight end has had a quiet opening to the game.
Kincaid entered Sunday coming off a strong first two weeks, when he caught 12 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown and looked like Buffalo’s most dependable option in the passing game. Through the early stretch of the Chargers game, though, he had not been able to do much with his lone target.
UPDATE: Kincaid has his first catch of the game in the second quarter.
The bigger issue for Buffalo has been the offense as a whole. The Bills have turned the ball over three times, and Josh Allen has been charged with two of them. At the time of this writing, Allen had completed only two passes for nine yards.
For now, Kincaid remains in the game and healthy, with Buffalo hoping the passing attack can settle down and get him involved.

Bills Fans Have Every Reason To Be Furious Over That Flag
Buffalo fans had every right to bristle after Gregory Rousseau was flagged for roughing the passer on a hit against Justin Herbert, because the call landed right in the middle of the NFLs ongoing confusion over what, exactly, the league wants defenders to do. The roughing the passer rule, especially the so-called body weight standard, has been a source of irritation for years, and this one looked like the sort of play that leaves viewers wondering whether the officials are enforcing the rule as written or as interpreted in the moment.
The frustration only grows when a similar situation in another game involving Patrick Mahomes is part of the conversation, because inconsistency is what makes these penalties feel so hard to swallow. For the Bills, the issue is bigger than one flag. It is about a rule that can swing a drive, alter a game plan, and leave a defense feeling as if it is being asked to thread an impossible needle every time it gets near a quarterback. [Read more 🡒]
Bills Sit Atop The AFC For One Very Convincing Reason
Three weeks into the NFL season, the AFCs perfect teams are starting to separate, and Buffalo has clearly made the strongest early case. The Bills are one of three undefeated clubs left in the conference, alongside the Raiders and Chiefs, but theyve done enough already to stand above the group in the early pecking order.
What has set Buffalo apart is the way it has handled business on the field, with the performance of key players and the most recent game results giving the Bills the edge in this informal race. Kansas City and Las Vegas are still unbeaten, too, but for now the Bills sit atop the AFC for a reason that goes beyond the standings alone. [Read more 🡒]
Bills Have 48 Hours To Make One Tough Roster Decision
Phidarian Mathis is back on the Bills active roster after serving his suspension, and that return has put Buffalo on a short clock to sort out the numbers. The move gives the team 48 hours to make a matching roster decision, a familiar kind of late-summer bookkeeping that can quickly turn into a meaningful call for a club trying to keep depth intact on both sides of the ball.
The likeliest path appears to involve rookie guard Armaj Reed-Adams landing on injured reserve, which would open the necessary space without forcing Buffalo to part with one of its defensive linemen. DeWayne Carter and Mike Danna remain among the players the team seems inclined to keep in the fold, but until the Bills actually file the corresponding move, the roster picture stays unfinished.
