Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Proven TE in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
HoldKincaid caught 16 passes for 277 yards in 2026, ranking TE12 through 5 games. He's 27 — that's peak TE age, not a wait-and-see profile. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
