Bills' Thursday Report: DJ Moore Trending Up, Dalton Kincaid's Chest a Worry
Moore logged a second straight limited practice ahead of Sunday, while Kincaid battles a chest issue. Here's what it means for your Week 8 lineups.
Two straight practices point to a Sunday game jersey against Baltimore.
- DJ Moore: 2nd straight limited practice Thursday
- Moore has 178 rec yds, 1 TD in 4 games (2026)
- Kincaid nursing a chest injury, status murky
- Ed Oliver full go after month-long knee issue
- Ray Davis out Thursday with an illness
Buffalo's Thursday practice report before Sunday's clash with the Ravens was a genuine mixed bag, but the two names fantasy managers care about are DJ Moore and Dalton Kincaid. Moore put in his second consecutive limited session, a solid signal he'll have a game jersey waiting Sunday. Kincaid, meanwhile, is dealing with a chest injury of uncertain severity — the only comfort being that it's not the knee that's hampered him before.
Moore has been a quiet piece of the Buffalo passing game so far, logging 12 catches for 178 yards and a touchdown across four games in 2026, worth 36 PPR points. He sits at WR33 in our rankings (#94 overall). Not a league-winner, but the practice trend matters: two limited days typically means a player is on track, not fading toward an inactive tag.
Kincaid's Cloudy Outlook
Kincaid is the trickier call. He's been Buffalo's clear fantasy tight end when healthy, posting 23 catches, 315 yards and a score (59 PPR points) through six games in 2026 — good for TE21, #143 overall. But his last five games have run 1.7 fantasy points below his season average, and now a chest injury muddies his Week 8 availability. That's a dangerous combination for a position where streaming options are plentiful.
The rest of the Buffalo report is depth-chart noise for fantasy purposes. Ed Oliver returned as a full participant after a month on the knee, Dee Alford couldn't go with his ankle, and Ray Davis missed practice with an illness — though Davis (RB82, 8 PPR points on the year) isn't on anyone's radar anyway and should clear it by Sunday. Spencer Brown sat a second straight day but claims he's just resting his back.
On the other sideline, Lamar Jackson keeps logging full practices, so pencil him into your lineup with zero hesitation. Jackson has racked up 81 PPR points in four games (QB18, #39 overall) and faces no injury cloud. Baltimore's bigger questions are on defense, where Roquan Smith and Kyle Hamilton both returned on a limited basis after Week 7 scares.
The Fantasy Call
Start DJ Moore with confidence — the back-to-back practices are the green light you wanted. Kincaid is the real decision: if you've got a reliable streaming tight end, lean that way until his chest injury clears, because the form trend and the uncertainty together aren't worth gambling on a flex-caliber TE. And Lamar? Lock him in, as always.
