Dalton Kincaid or T.J. Hockenson: Who should I start for Week 10 Fantasy Football

Dalton Kincaid and T.J. Hockenson owners have had no choice but to use Kincaid this season. However, with Hockenson back in the fold, managers have a decision to make. Should they ride with the reliable but lower-ceiling tight end or go all-in on the tight end that racked up nearly 1,000 yards last season? Here's a look at both players and a recommendation.

The bar is set lower for tight end than arguably every other position in fantasy football as a position group. However, that doesn't mean the group should be ignored as a potential source of points.

According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, Kincaid is due to earn just over ten points this week against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts defense has been suspect this season and Kincaid, the starting tight end for the Bills, is set to have a productive day. He is worth starting as a tight end, but don't expect miracles.

Is T.J. Hockenson a good pick in Week 10?

T.J. Hockenson lit up defenses at a level previously unseen last year. However, he is still looking for his first fantasy-worthy performance this season. Hockenson earned just 27 yards in his season debut last week, setting an ominous tone for fantasy managers.

Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer predicts a performance that should relieve stress for managers, but it won't set the world on fire. He is projected to earn ten points against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The matchup is juicy but considering he hasn't popped yet this season, the move could be risky.

Whom should I start between Dalton Kincaid and T.J. Hockenson in Week 10?

Dalton Kincaid gets the nod for Week 10

When it comes to these two tight ends, an old adage applies: "One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Meaning, the more demonstrably reliable tight end this season, Dalton Kincaid, is better suited this week.

That said, the differences are razor-thin in their projections this week. Kincaid is set to earn 10.8 points while Hockenson is due for 10.0 points. Perhaps if you are in a desperate situation where you need an explosive tight-end performance, go with Hockenson. However, if you are within 5% of a 50% probability of victory, go with Kincaid.
