Our local analysts have continued to call for more Dalton Kincaid - the number of passes thrown his way, using him down the field. Nate Geary just made that case twice in the last week, once on the Joe Marino podcast, the other on Bills-49ers pregame.
Is this just to justify the 1st-Round pick in their minds? Because in the 2-1/2 games that he's been out, Dawson Knox has done in 2-catches/game what Dalton Kincaid takes 4 catches to do (2.66 catches, 45.3 yards).
The average Kincaid game so far in 26 games is 4.11 catches for 39.5 yards.
So why this call to force more Kincaid? Do fans think there is another level to unlock, or is he a good possession Tight End?
I understand Allen has missed Kincaid down the field this season, so does that make up the difference? Does any of this drop in catch % fall on Kincaid not being fast enough to get down the field?
