Dalton Kincaid vs George Kittle
Dalton Kincaid holds a 22.8% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/18/2026
THE CASE FOR KINCAID
Kincaid is 6 years younger and aligned with Josh Allen, giving him a longer dynasty runway at a position that can swing from scarce to replaceable quickly. His profile fits modern PPR usage (slot/over-the-middle volume), which can produce high weekly floors even if he’s not a TD-dependent TE. At a lower SF price than Kittle, he offers better insulation and potential value growth if he consolidates as Allen’s clear No. 2 target.
THE CASE FOR KITTLE
Kittle is still a difference-maker in TE premium weeks: elite efficiency, YAC, and multi-TD upside that can decide matchups when the 49ers’ offense funnels his way. Even at 32.8, his role is stable in a high-scoring ecosystem and he’s priced only ~11.9% above Kincaid, which is modest for the near-term edge. If you’re chasing a title, Kittle’s ceiling and proven weekly impact beat betting on a breakout curve.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take George Kittle—paying an 11.9% premium for the higher 2024–2025 win-rate at TE is worth it if you’re pushing chips in.
Take Dalton Kincaid—the age curve and value insulation make him the cleaner multi-year asset even if Kittle outscores short term.
If your roster is truly 50/50, lean Kincaid for liquidity and longevity unless you specifically need weekly TE spike weeks to contend.
