Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Texans. He's yet to practice since going down in Week 10, so we'd consider him iffy to make it back for Week 13's meeting with the Steelers. TE Dawson Knox has registered 77% and 85% route rates in the two games Kincaid has missed this season, although he's totaled just five targets on a 9% share across those two games. WRs Curtis Samuel (elbow, neck) and Mecole Hardman (calf) have also been ruled out for Week 12.
