Who will be 2nd in targets?

[Royale with Cheese]

The order in the poll is my order for the targets after Diggs.

 

I think Kincaid is going to be Josh's new safety blanket, like the comparisons to Beasley's targets but bigger and probably adds more in the redzone. 

He will be more reliable than Davis IMO.

I would pump the breaks on Kincaid being number 2 in targets.....I would not say its not possible but it is not likely.   Rookie TE's in general dont perform that way and I get he is kind of a slot TE.  The favorite for #2 in targets should be Gabe Davis.

Davis surprises people this year. there was more to his injury status last year than has gotten out. come back year. same for Brown at T. 

[Big Turk]

Davis. He is still a big part of the offense and I think of his ankles stay healthy should have a big season.

I think it will start out that way but by midseason, just my feeling, Kincaid starts rolling.

I hope it’s Kincaid but that may not happen until year 2-  but he still get my vote because he’s the best middle of the field target

I don’t see Diggs… if this new guy is supposed to be Kelce then shouldn’t he be #1? 🤷‍♂️

I could see a world in which Kincaid just crushes it, but at the end of the day, he's a rookie... and a rookie TE at that (although yes, maybe more of a slot).  

 

I think the safe bet is Kincaid opens things up more for Davis, and in a contract year, we see if he's worth giving an extension to.

It seems Davis has ankle issues every year

[Virgil]

This is so hard because of the rotation we run.  I would say Knox, but Kincaid is definitely going to eat into his snaps.  

 

I feel like Davis has to be the answer

I think the bigger question is who will be 3rd.  I might have to go with Shakir and then  Knox and Kincaid.  If Shakir takes over the old Beasley stuff plus plays outside for Davis and Diggs on occasion I think he could see a lot of targets.  If Knox and Kincaid both catch between 40 and 60 balls I'd consider that a win compared to Knox and Morris/Sweeney.  If Kincaid catches 40 balls I'll be happy.  Sixty or more and I'll start listening to talk about him being the next Kelce or something of that ilk. 

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Went with Davis. 
 

Logic being: (1) Kincaid and Knox figure to cancel each other out some & (2) no Hopkins option.

[Brand J]

Can’t vote for a TE until I see Josh start to look their way more often.

[UKBillFan]

Diggs. Josh will remain upset with him so, until a counselling session during the bye, he won't see the ball.

*Other  Hopkins 😎😅

I think that the answer is Davis. 

 

I tend to believe Brandon Beane's words about having faith in Davis. 

 

Also - expecting big numbers from any rookie tight end is definitely a reach. Kincaid can be in the dream process of developing into a generational talent at TE - yet still have somewhat muted stats in his rookie year. Would not expect him to be #2 in targets next season.

Kincaid and Cook will get a lot of targets in the passing game.

They will if Dorsey is calling the game right.

There's a remote chance that Shorter actually eats into Davis' targets.

[strive_for_five_guy]

Davis averaged over 6/game in 2022, Knox just over 4/game.  Don’t see Knox surpassing Davis in 2023 now that we have Kincaid, and Kincaid will be lucky to have more targets than Knox given that he is a rookie and will be new to the offense.  A Davis injury is the only thing that should keep him from being #2 in targets again.
