Dalton Kincaid catches everything.

It felt like he’s trying to be knox there. Doesn’t need to be. 

If he were trying to be knox, I think he’d be lowering the shoulder and trying to batter the defender, no?

 

He had to pick his poison on the fumble.  Get real low real quick go head to head or do what he did.  Neither option would’ve been good for his health.

Now we just need him to stop trying to dive over every defender in his path.

His catch % is way too high to convince me he's trying to be like Knox 😆

Out of curiosity, I pulled up Reception leaders this year at the Tight End position vs Targets.

 

The numbers match the eye test. It looks like this:

 

 1. T.J. Hockenson 60 Receptions on 80 Targets -- 75%

 2. Travis Kelce 57 Receptions on 72 Targets -- 79%

 3. Evan Engram 51 Receptions on 61 Targets -- 84%

 4. Sam LaPorta 43 Receptions on 59 Targets -- 73%

 5. Mark Andrews 41 Receptions on 55 Targets -- 75%

 6. Cole Kmet 41 Receptions on 50 Targets -- 82%

 7. Dalton Kincaid 40 Receptions on 45 Targets -- 89%

 8. Dallas Goedert 38 Receptions on 52 Targets -- 73%

 9. Darren Waller 36 Receptions on 51 Targets -- 71%

 10. Jonnu Smith 34 Receptions on 42 Targets -- 81% 

 

Very happy that we're feeding him and we should continue to, because his reception rate is best in the entire position.

It’s kind of interesting how we have people crying about Sam LaPorta and actually Dalton has better stats and only three less catches
 

He hasn’t even been used that much by the end of the year it’s going to balance out

In defense of those people (I'm not one of them), this was a different story 3 weeks ago.

 

Through first 6 games:

Sam LaPorta -- 25 receptions for 289 yards and 3 TD

Dalton Kincaid -- 17 receptions for 118 yards and 0 TD

 

Their argument at the time was we're not using Dalton Kincaid enough and most would agree that they were correct.

Kincaid's production is going to fall off a cliff when Knox returns. This coaching staff strongly believes in given proven starters every advantage over young promising rookies. In spite of his production and the need for his high catch rate or the need for him in the offense, I am convinced McDermott will play Knox over Kincaid a lot in 11 personnel once he's back (I say McDermott and not our OC, as the tendency to play vets seems to come from our HC).

This is really interesting. Over the last 3 weeks Kincaid has had 

 

- 8 receptions for 75 yards

- 5 receptions for 65 yards

-10 receptions for 81 yards 

 

That averages 7.5 receptions and 73.5 yards per game.

 

If he were to match that average level of production over a 17 game season, it would amount to 130 receptions and 1,250 yards.

 

Not saying that he is or isn't. But if this three game stretch isn't an anomaly, then we're talking 1b type numbers. 

 

It remains to be scene what happens if / when defenses start game planning for him. But this is good progress for his development.

His catch % should be high for crying out loud, his air yards are among the lowest of the league.

It SHOULD be easier to catch a pass thrown 3 yards beyond the LOS.

After the last couple games his air yards have grown from around 3 to 4.4, so the difficulty is starting to go up lol.

But yes it is nice to see someone besides Stephon being able to catch the ball. And its nice to finally see Kincaid being used more than 3 yards down the field.
