Is Dalton Kincaid Playing Today? (Latest Injury Update for Utah vs. USC in PAC-12 Championship)
By Reed Wallach
Dalton Kincaid is one of the most impactful tight ends in the country despite not being a finalist for the Mackey Award. The tight end has hauled in 66 on 87 targets, both the second highest nationally.
Kincaid got banged up at the end of Utah's win against Colorado last week, leaving his status in question for the Utes PAC-12 Championship game against USC. Kincaid was a monster in the team's first win against the Trojans, catching 16 passes 234 yards. Will he be on the field Friday night?
Here's the latest on the Utes star tight end:
Latest Dalton Kincaid Injury Update
Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham is expecting Kincaid to pay, and while he won't guarantee he will, he doesn't believe that this injury is enough to hold out the team's best pass catcher.
Whittingham says he expects Dalton Kincaid to play.

Backtracked a tad, saying it's not a guarantee, but indications through the weekend have been that Kincaid's injury on Saturday was not serious.
Kincaid was 16-234-1 in the first USC game.
It's worth noting that Whittingham said that this was a new injury for Kincaid instead of a shoulder injury that has bothered him during the season, including against USC earlier this season.
Forgot to mention that Whittingham said Dalton Kincaid’s injury was not to his already hurt shoulder, and he believes the new injury wasn’t anything serious based on the early diagnosis.

Here's some clips from the first game, a 43-42 thriller in Salt Lake City, in which Kincaid went off. He is immense to the Utes passing game and has to be on the field for Utah to have a chance.
I think Utah TE Dalton Kincaid has a good chance to be a better fantasy TE than Michael Mayer.
