Week 1 at the tight end position was a wild one! Are you ready for more in Week 2? Tight end is always an important spot to figure out, and since teams use the position in different ways, players have a wide variance of production. In this post, you can find my top 15 TE Rankings for week 2.
In a zany Week 1, star options Brock Bowers (15.3 FPTS) and George Kittle (12.5 FPTS) both had good games before leaving early with injuries, while Juwan Johnson (15.6 FPTS) had the biggest overall total at tight end but dropped a potential game-tying touchdown against the Cardinals.
Rookies Tyler Warren (14.9 FPTS) and Harold Fannin Jr. (13.6 FPTS) both had big games in their NFL debuts, while Noah Fant (12.6 FPTS) and Jonnu Smith (12.5 FPTS) each found the end zone for their new teams.
Which of those options can you trust in Week 2? To help you set your lineups each week, check out my position rankings each Monday at DK Network. You can find them on my author page, if all the other awesome content bumps them down the page. Since these rankings are released on Monday, anything that changes throughout the week will need to be adjusted. In this post, I went with the assumption that both Kittle and Bowers will play in Week 2. If news comes out otherwise, stay tuned to DK Network for all the analysis you need to adjust accordingly.
Here are my top 15 tight ends that I would start in Week 2:
- Brock Bowers (vs. LAC) — if healthy
- Trey McBride (vs. CAR)
- Travis Kelce (vs. PHI)
- George Kittle (at NO) — if healthy
- Sam LaPorta (vs. CHI)
- Tyler Warren (vs. IND)
- David Njoku (at BAL)
- T.J. Hockenson (vs. ATL)
- Jake Ferguson (vs. NYG)
- Kyle Pitts Sr. (at MIN)
- Juwan Johnson (vs. SF)
