Here are the Week 2 tight end rankings to consider.
12. Mark Andrews – Ravens
Andrews remains a reliable option for Baltimore and quarterback Lamar Jackson. He isn’t typically a top-five finisher, but he’s consistently a factor. In Week 1, he posted four receptions for 49 yards. In Week 2, he has a favorable home matchup against New Orleans, with a likely chance to reach the end zone.
11. Tyler Warren – Colts
Warren recorded just three catches for 13 yards in Week 1. The Colts face a tough test against Kansas City, and usage may be limited if the game script stays competitive against a high-powered offense.
10. Evan Engram – Broncos
Engram was a bright spot for Denver in Week 1, finishing with four receptions for 43 yards and a receiving touchdown. Denver hosts Jacksonville in Week 2, and Engram should remain a meaningful part of their ball-control approach.
9. Colston Loveland – Bears
Loveland had an unusually quiet Week 1, notching zero yards on two targets. Week 2 brings a divisional matchup against Minnesota, a game that could spark Loveland’s involvement as the Bears aim to gain early momentum in the division race.
8. Trey McBride – Cardinals
McBride delivered a strong Week 1 showing with nine receptions on 13 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown. The Week 2 challenge comes against Seattle, a tougher matchup that may temper his production but still keeps him in the mix.
7. Isaiah Likely – Giants
Likely made a strong impression after moving to New York, catching all eight targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1. He faces a difficult road game against the Rams in Week 2, which nudges him down slightly on this list but he remains a high-upside play.
6. Sam LaPorta – Lions
LaPorta was a steady contributor in Week 1 with five targets for 48 yards. He faces a tougher trek at Buffalo, a defense that can limit production, but Detroit’s offense remains potent enough to keep LaPorta in the mix.
5. George Kittle – 49ers
Kittle had an underwhelming Week 1, with just two receptions for 12 yards. Returning home and facing a favorable matchup against Miami on the West Coast gives him a chance to rebound with a more productive showing.
4. Hunter Henry – Patriots
Henry contributed modestly in Week 1, but his role could grow in Week 2’s home opener against Pittsburgh. With questions surrounding the Patriots’ passing game, Henry could be a reliable target, especially if the offense leans on him to move the chains.
3. Travis Kelce – Chiefs
Kelce remains a premier fantasy option. In Week 1 he logged three receptions for 71 yards (no touchdowns), and a strong showing is anticipated against the Colts on Sunday night, where he should see ample targets from Patrick Mahomes.
2. Dallas Goedert – Eagles
Goedert was a standout in Week 1, tying for the lead among tight ends with two touchdowns and adding four receptions for 77 yards. With additional targets opening up as the Eagles adjust to the absence of some key receivers, Goedert is a primary option for quarterback Jalen Hurts. Week 2 features a road game against a defensively weaker Tennessee unit, reinforcing his fantasy appeal.
1. Dalton Kincaid – Bills
Kincaid burst onto the scene in Week 1, piling up 130 receiving yards on five receptions. He’s a major target for Josh Allen and is set to be featured heavily again this week, especially with a high-scoring matchup anticipated against Detroit.
Notes for Week 2:
– Juggling multiple receiving options can shift usage, so monitor target shares as the season progresses.
– Matchups matter: defenses that allow tight ends to flourish can elevate a TE1’s ceiling.
– Injury news and offensive game plans can quickly change upside, so stay updated on any late-week developments.
This Week’s forecast suggests top-tier upside for Dalton Kincaid, Dallas Goedert, and Travis Kelce, with solid potential from Evan Engram, George Kittle, and Sam LaPorta in favorable matchups. As always, stay tuned to late-week reports for any changes that could influence lineups and projections.
