Fantasy Football Week 2 Tight End Rankings

The 2022-23 NFL season began last week which means so did fantasy football. After getting a taste of the NFL season last week, it is important not to overreact and make some risky moves when setting lineups for this week. For the first few weeks, fantasy managers should pay attention to trends that they see from teams that could shape the rest of the season. Here are fantasy football week 2 tight end rankings.

*Ratings are subject to change due to injury reports or possible move to reserve/COVID-19 list*

(Check out the section below for details on players already rumored to possibly miss this week and how their replacement options rank for the week)

Key:

Must Start- a player who is in your lineup regardless of the matchup or most circumstances. They Will likely finish near the top of the league in points that week and in most weeks.

Starting TE1- a player who makes fantasy owners comfortable starting week after week. Regardless of the matchup, this player has a solid floor.

TD Dependent Starter- a player who may not be a lock to start for a team every week, but will start more times than not because of depth at the position. Their production is based on whether they can get in the end zone or not. It can be the difference between a top 10 performance or top 25 performance

Deep League Starter- a player whose ceiling isn’t high but should put up enough production to be started in deep leagues. When a player like this is started it is because their production though it will likely be low, will be better than a few options.

Leave on the Bench- a player who should be avoided in all lineups that week. Many times this player could even be left on waivers.

Possible Changes that can occur before Sunday

TE3 George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers

George Kittle missed last week’s game against the Chicago Bears because of a groin issue. He did not practice Wednesday which is not a great sign for this weekend. If Kittle misses this week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks Ross Dwelley would step in as San Francisco’s starting tight end. But Dwelley should not be seen as anything more than a DFS dart throw.

TE8 Zach Ertz, Arizona Cardinals

Zach Ertz is still dealing with a calf issue. But he was able to suit up last week against the Kansas City Chiefs If he was to miss this week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders then rookie Trey McBride would become TE23 between Taysom Hill and David Njoku.

TE32 Brevin Jordan, Houston Texans

Brevin Jordan was limited in practice because of an ankle issue. If Jordan cannot play this week against the Denver Broncos then O.J. Howard boosts up to TE26 between Tyler Conklin and Mike Gesicki.
