The first two weeks of the fantasy football season are in the books, and with them have come more than their fair share of surprising statistical player developments.
Big-name tight ends such as Colston Loveland, Tucker Kraft, Kyle Pitts Sr. and Harold Fannin Jr. have had slow starts in the stat sheets, while upstart pass catchers like Dalton Kincaid and Isaiah Likely have outplayed their preseason expectations early in the new campaign.
With two weeks of data—it’s not a lot, but it’s a start—the value of players and their upcoming fantasy matchups, favorable or unfavorable, has begun to take shape. You’ll see that in this week’s rankings: a few players you picked as borderline starters or backups have moved up (hello, Kincaid and Likely), while projected starters like Loveland, Kraft, and Pitts Sr. have moved down. They’re still in the fantasy starters range, but much lower on the list.
So, here are my fantasy tight end rankings as we head into Week 3. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out!
