Fantasy Football TE Rankings Week 2: Who to start, best sleepers, top busts
See how The Sporting News ranks fantasy tight ends for Week 2 lineups.
Week 2 of the 2026 fantasy season brought surprises at the tight end position. Trey McBride led the charge with a strong performance against Seattle, while Dalton Kincaid and Isaiah Likely also made strong cases for higher rankings. However, some well-known players underperformed, such as Kyle Pitts who only saw one target and scored no points despite running 21 routes.
Injury status is a key factor this week, with Brock Bowers missing Week 1 due to a knee injury. If he returns, he could be near the top of the tight end rankings. If he remains out, Michael Mayer is a promising option to consider. Mayer was heavily involved in Week 1, leading the Raiders with seven targets and running 23 routes.
Other notable mentions include Dallas Goedert and Dallas Goedert, who both had solid performances. However, keeping an eye on potential busts like Travis Kelce and Jake Ferguson is crucial.
