Week 2 fantasy tight end rankings: Top TE streamers, starts

Week 2 is here, and the tight end position already delivered plenty of fantasy football takeaways.

Dallas Goedert reminded managers why he was a popular mid-round target with a big Week 1 performance, while Dalton Kincaid provided an encouraging sign for his 2026 outlook with his snap share and route participation finishing higher than any single week last season. That kind of usage is exactly what fantasy managers want to see and could lead to a potential breakout season for the Bills tight end.

Then there’s Isaiah Likely, who rewarded anyone who waited on the position during draft season with a strong return on investment right out of the gate.

But not every tight end delivered in Week 1. Colston Loveland finished with zero fantasy points, a disappointing

start for managers who invested in his upside. Still, there’s no reason to panic after one game, especially given the talent and opportunity that made him an appealing draft-day pick. As we look ahead to Week 2, here are our latest tight end rankings.
