The Top TEs To Start in Week 2
Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars
Engram is in that middle tier of tight end that should be started weekly but never counted on for a matchup-changing performance. I have him ranked as TE5 because I trust him to be running routes in a game I think totals over 50 points.
He caught five balls for 49 yards against the Colts last week, a stat line that he could replicate in this spot (that was just one fantasy point away from ranking as TE4 for the week).
Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles
I sat on my couch last week while Goedert was on the field for 92.4% of Philadelphia’s offensive snaps, and yet … we remain tied on the NFL receiving leaderboard. Despite being on the field for the entire game, Goedert was able to shake loose for just one target and was a non-factor.

Hurts did a great job spreading the ball around when these two teams played a season ago. Brown, Smith, and Goedert (team-high 82 receiving yards) all caught at least five passes, while Quez Watkins produced the big play (53-yard TD). I’m expecting more of the same.
Savvy fantasy managers know to trust the process and not be impacted by any scar tissue occurring from a single poor performance. Goedert is a top-five TE for me this week, and I’d recommend forgiving him for his Week 1 sins.
