Top TEs To Start in Week 2
Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens
The hope is that the quad injury that cost Andrews Week 1 isn’t the type of thing that lingers. And as long as the Ravens are comfortable in playing him, fantasy football managers should be too.
Andrews has seen at least 10 targets in each of his past three games against the division-rival Bengals, and he should be heavily relied upon in his season debut. Don’t get cute here.
Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons
The concerns for Pitts are identical to those of his teammate, Drake London, but the TE position has a lower bar to clear. Pitts is like a 50-degree day in the northeast in early March.

“That’ll work! It’s a little better than seasonable and a nice break from the winter we just went through.“
London is like a 50-degree day in May.
“What is this nonsense? I thought we were getting close to summer.”

You see? The same output can be viewed through two different lenses depending on expectations. By no means was Pitts a star in Week 1 (two catches for 44 yards), but him hauling in a 34-yard bomb in double coverage was enough of a spark to keep fantasy managers reasonably interested.
That’s not to say he should be locked into lineups — he’s TE11 for me this week. But due to the position he plays, Pitts simply cannot be dismissed the same way London can.
