Hunter Henry Is the TE1, and Other Week 1 Absurdities: Week 2 Tight End Streamers

Neil Dutton
September 12, 2023

Yeah, I know. Week 1 was ugly across the board in fantasy football. I am drowning in an underwhelmed sea. The tight end spot was, as usual, no exception. But seriously, if Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews both miss a game, the overall picture will not be pretty.

But we go again.

With Week 2 fast on the horizon, I offer three names to plug into your fantasy lineups at the TE spot. And I’m feeling so generous that I will take those three names and make it four. I can’t say fairer than that, dear reader. I really can’t.

Players are available in at least 50% of ESPN PPR leagues. Stats do not include players from Monday Night Football
