Early Week 2 Half-PPR Tight End Rankings for Fantasy Football: Sam LaPorta, Hunter Henry, Hayden Hurst, Luke Musgrave, more

Early Week 2 fantasy football tight end rankings for half-PPR scoring, as of September 14, 2023. Set winning lineups with our Week 2 ranks for fantasy football and the 2023 NFL season.

Welcome back RotoBallers to our updated Week 2 tight end rankings for fantasy football as of September 14th! What a wild week it was for tight ends. The top two fantasy tight ends heading into 2023 fantasy drafts, Travis Kelce (knee) and Mark Andrews (quad), were both ruled out for Week 1 -- leaving managers of Kelce and Andrews scrambling to the waiver wire to find a replacement. We're here to help you sort through the Week 2 questions, and help make all the right lineup decisions.

Our half-PPR fantasy football tight end rankings are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.

Bookmark our main fantasy football rankings page and check back regularly for updates. You can read our daily fantasy football articles for waiver wire pickups, starts/sits, sleepers and so much more. Be sure to download our free mobile app and setup your alerts. We deliver all the top NFL news, injuries, and fantasy analysis 24x7 with our free push notification alerts!
