The Top TEs To Start in Week 2
Hunter Henry, TE, New England Patriots
Hunter Henry was one of my favorite players to target in drafts coming into the year, and it’s playing out even better than I anticipated. Henry has now scored in back-to-back weeks and will finish as a top-five option at the position for fantasy for both games.
Great feel from Hunter Henry on the TD. Engaged with a defender but eventually slides off and reels in a well-placed throw from Mac on the run. 17-10 #Dolphins with 11:21 to play. pic.twitter.com/ifk9ZWgCB3

Moving forward, Henry has done enough to now be in your starting lineups week after week, especially at the TE position when you’re praying for points in your starting lineup.
Sam LaPorta, TE, Detroit Lions
Sam LaPorta has now done enough in his first two NFL games to warrant top-10 consideration at the TE position for fantasy football. He’s seen 11 targets up to this point and will finish as a TE1 for both weeks.

In a matchup in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons, LaPorta should be in your starting lineups in a plus matchup.
