Start or sit Tucker Kraft in fantasy Week 2?Tucker Kraft is a definite start for fantasy football Week 2.
He was a surefire TE1 heading into the season, and he remains there for this Thursday matchup.
Kraft is the fastest tight end in the NFL based on his top sprint speed last year, and the Packers look for different ways to get him the football.
In Vinnie Iyer's weekly Start 'Em, Sit 'Em column on this website, Kraft is his No. 6 TE for the week. Lock him into your lineups, ahead of Ertz if that's the decision you have.
Start or sit Zach Ertz in fantasy Week 2?Zach Ertz is a borderline start in fantasy football Week 2.
It's very possible you have a better tight end in standard leagues, but Ertz is the 14th and final TE that Iyer lists in his start list.
This is probably a TD-dependent play, but Jayden Daniels does indeed look Ertz's way near the goal line.
A couple of the less obvious guys that Iyer ranks ahead of Ertz this week are Brenton Strange and Hunter Henry, in case that's the call you're making.
