Week 2 fantasy decisions hinge on risky rookies and tough matchups. Ward faces a stout Rams defense and a banged-up Titans line, making a solid-day unlikely—bench in most formats. Loveland remains a behind-Kmet stash for now, as Lions’ TE defense is among the best in 2024. Skattebo projects to a small role with limited upside against Dallas, while Jaxson Dart isn’t in the mix for Week 2. Monangai’s role is shrinking behind Swift and Roschon Johnson, and Ollie Gordon II’s Week 2 usage is uncertain. The Who Should I Start tool remains a cornerstone for four-player comparisons, while Week 2 buzz centers on a flood of Start/Sit prompts for Warren and friends.

Three rookie tight ends—Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, and Harold Fannin Jr.—shape Week 2 lineups. Warren’s Week 1 surge, with 7 catches on 9 targets for 76 yards and two red zone looks, anchors Indy as they host Denver. Loveland showed upside but was edged by Kmet, making Week 2 vs Detroit a potential wait-and-see for Bears’ tight end usage. Fannin Jr. flashed Week 1 with 7 receptions on 9 targets for 63 yards and a rush, giving Cleveland a high ceiling in a tricky Week 2 against Baltimore.

Rankings place Warren highest among the trio; Loveland and Fannin are mid-range options. The Week 2 Start tool helps refine starts based on matchup and snap data, guiding managers through the rookie tight end maelstrom and into smarter roster decisions.

Week 2 fantasy decisions center on a tight group of rookies and late-draft contributors: Quinshon Judkins, Matthew Golden, Harold Fannin Jr., Cam Ward, Tyler Warren, Elic Ayomanor, Jayden Higgins, Colston Loveland, Jaxson Dart, and Mason Taylor. The Who Should I Start tool lets you compare up to four players to decide who to start, with week-by-week matchups, injuries, and usage shaping each caller’s upside. Expect all ten to be part of owners’ deeper rosters, but beware rookie risk and volatile roles, which push several into “start if active” territory rather than automatic starts.

The Browns’ Ju nkins faces a Ravens defense that can clamp down; Golden’s ankle adds risk but a healthy slate boosts Thursday upside; Fannin Jr. and Ward offer Schottenheimer-era upside in TE/QB stacks; Ayomanor and Warren project as strong depth pieces in Tennessee and Indianapolis, while Higgins, Loveland, Dart, and Taylor swing between upside and spot starts depending on roles, weeks, and game scripts.
