Week 1 fantasy pivots around three tight ends: Kraft, Kincaid, and Henry. Kraft could surge into TE1 in Green Bay if Jayden Reed sits, offering juicy target upside in a likely high-scoring opener against Detroit. Kincaid faces a tough Ravens defense, and early blockers may limit his snaps, making him more of a desperation TE2 in shallower leagues. Henry brings a reliable floor for New England, especially in PPR formats, as Drake Maye grows into his rookie year and Henry remains a trusted outlet.

Trust these three as Week 1 anchors only if you’re chasing upside with Kraft, or seeking floor relief with Henry; Kincaid remains situational, contingent on blockers and matchup. Monitor late injuries and depth chart shifts, but these three scenarios shape many Week 1 rosters.

Buffalo hosts Baltimore in Week 1, a marquee clash of two MVP QBs and top offenses. Buffalo targets tempo with Dalton Kincaid, Keon Coleman, Josh Palmer, and James Cook, while Allen seeks comfort against Baltimore’s defense.

Baltimore counters with Derrick Henry and a rugged front, aiming to slow Buffalo’s pace and force tough, clock-eating drives. The game carries seeding and home-field implications, making early fantasy production pivotal.

Fantasy takeaway: lean Bills pass-catchers and Cook; Kincaid’s role grows with the new weapons, while Baltimore’s run game and Henry may temper upside for Buffalo’s backfield in Week 1.

Week 1 tight ends hinge on usage and TD upside. Njoku reunites with Flacco in Cleveland for a Bengals shootout, offering a clear ceiling if the Browns lean into the air.

Week 1 fantasy TE outlook centers on Njoku, Loveland, Kincaid, Engram, Henry, Hockenson, Ertz, Andrews, Pitts, LaPorta, and Smith. Njoku faces Cincinnati at home as Flacco rekindles old chemistry, while Loveland’s early snaps raise risk for a Week 1 start. Kincaid carries upside vs a stout Ravens defense; Engram lands in Denver with a budding target profile. Andrews, Hockenson, Ertz, Pitts, LaPorta, and Smith project as solid Week 1 options, with usage and matchup driving varying ceilings.
