The tight end rankings have shifted at the top, as players like Tyler Warren, Tucker Kraft and Juwan Johnson have busted into the top 12. Jake Ferguson is also moving up at the position after his huge game against the Giants. The veteran also has a great matchup next in what should be a high-scoring game against the Bears at Soldier Field.

On the flip side, veterans like T.J. Hockenson and Mark Andrews have tumbled due to very slow starts, weakening a position that is already thin with George Kittle out of action.

With that said, here are my fantasy tight end rankings for Week 3. Be sure to check back all week for daily updates! Also check out my full player rankings for each position, including flex.
