To help you get down that path and reach the ultimate goal, here are my fantasy tight end player rankings for Week 1.There aren't many surprises at the top of the position because the opening week is not the time to get cute. However, we’re still waiting on reports on George Kittle, who is coming back from a torn Achilles and could play Thursday night in Australia.
