Jordan Cameron, Tyler Eifert and Jordan Reed. Though that trio could pass as names in the next great country band, they're actually a group that left you scrounging through the waiver wire for tight end replacements. Fortunately, there are a few ideal sleeper options that could help you survive Week 2.
Fantasy football sleepers, Week 2: Tight ends
Dealing with injuries at the tight end position? You aren’t the only one. Here are some names that should help you in Week 2.

During their second play from the goal line, New York lined the 6'6 Donnell out wide and threw it to him on a fade route. It failed. Even so, it took only one more play before attempting that same fade again. Except this time, it resulted in a touchdown. The Giants love Donnell, and with another juicy matchup against the most generous defense in the league for opposing tight ends, expect Donnell to produce a monster day.
Jay Cutler loves him some Bennett and that held true in Week 1. After all, during the weeks Cutler played last season, Bennett failed to finish in the top 12 among tight ends only twice. His production against the 49ers should only top his performance from last week, especially with Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery riddled with injuries. TE1 could be in his future.
I know, I know. He burned you last week and you're scared to go back. But the fact remains that Kelce stood out as the Chiefs' most athletic receiver, falling only a few inches shy of a red zone touchdown. Donnie Avery might continue to catch all the underneath passes, but Kelce should flourish against the Broncos. You just need to trust him.
