Welcome again to the weekly NSFL rankings! It is late where I am, so I apologize for any spelling or grammar errors. As usual, keep in mind that these rankings are based on play and only play, other factors like TPE are not taken into account. With that in mind, here are our rankings!
#1 George Wright Jr., Orange County Otters

@Player1
George Wright Jr. has slowly been creeping up in these rankings, due to his consistency and blocking ability. In this week, which was a bad week for most tight ends, Wright remained consistent and did his job. Wright's shift from simply and blocker to a legitimate receiving option is a story in itself. Wright averaged 7.8 yards, indicating that he was more than just a checkdown option. As per usual for him, he pancaked defenders as much as any other tight end in the NSFL. Wright has been a bright spot in an offense that has had many issues in the past two weeks.
#2 Rolf Larsendorf, Yellowknife Wraiths

@HazardouSpork
Throughout the making of these rankings, I've grown an increasing respect for blocking tight ends. Particularly ones who can catch in some capacity too. Rolf Larsendorf is exactly that: a tight end who can catch in some capacity. His catching capacity is nothing to scoff at though. Larsendorf hasn't dropped a pass since the regular season started, and is currently on a 9 straight streak. I haven't checked, but I'm sure that's one of the most consistent in the league. Larsendorf also managed to notch up 3 pancake blocks, displaying his impressive blocking ability.
#3 Ricky Maddox, Yellowknife Wraiths

@SimmerDownBruhh
I wanted to rank Maddox a little higher, but the two sacks allowed kinda turned me off a little. Maddox lead all tight ends in week 3 in both receptions and yards, and only dropped a single pass. Not a great game in terms of blocking for him, however. Maddox didn't have a single pancake block, and allowed two sacks. The two sacks thing is really weird to me. I wasn't even really sure that tight ends could allow sacks, but I guess they can. Maddox will certainly use this performance to improve for next week.
#4 Gabriel Tenzini, Baltimore Hawks

@princekyle
There's really just one word that epitomizes Gabriel Tenzini, reliable. Tenzini caught every pass he got his hands on in week 2, proving he is a reliable target in the passing game. Tenzini didn't allow a single sack in week 2, and created an opportunity for his team by having a pancake block, proving he is a reliable blocker for his team. Need I go on? Any Baltimore quarterback or running back will be happy to have a tight end that they can rely on.
#5 Joseph Tkachuk, Arizona Outlaws

@Theo667
"Who?" You might be thinking. Tkachuk, the only tight end on the Arizona Outlaws. I hadn't ranked Tkachuk on any of my lists previously because he hadn't really had much of an impact in any facet of the game. In week 2 however, he garnered some notice through his two pancake blocks. Tkachuk is sold as a balanced tight end, but his play is more of that of a blocking tight end, as he is a solid blocker, but does not do much else.
#7 Break Bottles,

@Blake Bortles
After the preseason, Bottles was sold as some kind of star player. However, he hasn't really lived up to that hype. In week 2, Bottles had a pretty bad game. He had 4 drops and two catches, which is not a good track record for a primarily receiving tight end. In addition to that , Bottles had a couple penalties on him, costing the team 19 combined yards. While not allowing any sacks, Bottles also had no pancake blocks. Really not a strong game for someone thought to be strong player.
Honorable Mention:
Mark Hargrove (Colorado Yeti, @Viktor1980): Feels weird not ranking him, as he is a starting tight end who had a previously large impact. After a strong showing in week 1, Hargrove completely disappeared in week 2, with zeroes all across the board.
Thank you for reading my ranking. These Rankings are being compiled to create a season ranking, so if you haven't seen the previous ones, be sure to do so!
