Fantasy Football Week 11 Te Preview Who To Start Sit Stream And Dfs
The tight end position continues to be entertaining, if not reliable. This week, in things we didn't think we would ever be saying, it sure looks like Cade Otton and Dalton Schultz are both must-start tight ends. In my early Week 11 projections, they both project as top five tight ends. In our early Week 11 tight end consensus rankings, they are both in the top eight. What could go wrong? That question is probably easier to answer for Schultz.
The last time we got really excited about starting Schultz, he scored 4.4 PPR Fantasy points. We all felt ashamed and immediately dropped him in the rankings. We should have ignored it. In his last two games he has averaged 16 PPR Fantasy points. In fact, Week 8 is the only game in his last five that he has scored less than 10 PPR Fantasy points. His matchup against the Titans doesn't look great on paper, but we are starting him anyway.
Otton is an easier case to make. With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out, Baker Mayfield doesn't have much choice to throw to Otton. He had 12 targets last week and has 37 in his last five games. His low point total in that stretch is eight PPR Fantasy points. Like Schultz, Otton has a bad matchup on paper, but you aren't going to find anyone on the waiver wire who we like better. We are not just starting the hot hand at tight end.
We are going back to ice cold Jake Ferguson coming off a bye, we're starting Travis Kelce against a defense that has erased Ferguson and Brock Bowers in recent weeks, and we are ignoring... The one guy we don't want to start is T.J. Hockenson, he is not a top 15 tight end for any of our rankings. Here's everything else you need to know about tight end in Week 11: As we roll into Week 11, the Week 11 Fantasy Football Player Rankings Tiers show how unpredictable things can get at QB, RB, WR, TE. Some quarterbacks are trending up while others are fighting through tougher matchups and inconsistent production.
At wide receiver, target volume and role continue shifting week to week, creating a mix of steady options and players who are tougher to trust.

Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End Josh Allen | Buffalo BillsThe Bills have dropped three of their last five, including an ugly loss to Miami in Week 10, yet Josh Allen still posted a top-10 fantasy finish. Tied with Patrick Mahomes for QB1 in points per game, Allen remains nearly matchup-proof.
Tampa Bay ranks fifth against QBs since Week 6 and just held Drake Maye to his worst completion rate of the year, but Buffalo carries the highest implied team total of Week 11. Allen’s ceiling remains elite. Lamar Jackson | Baltimore RavensStill ramping up after a three-game hamstring absence, Lamar Jackson has just 50 rushing yards on 14 carries over the last two games. Cleveland ranks seventh against QBs, making this another tough spot. But with Baltimore fighting for playoff position and Jackson regaining rhythm, his dual-threat ceiling is unmatched. Let's break down the key usage notes and matchups that are driving our Week 11 TE Rankings.
Find out who to start in fantasy football with our 'Who To Start?' tool. McBride’s big Week 10 marked the second time in three games that he drew 13 targets and caught at least nine balls. He has scored in each of QB Jacoby Brissett’s four starts this season. WR Marvin Harrison Jr.’s absence (appendicitis) should only further emphasize his role against a soft 49ers defense. Bowers had his worst NFL game last week, but should rebound in a hurry. The Raiders are implied to score 23.5 points, which is tied for 12th-most in Week 11.
Bowers leads Las Vegas with a 25% target share, but that figure is down due to his being limited by a knee injury in the first half of the season. He's healthy now, as indicated by his massive Week 9 showing. The Cowboys are middle-of-the-pack, allowing 13.8 PPR points per game to TEs, but Bowers is an elite fantasy option in a game that carries the highest total of the slate. Just when we all started worrying that Kittle’s hamstring injury continued to limit his effectiveness, he ripped off a 9-84-1 receiving line against the Rams. Barring some terrible downturn, that reminder of his upside should be enough to keep him a weekly starter going forward. Start em or sit em?
Fantasy football start or sit decisions can be excruciating. While it feels great to make the right call and cruise to fantasy glory, it hurts just as much when you have someone erupt while on your bench. You can use our Who Should I Start? tool to gauge advice from fantasy football experts as you make your lineup decisions. And you can also sync your fantasy football league for free using our My Playbook tool for custom advice, rankings and analysis. Let’s take a look at a few polarizing players and what fantasy football expert Derek Brown advises.
And you can find all of DBro’s fantasy football outlook in this week’s fantasy football primer. Kyle Pitts is the TE15 in fantasy points per game with four TE1 outings this season. Pitts has a 19.8% target share with 46.7 receiving yards per game, 1.49 yards per route run, and a 17.8% first-read share. He has five red zone targets and four deep targets. Pitts has a wonderful matchup this week against a Carolina defense that has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards, the second-highest yards per reception, and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. He could easily post his fifth TE1 outing this week.
Last week, with Cole Kmet back in the lineup, Loveland led the way with a 51.2% route share, but he only had an 11.1% target share with 55 receiving yards and an 8.7% first-read... With that type of usage, he’s only a low-end steaming option this week. Loveland is tied for third on the team in red zone targets (four) while also seeing two deep targets. Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards and the tenth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. Zach Ertz is the TE16 in fantasy points per game with two TE1 weeks this season. Ertz has two deep targets and five red zone targets this season.
Ertz has a 17.3% target share with 34.5 receiving yards per game, 1.40 yards per route run, and a 20.5% first-read share. Ertz is a strong streaming option this week at tight end. Miami has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards per game, the seventh-highest yards per reception, and the third-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
