Week 10 brought a delightful nostalgia for NFL fantasy managers as some of the most celebrated tight ends made a significant comeback. Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Mark Andrews, and T.J. Hockenson all finished as top-10 tight ends, reminding us of their former glory. For those who have been eagerly waiting for these elite players to return to form, it was a week to celebrate.
However, the tight end position this season has taught us one crucial lesson: inconsistency reigns supreme. Both Kelce and Andrews have had their fair share of disappointing performances, scoring fewer than five points on multiple occasions. While it’s encouraging to see some of the veterans back in action, fantasy managers need to stay vigilant and ready for anything.
Who are the best fantasy TEs for Week 11?
As we look ahead to Week 11, George Kittle stands out as a force to be reckoned with. He scored an impressive 14.7 points last week, solidifying his status as the TE1 of the season. Averaging over 15 points per game, Kittle is in a league of his own and is a must-start every week.
Travis Kelce, after a rocky start, is back among the elite tight ends. Thanks to the injury to Rashee Rice, Kelce has reclaimed his position as Patrick Mahomes’ favorite target. He has scored at least 20 PPR points in three consecutive weeks, and his momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
Brock Bowers is another name to watch. He’s one of the few tight ends who can compete with Kittle and Kelce at the top of the rankings. With a target share pushing 25 percent each week, Bowers has the ability to turn any reception into a big play, making him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups.

Who are the TEs on byes in Week 11?
As we prepare for Week 11, it’s essential to keep an eye on which tight ends are on bye.
- Arizona Cardinals: Trey McBride has emerged as a high-volume tight end, becoming a focal point of Arizona’s offense. Fantasy managers should hold onto him during his bye week.
- Carolina Panthers: Rookie J’Tavion Sanders has started to find his footing, averaging 9.0 PPR points over his last five games. He might be droppable for teams in a roster crunch.
- New York Giants: Theo Johnson has shown flashes but doesn’t play a significant enough role in the struggling Giants’ offense to warrant a roster spot.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cade Otton has stepped up as Baker Mayfield’s top target due to injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. He’s been scoring well and is worth holding onto.
What are the biggest TE injuries for Week 11?
Injuries are always a concern, especially as we head into the later weeks of the season. Dalton Kincaid left last week’s game with a knee injury, and while we await updates on his status, his availability for Week 11 remains uncertain. If he can’t go, expect Dawson Knox to see a significant uptick in his ranking, especially against a Chiefs defense that has struggled against tight ends.
Additionally, Sam LaPorta is dealing with a knee injury and has yet to practice this week. If he doesn’t show improvement by Thursday, we may have to remove him from the rankings entirely.
Who are the best fantasy TE waiver pickups for Week 11?
With injuries and bye weeks in play, it’s vital to explore the waiver wire. Tanner Hudson stepped up in the Cincinnati offense following an injury to rookie Erick All. He played 35 percent of snaps and received seven targets, scoring 16.3 PPR points. While this performance is promising, Hudson should only be considered in the deepest of leagues.
Who are the best fantasy TE sleepers for Week 11?
Looking for a sleeper? Pat Freiermuth could be a great option this week. The Ravens’ secondary has struggled, allowing an average of 294 passing yards per game, the highest in the league. A pass-heavy approach from the Steelers could lead to a productive outing for Freiermuth.
Will Dissly is another name to consider. He has quietly become a key piece of the Chargers’ offense, averaging 6.4 targets per game over the last five weeks. If you’re in a deep league and missing key players like Trey McBride or Cade Otton, Dissly could be a valuable addition.
As we gear up for Week 11, make sure to stay informed and adjust your lineups accordingly. The fantasy football landscape is ever-changing, and being proactive can make all the difference!
