Week 11 Tight End Rankings Analysis
A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks for key options in Week 11, which gives readers a matchup preview of that player and advice on whether you should start or avoid for the upcoming week. We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.
Dalton Kincaid, TE, Buffalo Bills
Week 11 Overall PPR Rankings: 59
Week 11 Tight End PPR Rankings: 5
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is experiencing a meteoric rise over the last month of action, churning out 15.5 full-PPR fantasy points or better in each of his past four weeks. Kincaid didn't attain a single double-digit effort in any of the prior five games he played. This rapid jump in productivity can be partly attributed to the absence of veteran Dawson Knox (wrist, IR), who is still not eligible to return until Week 12.
The strength of the New York Jets' defense lies on the perimeter with their relentless secondary, leaving them vulnerable in the interior. Kincaid may continue to wreak havoc in Sunday's divisional matchup since Gang Green's defense has been smashed for the most touchdowns given up to TEs (six) in the NFL. The first-round rookie has every-week TE1 written all over him until Knox makes his return to Buffalo's lineup.
Cole Kmet, TE, Chicago Bears
Week 11 Overall PPR Rankings: 89
Week 11 Tight End PPR Rankings: 12
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is coming off a more average production in Week 10, posting five catches on seven targets for 45 yards. Justin Fields (hand) was a full participant on Wednesday and will likely return to action after missing four games. The Notre Dame alum has had big games regardless of the quarterback, as he posted two touchdown games with both Fields and Tyson Bagent. The ceiling of the Bears' passing attack and overall offense increases, however, making Kmet a more reliable play.
The Bears take on the Lions in Week 11, who allow the 10th most points per game to tight ends this season. With an offense that should have more success driving down the field, Kmet is a solid play in Detroit in Week 11. Fantasy managers can expect Kmet to be a key target for Fields, offering a combination of reliable hands and red-zone prowess that could lead to a significant fantasy impact down the stretch.
Donald Parham Jr., TE, Los Angeles Chargers
Week 11 Overall PPR Rankings: 135
Week 11 Tight End PPR Rankings: 23
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hip) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday. He has been removed from the injury report and will play in Sunday's contest versus the Green Bay Packers. Furthermore, with Gerald Everett (chest) ruled out, Parham should see a significant uptick in volume.
The 26-year-old checks in at 6-foot-8, offering the Chargers a physical body to make big plays in the end zone or other key situations. He'll enter Week 11 as a mid-to-low TE2 in most fantasy leagues.
