Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 11? Dallas Goedert, Cade Otton, Zach Ertz, Theo Johnson, Colston Loveland, Jake Ferguson, Kyle Pitts Sr., Mark Andrews, Oronde Gadsden II, David Njoku

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton had his best game of the 2025 season in Week 10, recording nine catches for 82 yards on 12 targets against the New England Patriots. After averaging 2.8 targets per game over the first four weeks of the season, Otton has averaged 7.4 targets per contest over his last five games.

The 26-year-old appears to be one of the clear beneficiaries of injuries to Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg). With Evans currently on Injured Reserve and Godwin trending towards missing his fifth straight game, Otton should continue to be a featured player in Tampa Bay's passing game.

Cade Otton profiles as a low-end starting fantasy tight end heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson caught a season-high seven passes for 75 yards in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Bears. Since Jaxson Dart took over as the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 4, Johnson has been on a 17-game pace of 66 catches for 644 yards and 12 touchdowns, putting him squarely in the every-week starter conversation.

Unfortunately, Dart left Sunday's game with a concussion and will now need to clear protocol before retaking the field, but the Giants boast one of the most tight-end-friendly schedules down the stretch, with fantasy playoff matchups against both the Commanders and Vikings.

While the Giants organization faces turmoil in a week that saw head coach Brian Daboll fired, the connection between Dart and Johnson seems legitimate. As long as the rookie signal-caller doesn't face a prolonged absence, Johnson is a valuable streaming option that should be available on most waiver wires.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson had a solid game in his final outing before the team's Week 10 bye, recording five catches for 50 yards on seven targets in a Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. However, the 26-year-old's target volume has tailed off in recent weeks after a scorching start to the season.

Across the first five weeks of 2025, Ferguson was averaging 9.6 targets per game. From Weeks 6 through 9, Ferguson averaged 4.5 targets per contest. That drop-off coincided with the return of star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to the lineup, who had three-plus games in the middle of the season with a high-ankle sprain.

Coming out of the bye, Ferguson could continue to lose targets to Lamb and Cowboys wideout George Pickens. Ferguson may still be a useful fantasy tight end, but he's more reliant on touchdowns now than he was earlier in the year.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. managed just two catches for 38 yards in Week 10's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts, but the stat line doesn't tell the whole story. The 25-year-old was targeted a solid five times in the contest, and one of them could have gone for at least a 20-yard catch and potentially a touchdown, but he simply dropped it; otherwise, it would have been a much more bountiful day.

There are no points for almost catching a pass, though, and he disappointingly finished as the 25th-ranked TE for fantasy this week. The two receptions were his lowest output of the season, so hopefully he can rebound from this performance in Week 11, as the 6-foot-6 tight end is still averaging over six targets and five catches per game this year.

Week 11 brings a home matchup against Carolina, a defense that has been generous to TEs thus far, even allowing the Tyler Shough-Juwan Johnson connection to register a touchdown in Week 10. With just one touchdown in nine games for Pitts, though, he could be on the verge of being relegated to TE2 territory in Week 11.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught both of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Njoku got off to a fast start in the contest, hauling in a nine-yard touchdown pass from Dillon Gabriel in the first quarter.

It was all downhill from there, however, as Njoku tacked on just one more catch, a 12-yarder, in the contest while rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught four of his seven targets for 44 yards. Njoku is on pace for his slowest season in years as he has just 29 catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns in eight games for the Browns.

He will be a mid-range TE2 in Week 11's home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Njoku caught four passes for 40 scoreless yards back when these two teams met in Week 2.
