Arizona Cardinals v San Francisco 49ers

Here are the Week 11 fantasy tight end rankings. Although selecting a reliable tight end can be a bit of a tricky aspect for fantasy owners, there are still a good number of players that can log ten or more points in any given week, which can be a turning point for owners in touch matchups.

Week 11 tight end rankings-Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em

Start 'Em

Mike Gesicki, Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets

Even with Mike Gesicki seemingly failing at every end in the Dolphins' surprise win against the Ravens, he should have more success in the softer Jets defense that gives up decent points to tight ends. They have surrendered four touchdowns so far this season, and around 60 yards per game.

The Dolphins have always considered using Gesicki in their game plan, but he had bad luck when being targeted seven times last week. Gesicki should have a much better time against the Jets this week.

Dawson Knox, Buffalo Bills vs. Indianapolis Colts

The Buffalo Bills have found their footing again and should have no issues with the Colts this week. Dawson Knox will have a better time against a Colts defense that gives up the 6th highest points to tight ends. They have also already surrendered six touchdowns to tight ends.

Although Knox only had 17 yards last game, he managed to haul in a touchdown. The same should happen in goal-line situations against the Colts this week.

George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

George Kittle hauled in 50 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers throttling of the Los Angeles Rams. The Jaguars are a much larger mess on defense and are currently surrendering around an average of 60 yards per game to tight ends. The Jaguars' defense has also given up four touchdowns to tight ends this season.

Kittle should have a good game against this softer defense when the 49ers look to attack the middle of the field.

Sit 'Em

Sit 'Em tight ends for Week 11.

Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons vs. New England Patriots

Kyle Pitts has put up 60 yards in each of his last two games, but he should have a much tougher time against the Patriots' defense. They are currently among the top stingiest in points and touchdowns this season against tight ends. An average of 30 yards is all that is given by this defense. Bench Pitts this week.

This is especially true given that Matt Ryan seems to be fading in production, so Pitts may not be seeing too many targets against a much tougher defense.

Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints

Dallas Goedert isn't exactly the type of touchdown scoring type player that fantasy owners and the Eagles had hoped for. The Saints defense has also only allowed one touchdown to tight ends this season, so Goedert should be benched in favor of possibly adding a flex player that can supplement points lost.

At the very least, any backup tight end on fantasy rosters should be more alluring than Goedert this week.

Tyler Conklin, Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers

Don't be fooled by the two receiving touchdowns that Conkin was able to haul in against the Chargers. Conklin will revert to middle-of-the-road tight ends when the Vikings take on the Packers.

The Packers defense has been heating up and they have only surrendered four touchdowns to tight ends all season. That, and their average of 54 yards per game, isn't exactly going to be the kind of number fantasy owners are expecting.
