Fantasy Football Week 11 Tight End Rankings

The 2025-26 NFL season is underway which means we are in the thick of fantasy football season! The fantasy landscape has already changed since the preseason due to breakout players and major injuries across the league. Bye weeks have been taking place. This means that tight ends like Tyler Warren and Juwan Johnson will be out this week. It would be irresponsible to start a player with a rough matchup over a player with a more favorable one that is ranked or projected to perform similarly. Here are fantasy football Week 11 tight end rankings.

*Ratings are subject to change due to injury reports or possible move to the Injured Reserve List

(Check out the section below for details on players already rumored to possibly miss this week and how their replacement options rank for the week)

Key:

Must Start- a player who is in your lineup regardless of the matchup or most circumstances. They Will likely finish near the top of the league in points that week and in most weeks.

Starting TE1- a player who makes fantasy owners comfortable starting week after week. Regardless of the matchup, this player has a solid floor.

Touchdown Dependent Starter- a player who may not be a lock to start for a team every week, but will start more times than not because of depth at the position. Their production is based on whether they can get in the end zone or not. It can be the difference between a top 10 performance or a top 25 performance

Deep League Starter- a player whose ceiling isn’t high but should put up enough production to be started in deep leagues. When a player like this is started it is because their production though it will likely be low, will be better than a few options.

Leave on the Bench- a player who should be avoided in all lineups that week. Many times this player could even be left on waivers.

TE4 Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions

Sam LaPorta missed practice on Wednesday with a back injury. It is unclear if this injury could cause him to miss time. If LaPorta misses Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles Brock Wright becomes TE30 between Michael Mayer and Ja’Tavion Sanders.

TE15 Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns

Harold Fannin Jr. was limited in practice on Wednesday with a hamstring injury. He played through this injury last week. If Fannin Jr. misses Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens David Njoku moves up to TE11 between Dalton Schultz and Theo Johnson.

TE23 Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars

Brenton Strange has missed the last four games with a hip injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday because of the injury. If Strange misses Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers Hunter Long becomes TE35 below Greg Dulcich.

Players that are currently not expected to play

Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills

Dalton Kincaid suffered a hamstring injury last week against the Miami Dolphins. He missed practice on Wednesday because of the injury. Kincaid is considered week-to-week with the injury. So he will likely miss this week’s game and could miss time going forward. While Kincaid is out Dawson Knox will be a streaming option. Prior to Buffalo drafting Kincaid in 2023, Knox was considered a starter at tight end for fantasy football managers.
