Fantasy Football Rankings: Week 11

The tight end position remains one of the trickiest conundrums fantasy football. Between injuries, erratic production and changing quarterback dynamics, finding weekly consistency is a rare luxury. Week 10 proved that reality one more time. Several reliable options have stumbled, while others have unexpectedly jumped into the top 10. With a fantasy playoff fast approaching, managers cannot afford a misstep. Getting the right tight end in your lineup can be the difference between victory and elimination.

Key insights

The good news is that the position is getting a boost this week. After a Week 10 bye, Travis Kelce, Jake Ferguson, Noah Fant and Chig Okonkwo return to the mix. They give fantasy football managers some familiar names to fall back on. On the other hand, the Colts and Saints are on the road. That removed Tyler Warren and Juwan Johnson from availability. Still, there’s plenty of depth and intrigue around.

Let’s break down the upper tight ends and sleepers for the 11th week.

Week 11 Best Fantasy Football Picks – 2025

Brock BowersLV (against DAL)

It was a rare night off for Brock Bowers in Week 10. He caught just one of three targets for 31 yards in Las Vegas’ 10–7 loss to Denver. His quiet exit was a stark contrast to his dominant comeback a week earlier. This left many fantasy football managers frustrated. However, it is important to zoom out. Bowers continues to be the focal point of the Raiders’ passing game and one of the few tight ends in the league with true top-three weekly upside.

Dallas’ defense is generally stingy. However, he allowed tight ends to find space in the short and intermediate zones. Expect the Raiders to get Bowers back on track with a more deliberate game plan designed to exploit mismatches against Dallas’ players. Despite last week’s loss, Bowers remains the starter every week. He has the potential to bounce back in a big way.

Sam LaPortaIT (@PHI)

Sam LaPorta had five catches for 53 yards in Week 10. That performance epitomizes what makes him such a valuable fantasy football asset. Even when he doesn’t find the end zone, he offers reliable volume and yardage. He has now scored five or more goals in four of his last five games. LaPorta continues to be one of Jared Goff’s most reliable options in key situations.

Against the Eagles in Week 11, LaPorta should benefit from a matchup that forces Detroit to throw early and often. Philadelphia’s secondary remains vulnerable to tight ends, especially in red zone coverage. LaPorta’s consistent involvement and touchdown potential have him locked into the top five tight ends this week.

Colston Loveland, CHI (@MIN)

After a breakout performance in Week 9, Colston Loveland came back down to earth in Week 10 with four catches for 55 yards. Still, it’s a strong floor for a player on the rise in Chicago’s offensive scheme. He had a consistent short-to-intermediate role as a weapon for Caleb Williams. The Bears’ upcoming schedule also looks favorable, especially this week against Minnesota.

The Vikings defense ranks near the bottom third in fantasy football points allowed to tight ends. They were especially vulnerable on play-action routes. That’s an area where Loveland thrives. With multiple high-volume matchups on the horizon, Loveland profiles as a low-end TE1 with high upside moving forward.

Week 11 Fantasy Football Sleepers – 2025

Kyle PittsATL (vs. CAR)

Kyle Pitts was consistent if unspectacular in 2025. He recorded multiple receptions in each game, but only went 70 yards once. Last week’s two catches for 38 yards underscore the challenge of believing in him every week. Still, his floor remains solid given his target share.

This week, the Pitts draw a favorable matchup against Carolina. The Panthers’ defense allowed tight ends the sixth-most receptions in the league. With this, Pitts could finally experience his long-awaited breakthrough.

Mason Taylor, New York (@NE)

Mason Taylor’s production has been on the rise this season. Hello, a four-yard line on one catch in Week 10 doesn’t inspire much confidence. However, the situation around him could lead to a sudden increase. With Garrett Wilson nursing a knee injury, Taylor could see an increase in targets against New England.

The Patriots have struggled to contain athletic tight ends. They’ve given up a touchdown in three of their last five games. If New York falls behind early, expect Taylor to see extra work as a safety valve in the short passing game. He’s a deep league sleeper worth noting.

Harold Fannin Jr, CLE (vs. BAL)

Harold Fannin Jr. continues to be one of the most intriguing under-the-radar tight ends in fantasy football. In Week 10, he caught four passes for 44 yards on a 21.8 percent target share. He continues his strong involvement in Cleveland’s passing attack. Fannin’s has a 19.6 percent target share on the season and nearly 2.0 yards per carry. These numbers suggest sustainable value.

Injury and bye week

Fantasy football managers get a bit of a break this week with just two Colts and the Saints on the bye. Again, that means no Tyler Warren or Juwan Johnson.

In terms of injuries, key names to watch include Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), Brenton Strange (quad) and Oronde Gadsden II (knee).

Managers should keep an eye on the training reports on Friday. A late-week appointment could open the door for lesser-known options like Dawson Knock or Johnny Mundt to emerge as viable streamers.

As always, trust volume, matchup trends and opportunities in the red zone. The managers who identify which tight ends can combine those elements will be the ones celebrating when the dust settles on Sunday night.
