Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 11: Tight end rankings

Tight ends are the most polarizing position during each Fantasy Football season. With the exception of owning one of the few elite options, such as Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews, it's difficult for managers to find consistent production from tight ends. This has made streaming players in this position a popular strategy in Fantasy Football.

Fantasy managers must analyze several factors, including direct weekly matchups and recent performances, in order to properly utilize this strategy to optimize lineups. Looking through the data will provide certain tight ends to target and others to avoid in Week 11 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season.

NFL Week 11 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Start 'Em

It has become clear that Dak Prescott trusts Dalton Schultz in the passing game. Schultz has recorded, at least, five receptions in every game this year with Prescott. He totaled just two receptions in three games without him. The duo will now have a chance to capitalize on a favorable matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. They allow the eighth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Cole Kmet - Chicago Bears vs. Atlanta Falcons

Cole Kmet has been one of the best tight ends in Fantasy Football in recent weeks. He has finished as the TE1 in standard scoring in each of the last two weeks. He has also caught five Justin Fields touchdown passes in his last three games combined. The Atlanta Falcons have a bottom-five ranked passing defense, so Kmet could be in line for another big day in Week 11.

Greg Dulcich - Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Greg Dulcich finished among the top 12 tight ends in PPR fantasy points in each of his first three games. He followed that with a dud in his fourth game, recording just one reception. He could see an increased workload in Week 11 with Jerry Jeudy unavailable. He also faces off against the Las Vegas Raiders, one of only five teams allowing more than 12 fantasy points per game to tight ends.

NFL Week 11 Fantasy Football Tight Ends: Sit 'Em

Dawson Knox - Buffalo Bills vs. Cleveland Browns

Dawson Knox is a solid streaming tight end in Fantasy Football with the right matchups. He has finished in the top 15 in PPR points three times this year. The Cleveland Browns are a matchup where he is probably best avoided in Fantasy Football. They allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Tyler Higbee - Los Angeles Rams vs. New Orleans Saints

Tyler Higbee ranks in the top eight in total fantasy points scored during the 2022 season so far. Week 11 will present a stiff challenge against the New Orleans Saints. They allow the fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends. The Rams will also be without Cooper Kupp this week, so it's likely Matthew Stafford will struggle more than usual.

Trey McBride - Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers

Trey McBride was a popular Waiver Wire target during Week 11. He is projected to take over the starting role for Zach Ertz, who recently suffered a season-ending injury. Ertz is the second-most targeted tight end this year, trailing only Travis Kelce, so there is plenty of production to be replaced. McBride appears solid for the rest of the season, but not against the San Francisco 49ers' top-ranked passing defense in Week 11.
