Fantasy Football Week 11 Tight End Rankings & Analysis

Cleveland Browns Tight End Dilemma

• 🎯 Harold Fannon is ranked as a low-end TE1, while David Njoku is a high-end TE2, despite challenges in consistent weekly ranking.
• 📈 Fannon has seen significant target share (21%) in recent games, while Njoku's route participation has been below 60%, suggesting Fannon is the primary TE.
• 🤕 Owners should monitor Fannon's hamstring injury, but the Browns appear to be prioritizing Fannon as the TE1.

Struggling with Kyle Pitts and Theo Johnson

• 📉 Kyle Pitts is outside the top 12 due to poor performance in the last two games, with only 12 targets for 76 yards and no touchdowns since week four.
• ❓ Theo Johnson is a question mark with a quarterback change to Jameis Winston, and his fantasy points have been inconsistent, relying heavily on touchdowns.
• 🏈 Johnson's potential is linked to the Giants' ability to score touchdowns against the Packers, and Daryl Slayton's hamstring injury could benefit Johnson.

Startable Tight Ends: Schultz and Kmet

• 🌟 Dalton Schultz is a recommended start, averaging nearly 14 PPR points over his last four games, facing a Titans defense that is not strong against tight ends.
• 🚀 Cole Kmet is a must-start despite a tough matchup against the Bills, who allow the fewest fantasy points to tight ends, due to his consistent high-point performances and recent dominant outing.

Tight Ends to Sit: Pitts and Hockenson

• ⚠️ Kyle Pitts is a player to be nervous about starting, even with potential, due to recent target share and touchdown drought.
• 🚫 T.J. Hockenson should be sat due to low target volume (four or less) in games with J.J. McCarthy playing and failing to reach 10 PPR points.
• 🎯 Hockenson's matchup against the Bears is favorable, with the Vikings allowing five touchdowns to tight ends in their last five games, but his recent performance with McCarthy is a concern.

Cole Kmet's Target Share Concerns

• 💡 Cole Kmet has been efficient but his target share decreases when Cole Kmet is active, suggesting he might not be a must-start every week.
• 🤞 There is hope for Kmet to have a strong target game, but current evidence suggests caution when Cole Kmet is available.
