Morgan gives his week 11 fantasy football rankings for tight ends.
Let's continue our week 11 fantasy football rankings by looking over tight ends.
We already covered quarterbacks, and will go over wide receivers and running backs in other stories, so check back later for those!
Check out week 11 fantasy football projections for tight ends on FantasySP as well.
1. Trey McBride
McBride has been the best fantasy tight end to this point of the season, and he gets the No. 1 spot for another week.

He has an average matchup coming against the 49ers. McBride went for 43 yards and a score on five catches and eight targets in the first game against San Fran this season.
2. Brock Bowers
Bowers will look to get back on track against the Cowboys in week 11.
Dallas is a slightly below-average matchup, but I expect Bowers to bounce back.
Kittle is starting to deliver as a fantasy asset again, so he's a top-end option again.
A week 11 clash against the Cardinals is a pretty average matchup, so he could end up leading the position if he finds the end zone a time or two.
4. Sam LaPorta
LaPorta has been pretty solid in four of the past five weeks he's played.
He has a tough matchup against the Eagles in week 11, but I'll be trusting the Lions' TE to get the job done and finish pretty highly this week.
Goedert has been a single-digit fantasy scorer in two of the past three weeks, but at a weak position, I still like trying him inside the top five.
The Lions are a slightly below-average matchup for Goedert, and I expect him to do enough to finish as a top-five fantasy TE this week.
Ferguson has slowed over his past two weeks, but after a bye week, I expect more out of him and the Cowboys' offense.
Las Vegas does a good job of slowing fantasy tight ends, but I like Ferguson to bounce back in week 11.
7. Travis Kelce
Kelce has continued to deliver despite the return of Rashee Rice.
I trust him as a top-10 fantasy TE against the Broncos. Denver is another tough test, but nothing too daunting.
Schultz has been great the past two weeks, and has been quietly effective all fantasy season.
Regardless of who is at quarterback for the Texans, I see Schultz delivering against the Titans in week 11. It's another below-average matchup (otherwise he'd rank higher) - he delivered 30 yards on five catches and six targets in the first meeting against Tennessee.
Gadsden got banged up in week 10, but hopefully he's able to suit up in week 11. If he doesn't play, you can avoid the other LA tight ends.
Jacksonville is a stellar matchup, so Gadsden could thrive if he's not hampered by the injury. I might even bump him up a few spots if he's able to practice in full by the end of the week.
10. Kyle Pitts Sr.
Pitts has scored in single digits in each of the past two games, but he's the guy I like most among the remaining tight ends.
His matchup against the Panthers is a pretty favorable one. Pitts had 39 yards on four receptions and six targets in the first meeting against Carolina.
11. Zach Ertz
Ertz has been a steady fantasy asset over the past two weeks, and has been pretty solid most of the season.
A week 11 test against the Dolphins is a very favorable matchup, which is why he ranks just outside the top 10 for the week. If he finds the end zone, there's a good chance he's a top-10 fantasy TE by the end of the week.
12. Theo Johnson
Johnson is trending up as a fantasy asset, but he falls a couple spots with some uncertainty at QB for the Giants. If Jaxson Dart ends up starting, I'd have Johnson inside my top 10, but I expect Jameis Winston to get the nod.
Johnson's matchup against the Packers is slightly above average, but they've been better against TEs of late, and will be looking to make a statement after back-to-back losses, so I'm skeptical of Johnson this week.
13. Hunter Henry
Henry didn't do much last week, but had been a pretty steady performer in the five weeks before that, so I expect him to bounce back.
The Jets are a slightly above-average test for Henry, so he could surprise this week and has top-10 potential.
14. Cade Otton
Otton delivered a big showing in week 10, and should remain heavily involved with all the injuries the Bucs are dealing with.
The Bills are the toughest matchup for fantasy TEs, so that's why Otton falls toward the middle of the pack this week - I think he's still capable of a top-10 score.
15. Mark Andrews
Andrews doesn't do a ton offensively for the Ravens, but he keeps scoring touchdowns, so there's reason to play him still.
He had just a two-yard catch across three targets in his first meeting against the Browns, who he faces again this week. Cleveland is a bit tougher fantasy test for TEs, but I'd be willing to try Andrews in a pinch because of his scoring upside.
16 and 17. Harold Fannin and David Njoku
Fannin are so close as fantasy assets, and this week, I have them back to back.
Fannin had 48 yards on five catches and targets in the first meeting against Baltimore, while Njoku had 40 yards on four receptions and five targets. I gave the edge to Fannin as a result.
Baltimore is actually a below-average test for tight ends though, so that's why Fannin and Njoku are outside my top 15 this week.
18. T.J. Hockenson
Hockenson hasn't scored in double digits in any of the past three games, but he's still worth a top-20 spot for me.
He has the Bears, who he tallied 15 yards on three catches and four targets against back in week 1. Chicago is an above-average matchup for tight ends.
19. Colston Loveland
Loveland is trending up over the past two weeks, and we'll see if he can keep things rolling against the Vikings this week. Minnesota is another above-average fantasy test for a tight end.
Loveland had 12 yards on two catches and targets against the Vikings back in week 1.
20. Mason Taylor
Taylor has been up and down as a fantasy asset, thanks to an inconsistent Jets' offense.
He will be facing the Patriots, who are another above-average test, so maybe he could surprise for some deep-league owners this week.
21. Jonnu Smith
Smith has the best fantasy matchup available against the Bengals.
He had 28 yards and a score on three grabs and six targets in the team's last meeting in week 7. I'm worried that Pat Freiermuth could steal some production, so Smith falls outside the top 20.
22. Tyler Higbee
Higbee has a couple decent fantasy outings in a row, so he's worth a mention as we near the end of the rankings.
His week 11 matchup against the Seahawks is pretty favorable, so maybe he could surprise and find the end zone again.
23. Noah Fant
I feel that fantasy owners keep forgetting about Fant, but he's been solid since Joe Flacco took over.
His clash against the Steelers is very favorable, and he posted 44 yards and a score on four catches and targets in the last meeting, so maybe he can replicate that showing again.
24. AJ Barner
Barner didn't do anything as a pass catcher last week, so this is risky, even at the end of my rankings.
An average matchup against the Rams is a chance for him to add several points for you deep-league fantasy owners out there.
25. Dawson Knox
Dalton Kincaid looks unlikely to play, so Knox will be the Bills' top tight end again.
Tampa Bay is a bit tougher test, but without Kincaid around, Knox could sneakily be a good option.
If Kincaid is out there, skip Knox and slide Kincaid between Otton and Andrews in my rankings.
