One of the biggest NFL tight ends will leave fantasy football managers behind for Week 11 bye vacations: The Indianapolis Colts’ Tyler Warren will deprive his coaches of clutch catches from a continuously in-demand position.
The fantasy world gets back many big-name tight ends from Week 10 bye, though, including Travis Kelce and Jake Ferguson. These target hogs rejoin the player pool that, even at its midrange levels, can help this week’s lineups with enticing matchups and growing workloads.

Fantasy TEs on Week 11 Bye
- Tyler Warren, Colts
- Juwan Johnson, Saints
- Taysom Hill, Saints
Week 11 fantasy TE injuries to watch
- Sam LaPorta is out for the Lions. Brock Wright will slide in, but he’s not worth starting in most games.
- Dalton Kincaid is out for the Bills. Throw a dart on Jackson Hawes and Dawson Knox for those in extremely deep leagues, though more justified in TE Bonus formats.
- Watch for Dalton Schultz’s status; he would be busy for the Texans in another start by QB Davis Mills.
Who are the best fantasy Week 11 tight ends?
Oronde Gadsden’s increasing weekly role now meshes with arguably the easiest fantasy matchup for the tight end position in the Jaguars. A mainstay in the top few tiers in recent weeks, the rookie starts Week 11 as the No. 1 TE.
Trey McBride (two touchdowns) and Brock Bowers (1 catch, 31 yards) had divergent Week 10 stat lines but both belong near the top due to their ceilings.
Mark Andrews found the end zone for the third time in two weeks but only had three catches and 14 yards in Week 10. A Week 11 battle with the Browns’ second-level defense should give him more room to run, as the Ravens may use other tight ends to help block Myles Garrett.
Which top fantasy TE sleepers should I target for Week 11?
The “Top TE Streamer” tier highlights the top four tight end sleepers.
Though the Steelers TE group often cannibalizes each other, we’re going to go with the YAC this week. Pat Freiermuth has eked out the weekly triple-threat battle for Steelers TE targets and should pile up a few catches against a sieve-like Bengals secondary.
On the flip side of this game, Noah Fant should be heavily involved in Joe Flacco’s revived Bengals passing game, and the Steelers have wilted against many prioritized tight ends this year.
Colston Loveland was not deterred by Cole Kmet and Luther Burden being active for the Bears in Week 10; he’s elbowing his way into a weekly role and should follow in Andrews’ footsteps to find room and catches against the Vikings.
With a 7-53-1 line, Dalton Schultz was a safety blanket for Davis Mills; should Mills start at QB instead of CJ Stroud (concussion) once again, the Texans veteran should find the seams and soft spots against the woeful Titans.
