Tight Ends

Start

Tyler Kroft, Cincinnati Bengals vs. Denver Broncos – The 16th ranked PPR tight end goes into Week 11 with a terrific matchup. The Broncos defense has been getting shredded by opposing tight ends all season long and have given up a touchdown to an opposing tight end in three-straight games. Kroft, who has three touchdowns on the season, could make it four straight.

Austin Hooper, Atlanta Falcons vs. Seattle Seahawks – Over the last three weeks, Hooper ranks as the fourth-best PPR tight end and faces a Seahawks defense who let Jermaine Greshman finish Week 10 as the second-best fantasy tight end. If you have Hooper, fire him up.

Sit

Delanie Walker, Tennessee Titans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers – Walker has yet to catch a touchdown this season and the Steelers have only surrendered two touchdowns to opposing tight ends all season. Even in PPR leagues, I expect Walker to finish with less than double-digit points.

Julius Thomas, Miami Dolphins vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Thomas now has a touchdown in back-to-back games so he’s trending in the right direction, right? Wrong. Even with his touchdown last week he scored less than double-digit points and he has a brutal matchup this week against the Buccaneers.
