Top daily fantasy football tight end plays for Week 11

Welcome to Week 11 of the Daily Fantasy season. Pricing has stabilized as trends have emerged, but there are still bargains to be found and even some higher-priced options that will go underowned and can make a difference in your lineups. This article looks at some of the projected lesser-owned plays at tight end who could provide huge boosts to your tournament lineups, as well as some trap plays to avoid.

Gronk is out. Get Bennett active. Although he is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, this is the Patriots we’re talking about. Bennett should play, and he could have a field day against the hapless 49ers.

The Lions have one rule on defense: DO NOT cover the tight end. Thomas has touchdown receptions in three of his past four games. You can pretty much make it 4 of 5 before this game is over.

With strong winds in the forecast and with Alshon Jeffery suspended, this is a prime spot for Miller to produce. Miller disappointed last week against the Buccaneers, which only helps his situation this week as most owners will look elsewhere, given the adversity facing Chicago’s passing game against the Giants. But it’s under these types of circumstances that a talented tight end can flourish. Like Zach Miller.

In his first two games back after an injury, Ebron has seven catches in each and a combined 171 yards. He is a focal point in Detroit’s passing attack, and though the matchup is a tough one against a solid Jags pass defense, Ebron should find a way to get open and get his production.

Another weather game this weekend, with winds worse than those expected in New York. This could be a spot for James to break out, as Ben Roethlisberger might be forced into short passes against a defense that has been destroyed by tight ends all season. Ladarius Green is also worth a look here.

Brate is going to be a popular play after scoring his third touchdown in as many weeks last Sunday. But the Chiefs are among the stingiest defenses in the league against the tight end position. His ownership is going to be too high to take a chance on Brate bucking that trend.

The Ravens have surrendered exactly one touchdown to opposing tight ends this season. That’s one less than Witten has scored this season. Bennett is $300 cheaper. Hint, hint.
