MIAMI, Nov. 16 (UPI) — Luke Musgrave is among my four must-start tight ends for Week 11 of the fantasy football season. If you need more options for your roster, check out my top add/drops article. My Week 11 rankings for running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks also are available and will be updated throughout the week. Advertisement
T.J. Hockenson, Travis Kelce, Trey McBride, Mark Andrews and Musgrave lead my Top 20 rankings, which are listed below. George Kittle, Jake Ferguson, Dalton Kincaid, Cole Kmet and Dalton Schultz round out my Top 10 plays.
Players from the Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints should either be benched or dropped, as those teams have Week 11 byes.

Trey McBride
McBride is one of the best tight ends in fantasy football, in terms of points per game, over the last four weeks. The Arizona Cardinals tight end caught eight passes for a season-high 131 yards in Week 10.
McBride averaged nearly eight targets per game over his last five appearances. This week, the Cardinals will face the Houston Texans. The Texans allowed the third-most catches, fifth-most fantasy points and seventh-most receiving yards per game to tight ends so far this season.
They also surrendered three scores to the position over their last three games. Look for McBride to continue to draw targets from quarterback Kyler Murray and to continue his breakout 2023 campaign. He is my No. 3 option.
Luke Musgrave
Musgrave is my No. 5 play for Week 11. The Green Bay Packers rookie scored just one touchdown so far this season, but totaled 115 yards between his last two appearances.

Musgrave is likely a touchdown-or-bust play, but I expect the Packers and Los Angeles Chargers to compete in a shootout in their Week 11 meeting.
The Chargers surrendered the most catches, second-most receiving yards and fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends through 11 weeks. Look for Musgrave to eclipse 50 receiving yards in this matchup.
Jake Ferguson
Ferguson should stay in all lineups amid a hot streak that includes touchdowns in each of his last three appearances. The Dallas Cowboys tight end also was targeted 21 times over that span. This week, the Cowboys will battle the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers are decent at defending opposing tight ends, but I expect the Cowboys passing offense to overwhelm this defense. Look for Ferguson to haul in one of quarterback Dak Prescott’s multiple touchdown tosses.
Ferguson is my No. 7 play.

Cole Kmet
Kmet is listed at No. 10 in my Week 11 tight end rankings. The Chicago Bears pass catcher received a total of 25 targets over the last three weeks. He logged nearly 60 receiving yards per game and scored twice during that span.
This week, the Bears will host the Detroit Lions. The Lions allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends through 10 weeks. I expect Kmet to log at least 50 yards. He should get several chances to score when the Bears reach the red zone.
