Week 11 Fantasy Football Rankings And Tiers. Don't Shy Away From Puka Nacua.
Dwain McFarland breaks down the Week 11 fantasy football positional rankings with player analysis, team totals and spreads for every game on the slate.
It is time to make those tough lineup decisions for Week 11 of the fantasy football season.
Below, you’ll find positional rankings, player analysis, team totals and spreads for every game on the slate.
Notes:
- Players are now tiered across all positions (RB, WR and TE) to help with flex decisions in larger formats. Because of this, TEs might not have a player deserving of Tier 1 compared to RBs and WRs.
- Defensive yards and TDs allowed exclude overtime play.
- All references to defensive ranks are for this week (bye Week teams excluded).

Reminder: I have leveled my tiers across RB, WR and TE to help with flex lineup decisions. So, getting to Tier 1 is hard — often, Tier 2 is where you will find my highest-ranked TE.
Tier 4 – Sam LaPorta
With how well McBride and Dalton Kincaid have performed over the last few games, some hype around LaPorta has faded. However, the rookie is still the No. 4 TE on the season, averaging 13.2 points per game.
He ranks No. 4 in targets per route run (TPRR) out of all TEs with at least 150 routes and ranks seventh in yards per route run (YPRR) at 1.75.
Amon-Ra St. Brown remains the alpha in this passing attack, but none of the other pass catchers outside of LaPorta have stepped up — leading to a 52% target share between those two players.
In a Lions offense converting 28% of drives into TDs — the fifth-most in the NFL — the rookie TE is in a great situation. This weekend, the Lions carry the second-highest team total (27.75) against a Bears passing defense that allows the sixth-most points per game (33.6) to pass catchers.
LaPorta is my TE4 this weekend and is a borderline top-50 flex option in a game where he carries multi-TD upside.
