It may not feel like it, but there are only a few weeks left until the fantasy football playoffs begin. There was a changing of the tight end guard this week as T.J. Hockenson took advantage of Travis Kelce’s bye week and has taken over as the TE1 in PPR scoring. Kelce comes in at No. 2 and is followed by Mark Andrews, Sam LaPorta and Cole Kmet. Here is how we are approaching the tight end position in Week 11 PPR fantasy football leagues.
Teams on bye: Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints
