Week 11 Start/ Sit Part 4: TEs

For the previous part:
Week 11 Start/ Sit Part 1: QBs
Week 11 Start/ Sit Part 2: RBs

An expanded version with players from readers' feedback included will be posted on Saturday. This is Part 4 of the starts and sits for Week 11:


TE

Start 'Em

Fred Davis (vs. Cowboys)- Davis is in this list for the fifth straight week and the reason for him making it here is still the same. His numbers have been lower in recent weeks, but his targets should increase this week with Leonard Hankerson being placed on injured reserve. Davis also has a good matchup in Week 11, facing a Dallas defense that is 3rd in fantasy points allowed to tight ends.

Brent Celek (at Giants)- Celek has been hot the last 4 games and while he did struggle in Week 3 against New York, that is in the past now. The circumstances of this game are completely different. Michael Vick is injured and all signs point towards Vince Young getting the start on Sunday. Young usually looks for his tight ends. Celek should continue his streak against a Giants defense that was vulnerable to tight ends in the past couple of weeks.

Sit 'Em

Dustin Keller (at Broncos)- Keller is back on this list for the second straight week. He appears to be copying last season's script in that he started the year on fire and has fallen off a cliff since Week 3. Denver has excelled at defending tight ends (Jermichael Finley, Jermaine Gresham and Brandon Pettigrew) this season and Keller should be no exception.

Jermaine Gresham (at Ravens)- the talented Gresham has been mainly used as a redzone target this season. He returned from in Week 10 and was able to find the endzone, but a repeat this week is not to be expected. Gresham will face in Week 11 a Baltimore defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in the NFL.


The remaining part will be up soon and the link will be added to the this post. Last part is done and posted.
