We only have minor updates to our tight end rankings for the week. The most important name to monitor would be George Kittle, who appears to be back on track to return in Week 12 after missing last week’s game against the Seahawks. With Brock Purdy missing this contest with a shoulder injury, Kittle’s upside is slightly capped, and he moves to TE7 in our weekly rankings as opposed to the no-doubt top tier starter he usually is.
Sam LaPorta appears ready to return to the fold after missing one week with a shoulder injury. LaPorta is a back-end TE1 for us this week; the upside is there to make a big play or score a touchdown, but he’s also seen some low-output games this season.
Dallas Goedert gets a slight bump with DeVonta Smith missing this contest. Goedert’s best games this season have come when injuries to Smith or A.J. Brown have hampered the Eagles’ passing attack, so a likely increase in target share is enough for us to move Goedert up to TE9 in our rankings.
