Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart Week 11: Tight Ends

RSJ’s Jackson Barrett created a value-based drafting Excel tool to create the preseason values for this Fantasy Football Trade Value Chart. The tool uses the FantasyPros consensus projections to assign values based on a 12-team, full PPR league.

Each week throughout the season, these values will be altered to reflect the player’s value for the rest of the season. Changes made to player’s value will be based on FantasyPros Rest of Season ECR, results from the season thus far, and The Wolf’s Rest of Season Rankings. But for the most part, the below values should generally reflect consensus rankings. The values provided also allow for comparing player values across positions, not just within one positional group.

For more information on how to make successful deals, check out our strategies for negotiating trades.

Be sure to tune back each week throughout the season. We’ll be adjusting the chart, discussing risers & fallers, and pinpointing trade targets.

The trade value chart for each position is linked below.

Fantasy Football Week 11 Trade Value Chart: Tight End

Tight End Riser

Over the past few weeks, Travis Kelce has made a push for truly elite status. After three straight 20-point games, Kelce is firmly among the upper tier of tight ends. Quite frankly, it would not be ridiculous to prefer Kelce over Brock Bowers at this point.

Some people may be frustrated that Kelce is only “back” because of the injury to Rashee Rice, but the reality of the situation is that Kelce will be a high-volume option in the Kansas City offense for the remainder of the season. He’s accounted for 25 percent of the team’s targets in three straight games and shows no signs of slowing down.

Tight End Faller

We have now received confirmation that Dak Prescott will be out for the season. The loss of Prescott absolutely crushes the fantasy outlook for everyone involved, including Jake Ferguson. At this point, it’s hard to feel comfortable with him in your starting lineup.

We’ve now seen that this offense has a floor that’s lower than anyone thought was possible. More specifically, Cooper Rush threw for 45 yards on 23 attempts and led the Cowboys to six points. The Philadelphia secondary has been making significant strides in recent weeks, but this is concerning to say the least. Unless Rush can provided some sort of stability, Ferguson likely won’t be cracking the weekly top 12 very often.
