Sam LaPorta or Trey McBride: Who should I start in Week 11 Fantasy Football?
Sam LaPorta and Trey McBride are two tight ends with interesting seasons in fantasy football. LaPorta has made an immediate impact as a rookie with 118.4 PPR fantasy points. McBride has 20+ fantasy point games in two of his last three games.
Both could be some mismatches in their respective matchups in Week 11 and impact many fantasy. The question is, which of these tight ends should start this week in fantasy?
Is Sam LaPorta a good fantasy pick in Week 11?
The Detroit Lions tight end is more than a good fantasy pick this week as the team faces the Chicago Bears at Ford Field. LaPorta has been a nightmare for defenses all season as he looks for a bounce-back game this week.
LaPorta had just four points last week against the Los Angeles Chargers. It was his second-worst effort this season. He has been an integral player for quarterback Jared Goff and the Lions offense with 64 targets.
He has been a must-start almost every week the Lions play for fantasy managers. This is no different as he's on pace to be a top-five tight end this season.
Is Trey McBride a good fantasy pick in Week 11?
The Arizona Cardinals offense has not included Trey McBride that much to begin the season. Yet, he has begun to find this stride, it seems, in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons with his 21.1 PPR points.
There is even more optimism as the Cardinals face the Houston Texans in Week 11.
Having quarterback Kyler Murray has boosted the fantasy outlook of many Arizona players, including McBride. He is worth a flex consideration in a fanatsy lineup this week. The 24-year-old might be an X-factor should the game become high-scoring.
Sam LaPorta vs. Trey McBride: Whom should I start in Week 11?
When looking at the Sportskeeda Start/Sit optimizer, it favors LaPorta over McBride by two points in Week 11. The optimizer likes the Lions tight end to get more yards with a slight chance at getting a touchdown.
Do not let the two-point differential steer one away from McBride as he's projected to just as many receptions as LaPorta. The key is how much will Murray target McBride versus the Texans defense. Either way, consider McBride as a starter should the space be available at the tight-end position this week.
