Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or David Njoku

Sunday, October 12, 9:35 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey shouldered another monster workload in his team's 30-19 Week 6 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McCaffrey recorded 17 carries for 54 yards, adding seven catches for 57 yards on eight targets as a receiver. The 29-year-old has now topped 100 yards from scrimmage in every game the 49ers have played so far this season. McCaffrey has struggled with rushing efficiency, recording 336 rushing yards and a touchdown on 108 carries (3.1 yards per attempt). However, he's saved his numbers by hauling in 46 catches for 444 yards and three scores. For as long as he's able to stay healthy, McCaffrey is a must-start fantasy running back.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. David Njoku left early in Cleveland's Week 6 loss to the Steelers after injuring his knee. Before leaving, the veteran tight end secured three of six targets for 28 yards. His status for Week 7 against the Dolphins is up in the air as he missed practice to begin the week, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice on Thursday and Friday. If Njoku were to miss the upcoming game, rookie Harold Fannin Jr. would see a big boost and upgrade to clear TE1 territory for Week 7 against Miami.
