Who Should I Start? David Njoku or AJ Barner

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught both of his targets for 20 yards in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Njoku got his first action of the preseason, catching a pair of balls from starter Joe Flacco in the team's final tune-up before they prepare to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Njoku remains a rock-solid mid-range TE1 in fantasy leagues and should be a safe selection heading into drafts.

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner has looked "very promising" in training camp practices and is "currently the No. 1 tight end," according to Michael-Shawn Duggar of The Athletic. A fourth-round pick out of Michigan in the 2024 draft, Barner recorded 30 catches for 245 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games (six starts) as a rookie. Seattle released veteran tight end Noah Fant last month, which could be an indication of the confidence the organization has in Barner. However, the Seahawks also used a second-round pick in the 2025 draft at the position when they selected Elijah Arroyo, so Barner will still have in-house competition for targets and playing time.
