Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Baker Mayfield

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught one of his five targets for nine yards and added a two-point conversion in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. Njoku was held in check on a cold, snowy evening in Cleveland despite tying for second on the team with his five targets. It could have been a better game for Njoku, who got wide open but dropped an easy touchdown pass in the end zone in the second half, although the Browns were able to bounce back and get a short Jameis Winston rushing touchdown on the ensuing play. Njoku will remain locked in as a TE1 in fantasy heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was held in check by the San Francisco 49ers defense on Sunday. Mayfield has been incredible throughout most of the season, but didn't have the same success this weekend. He completed 18-of-29 passing attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown in the three-point loss. Mayfield showed heart in this game and even stiff armed his way to giving his team the lead with less than a minute left. Fantasy managers shouldn't get frustrated by this performance. Mayfield is likely to get wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) back after the bye week. The expectation is that Mayfield will resume his QB1 ways in Week 12 against the New York Giants.
