Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Brenton Strange

Friday, September 5, 10:06 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku will make his 2025 debut against the Cincinnati Bengals at home in Week 1. With Joe Flacco back under center after a stint with the team in 2023, Njoku is primed to get off to a hot start this season. Flacco and Njoku showed excellent chemistry together two years ago, combining for 30 receptions, 390 yards, and four touchdowns in five games together. The Bengals were the worst team in the league against tight ends last season as they allowed the most fantasy points per game to the position. Njoku is a top-six fantasy tight end heading into Week 1.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange was one of the team's offensive standouts in a 26-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. The former second-round pick from Penn State formed a nice connection with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, catching all four of his targets for 59 yards. It was Strange - not WRs Brian Thomas Jr. or Travis Hunter - who led the Jaguars in receiving yards. Strange also played 79 percent of the Jags' offensive snaps, trailing only Thomas among the team's receivers and tight ends. It appears Strange is going to have a major role in Jacksonville's offense under new head coach Liam Coen this season, yet he is only rostered in 22% of Yahoo leagues heading into a meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Considering the Bengals allowed a combined 10 catches and 100 yards to Cleveland Browns tight ends Harold Fannin Jr. and David Njoku in Week 1, fantasy managers looking for help at TE should consider Strange.
