Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Bryce Young

Monday, September 15, 8:17 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is off to a slow start in 2025. After his four-catch, 40-yard performance in a lopsided Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Njoku has just seven catches for 77 scoreless yards through two games. Meanwhile, fellow Cleveland tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has officially become a concern for Njoku's fantasy managers as the rookie has outproduced the veteran with 12 catches for 111 yards. Njoku is likely to bounce back, although a struggling Cleveland offense led by an ineffective Joe Flacco doesn't offer much hope for upside. Njoku will hope to get his season on track in Week 3 against a Green Bay Packers defense that has given up big games to Sam LaPorta (six catches for 79 yards) and Zach Ertz (six catches for 64 yards and a touchdown) this season. Njoku is worth a look as a low-end TE1 in fantasy thanks to the favorable matchup in Week 3.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 35 of 55 pass attempts for 328 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He also took three sacks in the loss. While Young and the whole Panthers offense were slow to get going, they showed real signs of life in the fourth quarter and nearly pulled off an improbable comeback. The former No. 1 pick's three touchdowns are a testament to his ability to lead pass-heavy scoring drives and keep the Panthers competitive even when playing from behind. Both of these skills will serve him well going forward, as sportsbooks continue to set the Panthers as underdogs, indicating that Young will need to continue throwing the ball often and with success. Next week, he'll face the Atlanta Falcons, who dismantled J.J. McCarthy this week but allowed Baker Mayfield to throw for three touchdowns in Week 1. Young should rank as a mid-range QB2 heading into the divisional battle.
