Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Cameron Ward

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.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward struggled in his first NFL game, completing 12 of 28 pass attempts for just 112 yards and zero touchdowns against the Denver Broncos. Ward will face another excellent pass defense in Week 2 in the Los Angeles Rams, who held the Houston Texans offense to nine points and Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to 188 passing yards in Week 1. Ward, who was sacked six times in Week 1, may have a tough time avoiding negative plays once again in Week 2. The Rams have a dominant front four led by star edge rusher Jared Verse, and the Titans will be without starting right tackle JC Latham (hip) due to a hip injury. Ward has some long-term fantasy appeal, but he should not be started in Week 2, even in Superflex leagues.
