Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Chig Okonkwo

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Cleveland Browns are placing running backs Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong Jr. (concussion) and tight end David Njoku (knee) on Injured Reserve, ending their season. All three players were previously ruled out for Sunday's game, and this move opens up additional roster spots for the Browns on Saturday. As a result, fantasy managers should expect D'Onta Foreman and John Kelly to see most of the snaps in the backfield on Saturday afternoon against the Baltimore Ravens. Jordan Akins will likely get the start at tight end. Ford opened the season as the starter with Nick Chubb sidelined and reclaimed that role for the past few weeks when Chubb's season ended due to a foot fracture. Njoku also batted injuries throughout the season but began to find his footing over his past five contests, averaging 15.4 PPR points. Foreman and Akins are viable plays in deeper formats this weekend and are high-floor options in DFS.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo is reportedly looking good in recent open practices. Okonkwo has caught the most passes during OTAs and appears to be building a strong chemistry with rookie quarterback Cam Ward. The former fourth-round pick hasn't been too successful over his first three seasons. Over the last two years, Okonkwo has hauled in 50-plus receptions and under 550 receiving yards both seasons. The Titans don't have a ton of competition at tight end, so Okonkwo should remain the top option at that position. We could possibly be looking at a breakout campaign if these two continue building chemistry.
