Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Dallas Goedert

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that the team didn't have an update yet on tight end David Njoku (knee) after he injured his knee in Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Before leaving early on Sunday, Njoku had three catches on six targets for 28 yards. With no update on Njoku's condition, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for a Week 7 tilt against the Miami Dolphins right now. If Njoku is out or limited for the upcoming game against Miami, rookie Harold Fannin Jr. would have clear TE1 upside in a plus matchup. Blake Whiteheart would also likely see the field more as Fanning's backup. Njoku is still involved in Cleveland's passing attack, but the emergence of Fannin has capped his fantasy upside as a TE1 option. Through six weeks, Njoku has a 23-223-1 line on 36 targets.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught nine of his 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown -- all team highs -- during Thursday night's loss to the New York Giants in Week 6. While the Eagles came up short, Goedert had his best game of the season. In fact, he has quietly emerged as one of the top tight ends in fantasy football, scoring double-digit points (PPR) in all five of his games. He has four consecutive games with a touchdown, finding the end zone a total of five times during that span. As players like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith continue to deal with inconsistent roles, Goedert has emerged as one of Jalen Hurts' favorite targets. He's a solid mid-range TE1 option heading into Week 7 against Minnesota.
