Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Dallas Goedert

Sunday, October 26, 11:34 AM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New England Patriots. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The 29-year-old is returning from a one-game absence and should step back into the No. 1 tight end role on Sunday. Through six games this year, he has 23 catches, 223 yards, and one touchdown, ranking as the overall TE20 in PPR leagues. Njoku has 15 targets, nine catches, 95 yards, and a touchdown through two games with Dillon Gabriel, so perhaps he'll find success as a high-end TE2 this week. It helps that he's playing the Patriots, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points and eighth-most receptions to opposing tight ends in 2025.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) does not carry an injury designation on the Friday injury report. Goedert's touchdown streak finally came to an end last week after four straight games of scoring. It was an overall poor showing for Goedert, who had just three targets-his second-lowest in a game this season-amounting to three catches for 18 yards. However, on Sunday he's up against the Giants, who he torched in Week 6 for 110 yards on nine catches in his best performance yet. Now without A.J. Brown, it's fair to assume Goedert is in for another heavy workload against New York. The G-Men give up the 12th-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this year, but that should be offset by Jalen Hurts' need to rely on a favorite weapon with another forced to the sidelines. Goedert is an enticing TE1 in Week 8.
