Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Dallas Goedert

Friday, January 3, 1:24 PM

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.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (groin) will practice in a limited capacity on Tuesday due to a groin injury, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Goedert is a new addition to the team's injury report. Missed time has been a consistent issue for Goedert throughout his career, as he's missed at least three games in four out of his last five seasons. The 30-year-old is an efficient receiving tight end who typically does not see many targets in the Eagles' run-heavy offense. However, Goedert could be a great value early in the season if current injuries to A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (groin) keep the Eagles' top two wide receivers sidelined for a significant stretch.
