Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Dallas Goedert

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) remains day-to-day on Monday, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Njoku injured his knee in the Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and was unable to practice all of last week before being ruled out of the blowout win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The 29-year-old's knee injury isn't all that serious, so he could have a chance to play in Week 8 against the New England Patriots if he's able to return to practice this week. If Njoku makes it back to face New England on Sunday, he'll be in play as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 for fantasy purposes. Impressive rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. had the best game of his career against Pittsburgh with a 7-81-0 line, but disappointed with four catches for 36 yards against Miami with Njoku sidelined. Njoku's upside as a TE1 in fantasy has been capped in 2025 with Fannin involved.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert cannot be stopped from scoring this season, as he found the end zone for his fourth straight game against the Giants. On top of that, Goedert had his most impressive overall showing yet, racking up nine catches on 11 targets for 110 yards. His next opponent is the Vikings, who are tough on WRs but allow the 13th-most fantasy points to tight ends. In Minnesota's last game, Browns tight end David Njoku led his team in receptions and receiving yards. Goedert has given no reason to doubt his production when it comes to red zone looks, and should be considered a solid TE1 in Week 7.
