Who Should I Start? David Njoku or DJ Moore

Monday, September 15, 8:17 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is off to a slow start in 2025. After his four-catch, 40-yard performance in a lopsided Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Njoku has just seven catches for 77 scoreless yards through two games. Meanwhile, fellow Cleveland tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has officially become a concern for Njoku's fantasy managers as the rookie has outproduced the veteran with 12 catches for 111 yards. Njoku is likely to bounce back, although a struggling Cleveland offense led by an ineffective Joe Flacco doesn't offer much hope for upside. Njoku will hope to get his season on track in Week 3 against a Green Bay Packers defense that has given up big games to Sam LaPorta (six catches for 79 yards) and Zach Ertz (six catches for 64 yards and a touchdown) this season. Njoku is worth a look as a low-end TE1 in fantasy thanks to the favorable matchup in Week 3.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore had an up-and-down season opener against the Minnesota Vikings, catching three of five targets for 68 yards while adding three carries for eight yards on the ground. Moore had chances for a bigger day, including a potential touchdown that Caleb Williams overthrew and a missed fourth-down conversion where Moore was open across the middle. What's more concerning is that Moore trailed second-year receiver Rome Odunze in snap count, target share, and route participation, a trend worth monitoring in the future. Still, Week 2 brings a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions, who allowed the most receiving yards to wideouts in 2024. Moore has historically thrived against Detroit, posting at least six catches and 60 yards, along with scoring a touchdown in three of his last four meetings. Moore enters this NFC North showdown as a high-end WR3 with upside, especially if Williams can connect on the opportunities that slipped away in Week 1.
