Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Elic Ayomanor

Friday, December 12, 1:30 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old aggravated an existing knee injury during Cleveland's Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he will now be sidelined for at least one game as a result. Without Njoku, Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end. With Njoku banged up in Week 14, Fannin Jr. hauled in eight receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. In Njoku's lone missed game this season, Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins, Fannin Jr. earned a 27.8% target share. Depending on how long Njoku is sidelined by his current injury, Fannin Jr. could have league-winning upside.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has recorded only one reception in each of the past two games, but scored his first touchdown since Week 3 last week against the Cleveland Browns. The rookie fourth-rounder has maintained a near every-down role since the start of the season, playing 81.5% of the snaps in 12 games. Ayomanor has earned at least five targets in all but two games played this season, but it hasn't translated into much fantasy production in a poor Titans offense, averaging just 6.9 PPR points per game. The rookie wideout profiles as a deep league flex option in a favorable Week 15 matchup against a San Francisco 49ers defense that has allowed the eighth most passing yards per game this season.
