Who Should I Start? David Njoku or George Kittle

Wednesday, November 20, 2:27 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) logged a full practice on Wednesday following limited sessions on Monday and Tuesday due to a knee injury. He has been removed from the injury report and is good to go against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football. The former first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft has seen his fantasy football stock rise after Jameis Winston took over for the injured Deshaun Watson. Since Week 7, Njoku has averaged 13.3 half-PPR fantasy points per game, so despite the tough matchup against the Steelers defense, he's a clear TE1 play for Week 12. With six teams on a bye, he is a virtual must-start this week despite the low floor of the Cleveland offense on a short week.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) intends to play on Sunday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Kittle was held out of action last weekend and was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. The Iowa product has enjoyed another fantastic campaign, averaging an impressive 17.6 PPR points per game. He has found the end zone seven times in eight games and averaged a solid 70.0 receiving yards per game. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status throughout the week in case he faces a setback, but he should be expected to return to action and be started in all formats as a high-end TE1.
