Who Should I Start? David Njoku or George Kittle

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku scored his third touchdown of the season in a Week 10 loss to the New York Jets. It was a quiet game for Njoku other than that, however, as he only finished with two catches for 21 yards in the loss. He will look to carve out a larger role for himself in a Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at home. The Ravens have been stout against tight ends this season, allowing just the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to the position. Njoku popped up on the injury report with a limited session on Wednesday but it was just a veteran rest day as he is listed without an injury designation heading into the weekend. The emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has capped Njoku's ceiling in the Cleveland offense, leaving him as a mid-range TE2 heading into Week 11.

Earlier this week, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle told members of the media that he is "looking forward" to playing with Brock Purdy (toe) once again in Week 11, highlighting the quarterback's energy and leadership on the field. Purdy, who has thrown Kittle 21 of his 48 regular-season touchdowns, has not played with Kittle since Week 1. Kittle caught four passes from Purdy for 25 yards and one touchdown in that game before he left early with a hamstring injury that sent him to injured reserve. Also returning from injury in time for the 49ers' rematch with the Arizona Cardinals is wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee). Pearsall's presence might take work away from Kittle, but it should also spread the Cardinals' defense out and make it possible for Kittle to be more productive even with fewer targets. As usual, Kittle is projected as a TE1 and should be locked into starting lineups in Week 11.
