Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Jace Sternberger

Friday, January 3, 1:24 PM

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Cleveland Browns are placing running backs Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong Jr. (concussion) and tight end David Njoku (knee) on Injured Reserve, ending their season. All three players were previously ruled out for Sunday's game, and this move opens up additional roster spots for the Browns on Saturday. As a result, fantasy managers should expect D'Onta Foreman and John Kelly to see most of the snaps in the backfield on Saturday afternoon against the Baltimore Ravens. Jordan Akins will likely get the start at tight end. Ford opened the season as the starter with Nick Chubb sidelined and reclaimed that role for the past few weeks when Chubb's season ended due to a foot fracture. Njoku also batted injuries throughout the season but began to find his footing over his past five contests, averaging 15.4 PPR points. Foreman and Akins are viable plays in deeper formats this weekend and are high-floor options in DFS.

The Buffalo Bills waived tight end Jace Sternberger on Sunday. The Packers drafted the 27-year-old in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. However, he appeared in only 18 games in Green Bay, catching 12 balls for 114 yards and a touchdown. Since then, he made brief stops in Seattle, Washington, and Pittsburgh before Buffalo signed him at the start of training camp. But nobody expected Sternberger to make the Week 1 roster, especially with Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid on the depth chart.
