Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Jayden Higgins

Despite the Cleveland Browns being well out of the playoff hunt and seeing the emergence of a rookie tight end, the team is unlikely to move veteran tight end David Njoku at the trade deadline, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Harold Fannin Jr., a rookie from Bowling Green, has been one of the team's few bright spots on offense, breaking out for 38 catches, 352 yards, and two touchdowns through eight games, which has made Njoku the subject of trade conjecture, but Schefter is reporting the Browns are more likely to buy than sell. For managers, Njoku is still a top-20 fantasy tight end alongside Fannin, but the continued split likely will keep him from being a solid, every-week starting tight end like he had been in years past.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins worked his way into a larger role for the team while injuries to Christian Kirk (hamstring) and Nico Collins (concussion) opened an opportunity. While he still has upside, he's tough to count on in fantasy linesups for Week 9 against the tough Broncos secondary, with both Kirk and Collins cleared to return. Higgins had four catches for 34 yards and a touchdown in Week 8's win, leading the team in targets with eight. He is unlikely to see that much volume this week, but he has shown an ability to make big plays, with two touchdowns on the season. This week, he'll be a touchdown-dependent flier play in a flex spot, and he's only the WR70 in RotoBaller's rankings. There are probably better options available for your lineup in most formats.
