Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught five of his seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in a 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Njoku finished fourth on the Browns in receiving yards while hauling in a 23-yard touchdown pass from Jameis Winston in the third quarter, his second touchdown catch over his past two games. The veteran tight end is looking like a top option at the position moving forward with the Cleveland offense all of a sudden looking competent with Winston under center. Treat Njoku as a high-end TE1 heading into Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught four of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. This performance was a big step back from his seven-catch, 96-yard outing last week against the Indianapolis Colts. His day could've been slightly better if not for a dropped pass that hit him in the chest. Smith receiving six targets is encouraging for fantasy managers, especially given the number of viable pass-catchers Miami has. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returning to the lineup only helps his outlook moving forward. Look for Smith's connection to improve with Tua down the stretch. It starts next week against the division rival Buffalo Bills, who rank in the middle of the pack against opposing tight ends.
