Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Kyle Pitts

Saturday, September 23, 7:23 AM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has caught six of his seven targets for 72 scoreless yards through his first two games of the season. He could be in line for a larger role in the offense now that the team will be without Nick Chubb for the rest of the season. Njoku will face off against the Tennessee Titans at home in Week 3 in what sets up as a decent matchup for him as the Titans are allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends through two weeks. Njoku can be started as a low-end TE1 heading into Week 3.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has continued to be disappointing in fantasy football, catching just four passes for 49 yards thus far in 2023. However, the tight end position is scarce and weak overall, so fantasy managers might just want to ride it out with him and hope a boom week comes. His Week 3 matchup, the Detroit Lions, have allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends through two weeks. Against the Seattle Seahawks last week, Detroit gave up nine receptions for 99 yards to the trio of Noah Fant, Colby Parkinson, and Will Dissly. Given the juicy matchup, it's too early to lose faith and bench Pitts in Week 3 fantasy lineups.
