Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Mike Gesicki

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.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) has been placed on Injured Reserve due to a pectoral injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 30-year-old has recorded eight catches for 61 yards on 16 targets through his first six games of 2025. He will now miss at least the next four games for Cincinnati. With Gesicki sidelined and tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) questionable to play in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Bengals will likely turn to Noah Fant and Drew Sample to handle the tight end snaps. Fant has recorded 16 catches for 107 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets across five games this season and could be a low-end streaming option for fantasy managers in Week 7.
