Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Sam LaPorta

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has been cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Njoku was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday but will play in Week 14 despite managing a knee injury. The 29-year-old tight end hasn't had much production in recent weeks, recording just five receptions (six targets) for 32 yards and one touchdown over the past four games. The veteran has played behind impressive rookie Harold Fannin Jr. and isn't a trustworthy fantasy option with his current role in the Browns' low-scoring offense. Fantasy managers are better off looking elsewhere for a potential streaming option in Week 14.

According to Detroit Football Network's Justin Rogers, Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) is likely to miss the remainder of the season after successful surgery on his back. The 24-year-old was amid a rebound campaign, posting a 40/489/3 line before sustaining a back injury in their 44-22 win over the Commanders in Week 10. However, his status quickly deteriorated, and he's now facing a significant recovery. Fellow tight end Brock Wright (ankle) will operate as Detroit's TE1 in his teammate's stead, with Ross Dwelley working in behind him. Neither projects to be particularly useful for fantasy.
