Who Should I Start? David Njoku or T.J. Hockenson

Sunday, August 24, 7:31 AM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught both of his targets for 20 yards in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Njoku got his first action of the preseason, catching a pair of balls from starter Joe Flacco in the team's final tune-up before they prepare to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Njoku remains a rock-solid mid-range TE1 in fantasy leagues and should be a safe selection heading into drafts.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (hip, leg) will take part in Wednesday's training camp practice, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. Hockenson injured his hip/leg during Saturday's practice and was walking around with a noticeable limp, but it wasn't a serious injury, and he's already back on the practice field. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Vikings hold the 28-year-old out of their preseason opener this Saturday against the Houston Texans, but Hockenson shouldn't be in any danger of not being ready for Week 1 of the regular season. The two-time Pro Bowler played in only 10 games (nine starts) in his second full season with Minnesota last year due to injury, but he proved in 2023 that he's at least a midrange TE1 in fantasy when healthy with a 95-960-5 line. Hockenson should see more targets to begin the year with receiver Jordan Addison suspended, too.
