Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Tony Pollard

Sunday, October 5, 1:36 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku scored and led his team in receiving on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, turning nine targets into six catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately for Cleveland, it wasn't quite enough, as the offense couldn't seal the game and the defense surrendered the lead in the final 30 seconds. The big tight end, however, had his best game of the season with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who found both Njoku and fellow tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for touchdowns. The Browns' typically volatile QB situation presents risk, but Sunday was an encouraging day for fantasy managers that showed Njoku still can be a productive fantasy player, even alongside Fannin getting targets and a rookie throwing the ball.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has seen a fairly heavy workload through the first four games of the season. Pollard has carried the ball 14 times or more every game, but he could see his workload decrease going forward. Fellow back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is currently questionable for the Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Spears has been out all season long, but appears to be almost ready to go. Pollard will likely see less carries once Spears returns. Until then, Pollard figures to remain the workhorse back in Tennessee. Pollard has rushed for 60 yards or more in three of his first four games of the season. The status of Spears could shift his value, but for now Pollard has flex appeal for Week 5.
