Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Trey McBride

Friday, December 12, 1:30 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old aggravated an existing knee injury during Cleveland's Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he will now be sidelined for at least one game as a result. Without Njoku, Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end. With Njoku banged up in Week 14, Fannin Jr. hauled in eight receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. In Njoku's lone missed game this season, Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins, Fannin Jr. earned a 27.8% target share. Depending on how long Njoku is sidelined by his current injury, Fannin Jr. could have league-winning upside.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride has been a consistent fantasy superstar all season. This year, McBride has only finished outside of the Top-12 tight ends twice in weekly finishes and is the TE1 overall by a healthy margin in PPR leagues. Entering Week 15, McBride is RotoBaller's No. 1 tight end in all formats in a difficult matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans' defense has allowed the fewest receiving touchdowns and the fourth-fewest receptions this season. The Cardinals' offense will be forced to funnel their targets to McBride and Michael Wilson on Sunday, with Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) ruled out for a second straight week. In the last three games Harrison has missed, McBride and Wilson have been targeted on just over 52 percent of Jacoby Brissett's passing attempts. Despite a tough matchup, McBride remains a set-it-and-forget-it TE1 heading into Week 15.
