Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Troy Franklin

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) will take on the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. Njoku practiced fully on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday and is listed without an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest. That being said, Njoku sets up as a low-end TE2 in Week 5. He continues to split tight-end looks with Harold Fannin Jr., which has cut into his fantasy value. The Browns will also trot out rookie Dillon Gabriel to make his NFL debut against Minnesota's exceptional pass defense, so expect the offense to skew run-heavy. Njoku is fine to utilize in fantasy, but he's not a must-start this weekend.

After posting a dud in week 3 after a breakout game in Week 2, Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin led the team with eight targets in Monday's win over the Bengals. With the Philadelphia Eagles having a middle-of-the-pack pass defense (ranked 15th), Franklin can continue to be a focal point. At the same time, the Eagles are forced to focus on Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has seemingly favored Franklin as the WR2 on the offense, considering he has the same amount of targets as Sutton on the season. In what could be a defensive game for both sides, feel confident in starting Franklin as a WR3/ FLEX option as he comes in as RotoBaller's WR35 for Week 5.
