Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Tucker Kraft

Friday, January 2, 1:45 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, according to Browns Zone's Scott Petrak. Njoku has not practiced or played since injuring his knee on a touchdown reception back in Week 14. The 29-year-old will finish his ninth year in the NFL with a disappointing 33 receptions for 293 yards and four touchdowns on 48 targets. Njoku just was unable to become fantasy relevant in most leagues due to the presence of rookie Harold Fannin Jr. (groin), who ended up being the team's leading receiver in 2025. Fannin will also sit out the season finale, leaving the Browns to mix and match at tight end this weekend with Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates, and Sal Cannella.

Tests on Monday confirmed that Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's a massive blow to the Packers and fantasy managers, as Kraft was in the midst of a breakout campaign in 2025. The 25-year-old former third-round pick will now finish his third year in the NFL with 32 catches on 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games played. Kraft was coming off a massive seven-catch, 143-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Week 8 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Kraft now done for the year, Luke Musgrave becomes a waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in need of help at the TE position. Receivers Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden should also see more targets in the passing game going forward.
