Who Should I Start? David Njoku or Tyler Warren

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is missing another day of practice due to his knee injury on Thursday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Njoku didn't practice at all last week, either, and sat out of the loss to the Chicago Bears. The 29-year-old is trending toward missing another game in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills unless he can return to practice on Friday. As of right now, fantasy managers shouldn't plan on rolling with him as a TE2 streamer this weekend, especially since rookie Harold Fannin Jr. has been the better option in fantasy in 2025 as Cleveland's leading pass-catching tight end. Njoku enters Week 16 play with 33 receptions on 48 targets for 293 yards and four touchdowns, while Fannin has produced 66 catches for 667 yards and four scores on his 99 targets.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren is only 13 games into his career at the professional level. However, he's already established himself as one of the top tight ends in the National Football League. The 2025 No. 14 overall pick has had a few rough showings, although he still ranks among the top names at the position in several statistical areas, including receptions (60), receiving yards (699), and touchdowns (four). With Indy hoping to remain in the playoff picture, the team will need a win over Seattle on Sunday. Without question, the Seahawks have one of the most imposing defenses in the NFL, meaning it could be a difficult day for the Colts offense, especially with Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard under center in place of Daniel Jones (Achilles), who is done for at least the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Still, there aren't many tight ends with as high of a ceiling as Warren, so fantasy managers should keep him starting and hope for the best. It's also worth noting that Seattle has struggled against opposing tight ends throughout the season, giving fantasy managers a reason to stay optimistic.
