Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or David Njoku

Sunday, November 17, 8:19 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught three passes for 29 yards in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs were handled their first loss of the season in this contest, and their veteran receiver was held in check. The Buffalo defense was considered a formidable unit to throw on coming into this game, which proved true. Hopkins finished the game with four targets, tied with Travis Kelce and Samaje Perine for the second-most targets on the team. The Chiefs spread the ball around in this contest, and the veteran receiver had diminished production because of that approach. Hopkins will look to turn it around next week against the Carolina Panthers, who rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Fantasy managers should feel more confident starting Hopkins next week in a more favorable matchup.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught one of his five targets for nine yards and added a two-point conversion in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. Njoku was held in check on a cold, snowy evening in Cleveland despite tying for second on the team with his five targets. It could have been a better game for Njoku, who got wide open but dropped an easy touchdown pass in the end zone in the second half, although the Browns were able to bounce back and get a short Jameis Winston rushing touchdown on the ensuing play. Njoku will remain locked in as a TE1 in fantasy heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
