Who Should I Start? Marcedes Lewis or David Njoku

Saturday, November 1, 6:29 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Marcedes Lewis has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Houston Texans. Lewis joined the practice squad earlier in the week and is now on the active roster a few days later. The Broncos are banged up at tight end and could use another body for this weekend. The 41-year-old is unlikely to do much in terms of receiving as he hasn't hauled in more than six receptions in a single season since 2022. Lewis figures to be mainly a blocking option, so he'll be off the fantasy radar.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) practiced fully on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday and is listed without an injury designation heading into Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Njoku will look to erase memories of Week 12, which saw him go without a target while playing on 49% of the team's offensive snaps. The veteran tight end has now drawn just four total targets across his past three games as the Browns continue to look away from him when they drop back to pass. The 49ers are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends this season but Njoku can't be trusted in fantasy given his current role in the Browns' offense.
