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 caught both of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Njoku got off to a fast start in the contest, hauling in a nine-yard touchdown pass from Dillon Gabriel in the first quarter. It was all downhill from there, however, as Njoku tacked on just one more catch, a 12-yarder, in the contest while rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught four of his seven targets for 44 yards. Njoku is on pace for his slowest season in years as he has just 29 catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns in eight games for the Browns. He will be a mid-range TE2 in Week 11's home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Njoku caught four passes for 40 scoreless yards back when these two teams met in Week 2.
