Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or David Njoku

Monday, September 8, 10:47 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz recorded three catches for 26 yards and a touchdown in his team's 21-6 Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. Ertz finished second on the Commanders in targets (five), behind only wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (10). The 34-year-old tight end is not an explosive player, but he's proven to be a reliable end zone target for Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. In 21 games (including playoffs) playing with Daniels, Ertz has found the end zone nine times. He profiles as a fringe fantasy TE1 who is reliant on touchdowns but should provide a safe floor for fantasy managers, particularly in PPR-scoring formats.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku will make his 2025 debut against the Cincinnati Bengals at home in Week 1. With Joe Flacco back under center after a stint with the team in 2023, Njoku is primed to get off to a hot start this season. Flacco and Njoku showed excellent chemistry together two years ago, combining for 30 receptions, 390 yards, and four touchdowns in five games together. The Bengals were the worst team in the league against tight ends last season as they allowed the most fantasy points per game to the position. Njoku is a top-six fantasy tight end heading into Week 1.
