Start: David Njoku, Cleveland Browns

@ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The rise of David Njoku has continued with Baker Mayfield in the lineup. Mayfield has developed a nice chemistry with the young tight end. Over the past two weeks, Njoku has had double digit targets.

He is becoming a more consistent player which is making slightly more than a high upside fantasy play.

The Cleveland Browns offensive attack isn’t lighting the world on fire, but this is to be expected with a rookie quarterback. Mayfield will have his share of bumps in the road which will impact those around him.

However, it appears that he trusts Njoku and looks his way often. This is a situation where you might want to jump to add Njoku to your roster. He could probably be had cheaply in the right trade.

Sit: Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins

vs. Dallas Cowboys

It’s very surprising to see Jordan Reed healthy and not producing. Injuries have derailed most of Reed’s career, but this year he has been able to stay on the field. The problem is that he just isn’t turning this targets into fantasy points.

Another problem is that the Washington Redskins offensive attack hasn’t been overly explosive. A lot of Alex Smith’s attempts have been thrown in the direction of running back Chris Thompson.
