Start ‘Em
David Njoku
Cleveland Browns vs Cincinnati Bengals
This season the Browns will have QB Deshaun Watson for the entire season which is good for David Njoku as Watson targets the TE a lot. In less than 3 seasons in the NFL Deshaun Watson has thrown 21 touchdown passes to the TE position. Last season the Bengals gave up 932 receiving yards to opposing TEs . They gave up receiving 3 touchdowns last season. They gave up a top 10 TE finish in 6 of the 17 games that they played last season. The Bengals gave up 11.41 fantasy points per game to opposing TEs last season. They were the 18th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Gerald Everett
Los Angles Chargers vs
Miami Dolphins
This season the Chargers have a new offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore who is coming over from the Dallas Cowboys. While Moore was with the Cowboys TEs always had good production and had a good role in the passing game. Last season the Dolphins gave up 888 receiving yards to opposing TEs . They gave up 10 receiving touchdowns last season. They gave up a top 10 TE finish in 6 of the 17 games that they played last season. The Dolphins gave up 13.51 fantasy points per game to opposing TEs last season. They were the 27th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Sit ‘Em
Zach Ertz
Arizona Cardinals @ Washington Commanders
Zach Ertz suffered a torn ACL in Week 10 of the 2022 NFL season. Due to the injury Ertz is unsure if he will return in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders. Last season the Commanders gave up 622 receiving yards to opposing TEs . They gave up 5 receiving touchdowns last season. They gave up a top 10 TE finish in 5 of the 17 games that they played last season. The Commanders gave up 8.36 fantasy points per game to opposing TEs last season. They were the 2nd ranked defense at defending the TE position.
Josiah Deguara
Green Bay Packers @
Chicago Bears
Josiah Deguara is set to be the new starting TE for the Packers as the team moved on from Robert Tonyan. Last season Deguara had only 1 reception for the entire season. The Packers also have a new QB in Jordan Love so there is some mystery in how much Love will involve the TE in the pass game. Last season the Bears gave up 547 receiving yards to opposing TEs . They gave up receiving 6 touchdowns last season. They gave up a top 10 TE finish in 3 of the 17 games that they played last season. The Bears gave up 8.48 fantasy points per game to opposing TEs last season. They were the 5th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
