Top TEs To Start in Week 15
David Njoku, Cleveland Browns (vs. CHI)
In the first half alone last week, David Njoku caught six of eight targets for 91 yards and not one, but two, scores against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In those first 30 minutes, it was clear where Joe Flacco was comfortable — 61.5% of his targets and 64.7% of completions when to either Amari Cooper or Njoku.

Cleveland wants to run the ball early and often, but against a top-five per-carry run defense in Chicago, that might not be an option. Njoku has been a feature of this offense since Deshaun Watson went down and there’s no reason to think that changes in this spot.
Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens (at JAX)
The Mark Andrews replacement was productive in Week 12 in taking over for the All-Pro and was even better in Week 14 coming out of the bye. Isaiah Likely was left wide open on a 54-yard TD against the Rams, something many will write off as a coverage breakdown. But part of that is putting an athlete the size of Likely in motion and creating mismatches.
His athletic profile is perfect for this quick-strike Todd Monken offense, and that should continue to mean fantasy production against a Jaguars defense that creates pressure at an above-average rate.
