David Njoku, TE, Cleveland Browns

DraftKings Price: $4,200
Projected Points: 11.6

This is the second week in a row that David Njoku was my choice for the stud tight end of the week. Njoku didn't let us down in Week 6, as he balled out against the Los Angeles Chargers, hauling in 7-of-12 targets for 55 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. He's in prime position to explode in Week 7 against the Buccaneers' wretched defense.

While we already discussed how poorly the Buccaneers defense has been, we can now focus on why Njoku is good in his own right, no matter who the opponent is week to week.

Over the last three weeks (that align with when Baker Mayfield took over the starting quarterback job), Njoku has 29 targets, 18 receptions, 176 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. Those are superb numbers from such a volatile position. And somehow his price tag only climbed a few hundred dollars over that span so he's still just $4,200.

In the three Mayfield starts, Njoku has a 23.44% target share, tying Jarvis Landry for the team lead. The only tight end on the main slate with a higher target share over the last three games is Zach Ertz -- $7,100 -- and his 28.81% rate.
