Pat Freiermuth or David Njoku: Who should I start for Week 14 Fantasy Football

Streaming tight ends has proven to be a valuable strategy in fantasy football, with the goal being to optimize all positions in a lineup. It will be a bit more difficult to do so in Week 14 with six NFL teams on a bye, but Pat Freiermuth and David Njoku have emerged as solid options. Here's which one of them is a better pick this week.

Is Pat Freiermuth a good fantasy pick in Week 14?

Pat Freiermuth

Pat Freiermuth is a typical streaming tight end during the 2024 fantasy football season, currently ranking as the overall TE16 and making him a borderline starter in most weeks. He will hold more value than usual in Week 14 due to all of the bye weeks, as well as him currently being on his best stretch of the season.

The veteran has finished as the TE8 or better in two of his past four games since the Pittsburgh Steelers served their own bye week. This gives him positive momentum heading into a matchup against the Cleveland Browns, who he finished as the TE15 against in their first meeting this year.

Is David Njoku a good fantasy pick in Week 14?

David Njoku

David Njoku has elevated his fantasy football value in recent weeks for the Cleveland Browns. He has finished among the top ten weekly tight ends four times in his past six games, scoring four total touchdowns during that stretch with 39 receptions along the way.

The challenge for Njoku in Week 14 is a difficult matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers' elite defense. He struggled against them in their first meeting just two weeks ago when he recorded just one reception for nine yards. Njoku will look for better results in a rematch this week.
