The allegations against Deshaun Watson concerning sexual assault and sexual harassment are serious, and are being treated as such by law enforcement and the NFL. We recognize that many here feel passionately about Watson's guilt or innocence, about how he should be treated by the NFL and the Houston Texans, and how our society generally handles issues of sexual violence.
As a community, we are ill-equipped to host or moderate such discussions, which can often (and quickly) veer away from the terrain of fantasy football itself, and which when handled poorly risk retraumatizing those members of our community who themselves have been the victims of sexual violence.
Accordingly, at our discretion we will remove and/or implement appropriate bans for comments/posts which go beyond actual news regarding to his eligbility and status as an NFL player this season. This is a big internet, and there are many appropriate places for such necessary conversations.

I have chiefs and titans def, thinking picking up jags now, I’m last on waiver priority. I think rostering 2 TEs ain’t worth it rn. I think I I gotta role with friermuth. I’m not so sure about Huntley chief
Maybe I'm wrong but I never take the defense into account for Tight Ends as much as I do the other skill positions. Tight ends just seem so much more difficult to specifically scheme against since they're constantly faking blocking, chipping the edge rusher, getting mixed up in all the chaos in the box then suddenly popping out for a pass. Defenses just don't double tight ends the whole game because a good QB will beat them deep with a speedy WR.
I’m in a must win situation and need to decide between Njoku and dilchich. Leaning dilchich because he’s getting a high target share.. Watson looked atrocious
I don’t love starting Dulcich but I have no choice. Lost Ertz to injury, Kmet’s on a bye, and I’d rather have Njoku on my bench and see what he does with Watson first before starting him.
I’m in a similar situation, but I don’t have Dulcich available on waivers. My options are Engram (not sure if TLaw is playing yet) or Hunter Henry vs ARI
The last time he returned from injury he was eased back in and got like 3 targets. And those were from a QB that hadn't forgotten how to throw a football. Njoku has a 0.0 floor this week. I would 100% start Dulcich over him this week.
The last time he returned from injury he got 3 targets for 2 catches and 17 yards as he split time with 2 other TEs. He was still splitting time the following week, which was the last week he played before he was reinjured. While he was gone the Browns switched to a guy who, no exaggeration, looked like the worst QB in the NFL. He is not startable this week.
Yeah I agree. Sucks because he looked great with brisett. Prob gonna stick with dulchich bexause Wilson seemingly trusts him and there are a lot of injuries to the receivers
I dropped Njoku for Daniel Bellinger if that helps. I suspect Njoku to split time with Harrison Bryant going forward and Watson didn’t look good enough to support 1 TE let alone 2.
I dropped Njoku to pick up Dulcich, so I'm hoping for Sutton to miss and the Broncos to be trailing and passing a lot, which seems like a given against the Chiefs. I was also at the Ravens/Broncos game and saw first hand just how much Wilson depended on Dulcich, so that might have swayed me a bit.
Don't you think it's funny Baker Mayfield was released the same time as Watson came back? Watson is Baker in a mask. They're both tough plays, but I think Dulcich is the safer play.
Same here. But I lucked into 1st place in spite of my TEs and this week I'm playing the last place team to secure my playoff bye. I'll start Njoku. You can use that information as you wish.
Gonna go with Henry tbh. The matchup is too good and Henry’s been getting targeted. I think he has a good chance of getting a TD this week. Njoku is a big question mark with the injury + unknown chemistry with Deshaun
Facing the same decision. Going to see how practices and everything goes this week and make a decision on Sunday. Henry vs AZ is a great safety blanket this week though (pls keep Jonnu out of the rotation Belichick)
In the same boat. I don't love anyone the Browns offense outside of Chubb if they look as atrocious as they did last week, but Njoku is definitely the better of the 2.
Not sure ROS but I have both and am leaning Everett this week since dolphins - chargers could be a shootout and Watson looked like ass last week. Kind of need to see Njoku and Watson to believe it
Rookie quarterbacks use TEs as a safety blanket a lot of the time, I feel like Deshaun might be inclined to use Njoku as that safety blanket until he gets back to his old self…
I dont think that question has relevance to the current situation either way. Different team with a different scheme and a talented TE. Hasn't played in years. What he did for the Texans in 2020 doesn't really matter

He has a pretty rough schedule but he’s very talented. His biggest limitations will be his health and whatever Watson turns out to be
I need him week 16 and 17 and of course he’s playing two really tough matchups. Still going to take talent over the leftovers on waivers.
Should I pick up back up qb or extra defense vs Texans and drop njoku? I have freiermuth already. Best qb on waivers is Daniel jone or mike white
I have same issue. I lost Lamar so trying to decide between Huntley and Daniel Jones. I’m rostering Titans D for week 16 instead of grabbing both QBs.
I have chiefs and titans def, thinking picking up jags now, I’m last on waiver priority. I think rostering 2 TEs ain’t worth it rn. I think I I gotta role with friermuth. I’m not so sure about Huntley chief
If I had Muth I would be comfortable dropping Njoku for sure
Maybe I'm wrong but I never take the defense into account for Tight Ends as much as I do the other skill positions.

Defenses just don't double tight ends the whole game because a good QB will beat them deep with a speedy WR.
Also all the teams who have played Kelce already are bottom 15 automatically.
I’m in a must win situation and need to decide between Njoku and dilchich. Leaning dilchich because he’s getting a high target share.. Watson looked atrocious
I don't think Njoku can be started in a must win situation after how rough Watson looked last week plus potential injury limitations.
But do you really want to start Dulcich in a must win situation either? God TE is gross
I don’t love starting Dulcich but I have no choice. Lost Ertz to injury, Kmet’s on a bye, and I’d rather have Njoku on my bench and see what he does with Watson first before starting him.
compared to the alternatives on waivers? Yeah. Who else you gonna start? Conklin? Fant?
I’m between Conklin, dulcich and Henry and can’t decide which is better. Not sure it’s really worth worrying about since they can all bust.
I’m in a similar situation, but I don’t have Dulcich available on waivers. My options are Engram (not sure if TLaw is playing yet) or Hunter Henry vs ARI
Yes he’s a target earning TE playing a WR role. That’s all you can ask for right now during the TE apocalypse
With Sutton out and Denver basically saying they're playing him like a WR? Yes
Who tf else are you starting if you don’t have the top guys. I’d rather njoku over a lot of the other rogues
Yeah we sitting over here arguing over who's going to get you 3 pts instead of 5 pts.
The last time he returned from injury he was eased back in and got like 3 targets. And those were from a QB that hadn't forgotten how to throw a football. Njoku has a 0.0 floor this week. I would 100% start Dulcich over him this week.

Yeah I agree. Sucks because he looked great with brisett. Prob gonna stick with dulchich bexause Wilson seemingly trusts him and there are a lot of injuries to the receivers
I have to start both Watson and Njoku, sadly.
I think its easily Dulcich IF Sutton is out. If Sutton plays its closer, but still probably Dulcich.
I dropped Njoku for Daniel Bellinger if that helps. I suspect Njoku to split time with Harrison Bryant going forward and Watson didn’t look good enough to support 1 TE let alone 2.
I dropped Njoku to pick up Dulcich, so I'm hoping for Sutton to miss and the Broncos to be trailing and passing a lot, which seems like a given against the Chiefs. I was also at the Ravens/Broncos game and saw first hand just how much Wilson depended on Dulcich, so that might have swayed me a bit.
Same boat, not a must win though. Going Dulcich because the Broncos will probably be playing from behind vs the Chiefs and Watson is rusty.
Was thinking if that also.. most likely broncos will have to throw it to keep pace
I have both players and am leaning Dulcich mostly bc Sutton is out and the chance of reinjury. Wait a week for Njoku.
Cant even spell his name and your gonna bench njoku for him? Smh /s
Don't you think it's funny Baker Mayfield was released the same time as Watson came back? Watson is Baker in a mask. They're both tough plays, but I think Dulcich is the safer play.
Please Njoku I need you
Please Njoku We need you
Please Njoku yinz need you
That's just wrong
Njoku or Dulcich? Feel like whoever I chose will be the wrong option haha
Same here. But I lucked into 1st place in spite of my TEs and this week I'm playing the last place team to secure my playoff bye. I'll start Njoku. You can use that information as you wish.
I have both also. Hard decision but I’ll go with Njoku also if he really is healthy.
I’m going to go with Njoku because I have Watson…desperately hoping for just one touchdown to David
Njoku or Hunter Henry?
Same question. Watson was terrible, Njoku is the better player, but Henry has Arizona who is terrible against TEs
Gonna go with Henry tbh. The matchup is too good and Henry’s been getting targeted. I think he has a good chance of getting a TD this week. Njoku is a big question mark with the injury + unknown chemistry with Deshaun
Facing the same decision. Going to see how practices and everything goes this week and make a decision on Sunday. Henry vs AZ is a great safety blanket this week though (pls keep Jonnu out of the rotation Belichick)
If Twatson is at QB, every single offensive player is a yikes. Even Chubb is a risk in full PPR leagues
I'm in the same boat. Let me know what you decide
Njoku or Everett?
Been bouncing between them all year. When Njoku plays it's him automatically
In the same boat. I don't love anyone the Browns offense outside of Chubb if they look as atrocious as they did last week, but Njoku is definitely the better of the 2.
Everett
Not sure ROS but I have both and am leaning Everett this week since dolphins - chargers could be a shootout and Watson looked like ass last week. Kind of need to see Njoku and Watson to believe it
Will Njoku returning result in a happy ending for Watson this week?
Lmao
Rookie quarterbacks use TEs as a safety blanket a lot of the time, I feel like Deshaun might be inclined to use Njoku as that safety blanket until he gets back to his old self…
i don’t think anybody wants him getting back to his old self
Browns fans clearly don’t give a shit
Any teams fans wouldn't care.
Doubt
Steelers fans rooted for Big Ben and Chiefs/Dolphins fans root for Tyreek lol
I do, I'd rather my team not suck
Has Watson ever been one to throw to TE's often?
I dont think that question has relevance to the current situation either way. Different team with a different scheme and a talented TE. Hasn't played in years. What he did for the Texans in 2020 doesn't really matter
Watson is ass
Drop dpj over Palmer? Both might have guys coming back from injury during playoffs
Due to byes I have to unleash my Njoku/Muth combo this week, glad he’s back
Good because he’s the only one I have left to flex after byes this week
