Tight End

David Njoku, Cleveland Browns: Another player who got fantasy managers out to exactly the kind of start they were hoping for on Thursday night, David Njoku caught six passes for 134 yards. He would have had even bigger numbers if the Browns hadn't started to call the dogs off in the second half of this game.

Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints: Juwan Johnson was one of those tight ends who many thought would be a great under-the-radar sleeper when their drafts rolled around this summer, but he largely disappointed. Well, patience often pays.

He had what was easily his best game of the season on Sunday, catching eight passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. Prior to that, his best statistical game of the season came back in early November, when he caught five passes for 29 yards and a score.
