David Njoku: The Chief is back! Hopefully. After a couple of lackluster weeks with Joe Flacco at the helm, Njoku appears to be reinvigorated with Gabriel leading the squad. Not only did he climb the ladder for a ridiculous catch over double coverage, but he also finally found the endzone. It has only been one week, but David is looking like a strong TE1/flex play in the coming weeks.
Dillon Gabriel: It was not the prettiest performance, but Dillon Gabriel looked both competent and confident in his first start. While I wouldn’t start him just yet, as he managed only 16 fantasy points last week, I would keep an eye on him as QB1 byes start to roll around.

Jerry Jeudy: I don’t know who this guy is anymore. Two catches on five targets? Either our receiving core is so bad that all eyes are on Jeudy, or he has simply given up. It may be a combination of both. Keep Jerry on your bench with no plans to take him off anytime soon.
Shedeur Sanders: I know a lot of people want to see number 12 take the field as a starter, but it doesn’t seem like Stefanski has any plans to do that this year. With speculations of Bailey Zappe being moved up to QB2 on the depth chart, I think the earliest we could possibly see Shedeur start this year is week 10 (that, of course being that he hasn’t been traded yet).
