David Njoku
TE - Cleveland Browns
Availability
Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Njoku was listed on the injury report with a knee injury that caused him to be limited in practice for the first two sessions this week. After closing out the week with a full practice, the veteran tight end will suit up tomorrow against Pittsburgh.
David Njoku was limited at practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Njoku is coming off a strong game catching nine passes for 81 yards against the Saints last week. He should remain a TE1 play on Thursday against the Steelers.
David Njoku caught 9-of-9 targets for 81 yards in the Browns 35-14 loss to the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Njoku's nine targets were second best on the team Sunday. The veteran tight end continues to show he has a rapport with Jameis Winston. Njoku and the Browns will face a tough Steelers' defense in Week 12.
David Njoku is reportedly "highly unlikely" to be traded despite some teams expressing interest in him.
Fantasy Impact
The Browns have received interest in Njoku ahead of Tuesday's deadline. Cleveland views him as part of its long-term future. He should remain a TE1 for fantasy managers.
David Njoku caught 5-of-7 targets for 29 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
It's not the game many hoped to see from the talented tight end, but he was second on the team in targets behind Cedric Tillman and Jerry Jeudy, who tied with 11 each. Njoku will have better games and he's still a top-tier tight end with Jameis Winston at the helm, so fantasy managers will just need to take it easy and ride out the down performance this week.
