David Njoku Week 14 Outlook - Browns at Steelers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 5th 2024, 1:05pm EST

With Jameis Winston under center, Njoku has been the TE7 in fantasy points per game, seeing a 20.1% target share with 1.18 YPRR and a 19% first-read share. Across his last five games, he has five red zone targets and three scores. Pittsburgh utilizes single high at the highest rate in the NFL (70.8%). Against single high, since Week 8, Njoku has seen his target share fall to 18.9% while his YPRR has increased to 1.44, and his first-read share has bumped up to 22.5%. Njoku had a tough outing last time against the Steelers, securing only one of his five targets for nine scoreless yards. I'm not projecting a huge game this week from Njoku against a pass defense that shut him down last time and has held tight ends to the ninth-lowest yards per reception and 14th-fewest fantasy points per game.
