Week 17 vs. New York Jets
David Njoku continued his newfound connection with Joe Flacco. The tight end saw nine targets last week against the Texans and scored a touchdown for the third consecutive game. Even against good Jets defense, his momentum should carry over on a short week as one of the better tight ends options. He’s worth a spot in the lineup for the championship round.
Week 16 at Houston Texans
David Njoku is turning into a league winner. In the last two weeks, Njoku has caught 16 passes for 195 yards and three touchdowns on 22 targets. Joe Flacco has found quite the friend in Njoku and so have his fantasy owners in recent weeks. No recent to think that connection can't continue. There's too much momentum here to ignore and the Texans are a favorable matchup, so ride Njoku into the fantasy final.
Week 15 vs. Chicago Bears
Joe Flacco took a liking to Amari Cooper in Week 15 but he really took a liking to David Njoku. Six catches, 91 yards and two touchdowns for Njoku against the Jaguars. He has reached 50 yards six times in nine games since Cleveland's Week 5 bye with at least six targets in every game since Week 6. He has become one of the steady options at a volatile position in fantasy. Njoku could very well be a league-winner this season.
Week 14 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
After a three-game stretch with 19 catches and averaging almost 60 yards, David Njoku dropped to just two catches for 17 yards last week against the Rams. In fact, it was a different tight end getting the glory this time as Harrison Bryant had 49 yards and a touchdown on five catches. The Jaguars are one of the better teams against opposing tight ends, but Joe Flacco should eventually look Njoku's way. He still brings some upside thanks to the volume he had been receiving, even if it was different quarterbacks.
Week 13 at Los Angeles Rams
David Njoku has been pretty consistent over the past few weeks and consistently good at that. At least 50 yards in each of his last three games with 19 total catches on 33 targets. The Browns could be starting Joe Flacco this week and we've seen where Flacco is at this point of his career. Having a reliable target like Njoku should at least give Flacco a chance to move the football. Njoku has some upside against this week as the Rams have been pretty favorable against opposing tight ends this season.
Week 12 at Denver Broncos
David Njoku saw a whopping 15 targets last week against the Steelers. He has now seen 22 targets in two games with Dorian Thompson-Robinson as the starter. A nice connection has brewed already between the two and this week should provide another nice opportunity for the two to hook up. Denver is allowing the most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Njoku has some sleeper potential this week.
Week 11 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
With Dorian Thompson-Robinson now the starter following the loss of Deshaun Watson, David Njoku could be the safety blanket again for the rookie. In Week 4, DTR's lone start thus far, Njoku saw seven targets and caught six passes for 46 yards. Overall, Njoku has reached 50 yards in three of the last four games. Njoku has some intriguing streaming potential this week, even with a quarterback making only his second start.
Week 10 at Baltimore Ravens
Back to back weeks with a touchdown have David Njoku back in the mix as a starting tight end in fantasy, and he’s a nice streaming option if he’s available for you and you need to replace Travis Kelce or Dallas Goedert. Njoku has seen at least six targets in three straight games. Even if you don’t have those top tight ends, Njoku is still a nice option this week as the Browns may want to ride the hot hand in a key matchup with the Ravens.
Week 9 vs. Arizona Cardinals
Eight targets and a touchdown for David Njoku as he was a very nice safety valve for P.J. Walker last week against the Seahawks. Deshaun Watson is back which is good news for Njoku. He’s a borderline starting tight end this week.
Week 8 at Seattle Seahawks
With P.J. Walker in at quarterback, David Njoku became a nice target. He saw a season-high nine targets and caught five of those for 54 yards. Walker is starting again this week, so Njoku has some sleeper potential. Still, he’s a TE2 against a good Seattle defense and having to play in Seattle, which is always a tough place to play.
