Scouting report

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Miami Dolphins

David Njoku has had a couple of weeks to recover from his ankle injury and should be good to go for this week against the Dolphins, a team giving up the third-most fantasy points to tight ends. Jacoby Brissett has his buddy back. Njoku is a top-ten option this week in a good matchup.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Baltimore Ravens

David Njoku is riding a streak of four straight games with at least 50 yards, so he's on a good pace and has become a trusted receiver for Jacoby Brissett. He essentially works as the second option in the passing game. The Ravens have been an average pass defense so far, and an easier matchup than the Patriots, so the pass game should stay on track this week. Njoku makes for a fine option after the big names at the top.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. New England Patriots

It looks like David Njoku and Jacoby Brissett have really built their connection up. Over the last three weeks, Njoku has caught 20 passes and has at least 73 yards each game in that span with a touchdown. Brissett doesn't have too many other options on the outside, so he'll continue to look Njoku's way, especially against a Patriots team that is giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season (though they did hold T.J, Hockenson to just one catch for six yards after he posted 8-179-2 against the Vikings).

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

The Falcons were able to shutdown Amari Cooper, but they couldn't do the same to David Njoku, who caught five passes for 73 yards. He's averaging around 80 yards over the past two weeks as Jacoby Brissett is starting to build rapport with Njoku. Njoku has worked his way into TE1 territory and checks in as our No. 12 TE, even in a tough matchup against the Chargers (3rd-toughest matchup for tight ends this week).

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Atlanta Falcons

Week 3 was a career day for David Njoku, catching nine passes for the first time in his career for 89 yards and a touchdown. Jacoby Brissett seems to be getting more comfortable in the Browns offense and Njoku looks to be the No. 2 option in the passing game. This is also a good week for Njoku because the Falcons are the second-easiest matchup so far against opposing tight ends, so another strong day for the Browns tight end could be on the horizon. He's a low-end TE1 this week.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

It may still be early to tell, but David Njoku may not be the only tight end involved in Cleveland. Njoku saw five targets against the Jets, but Harrison Bryant had four of his own. Njoku has seen a lot more playing time thus far, however. Njoku has played 134/147 snaps compared to 69/147 for Bryant. All that said, neither tight end has shown much and are almost starting to cancel each other out a bit, making Njoku a risky play against a good Steelers pass defense on Thursday. Njoku is a low TE2 for the week.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. New York Jets

Early on, maybe we see why the Browns only franchise-tagged David Njoku and took a while to actually give him a long-term deal. Maybe not, but Jacoby Brissett at quarterback will continue to limit the upside of the entire passing offense, including Njoku, who saw just one target last week against the Panthers. That should increase against the Jets, but we're still going to consider Njoku a TE2 this week.
