Draft note

by John Paulsen

David Njoku finished the season as the TE5 in half-PPR scoring, setting career-highs in receptions (81), yards (882), and touchdowns (6). He is the TE9 off the board in early drafts, but I think he can be lumped in a tier that includes Jake Ferguson, Dallas Goedert, Brock Bowers, Cole Kmet, and perhaps Taysom Hill and Dalton Schultz as well. Njoku simply has not produced consistently with Deshaun Watson. In the 11 games that they’ve played together over the past two seasons, Njoku has averaged just 3.8-36-0.27 on 5.7 targets per game while posting 5.1-59-0.37 on 7.4 targets per game in the 19 games played with literally anyone else at quarterback. Unless those splits are an aberration, Njoku is unlikely to live up to his TE9 ADP.

Browns TE David Njoku "unlikely" to play Week 3

Kevin Stefanski is hopeful that Denzel Ward (shoulder) can play more than 11 snaps vs. Giants, TE David Njoku 'unlikely' to play.

Related Players: Jordan Akins

Fantasy Impact:

Akins has been seeing a bigger workload this year but not enough for our purposes. Over 49 routes run he has accrued only 37 yards. He can safely be kept on waiver wires.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Dallas Cowboys
David Njoku is a terror with the ball in his hands, but his splits with and without Watson are simply too large to ignore. Eleven games is no small sample size in football, so it's difficult to write it off as meaningless. Granted, the quarterback has been awful in his time in Cleveland, so maybe a resurgent season will naturally lift those numbers up. The Browns added next to nothing to their pass-catching corps outside Jerry Jeudy, who has had his own struggles with reeling in the ball. Njoku should be the No. 2 option through the air this year, which gives him a floor as a locked-in TE1 here in Week 1.
