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 tight end David Njoku played on Sunday despite suffering burns on his face and arm in a household accident.

Fantasy Impact:

On a mostly ugly day for the Browns’ offense, Njoku led the team with six catches for 46 yards. And he demonstrated his toughness to his coaches and teammates, who undoubtedly were impressed that he was playing through pain for his team, the story went on to say. The Browns have a bye in Week 5.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.
