Latest news

Browns TE David Njoku notches a career game on TNF

The nine catches David Njoku snagged were the most for a Browns tight end since Jordan Cameron in December of 2013.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Kevin Stefanski would praise Njoku's involvement in the run game, but his proficiency as a receiver is more likely what caused Clevland to sign the tight end to a four-year contract extension worth a maximum of $56.75 million with $28 million guaranteed. His annual average of $13.68 million made him the fifth highest-paid tight end in the league. In an arid tight end landscape, it would be wonderful to have Njoku as a fringe fantasy option for the rest of the season.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson suspension increased to 11 games

The suspension also includes a $5 million donation to charity. DeShaun Watson is scheduled to return to action in Week 13 against the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Watson remains borderline-undraftable in all but the deepest redraft leagues, and the entire skill position group should receive a downgrade with Jacoby Brissett in as quarterback. It's very possible that the team leans more run-heavy, which would benefit Nick Chubb, but if the offense as a whole is less efficient, that would presumably level out over the course of three-quarters of the season.

The Cleveland Browns and TE David Njoku have agreed to a 4-year extension.

Related Player: Harrison Bryant

Fantasy Impact:

The new contract makes Njoku the fifth-highest paid tight end in the NFL. Not bad work if you can get it. This deal also signals that Njoku is the TE1 in Cleveland and will leaned on as the team adjusts with an essentially new passing group. Cleveland's confidence in Njoku gives his re-draft and dynasty stocks a boost.

Browns releasing Austin Hooper

The Cleveland Browns are releasing TE Austin Hooper as a post-June-1 designation.

Related Players: David Njoku, Harrison Bryant

Fantasy Impact:

The writing was on the wall once Njoku was franchise tagged. Hooper earned his deal after a monster year with the Falcons and will now be looking to join a team that needs a tight end.
