Scouting report

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Carolina Panthers

David Njoku finished with eight yards on three catches, which is somewhat impressive, although not great for fantasy. Njoku has at least 50 yards in six of his last nine games, but in those three games, he has a combined 26 yards. There's not much middle ground for performance when it comes to Njoku this season.

On the plus side, he has a favorable matchup against the Panthers this week. Carolina is giving up the third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, including allowing a league-high nine touchdowns to the position. There aren't too many better options this week at TE as Njoku can be viewed as a mid-tier TE1 choice.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

David Njoku at Houston Texans

David Njoku led the Browns in receiving last week, finishing with 63 yards and a score on five receptions. Njoku had a 0-catch game and a 1-catch game in his last four outings, but overall he's been a reliable option at the tight end position in 2018.

He gets an oddly favorable matchup this week against the Texans. Houston has been tough on QBs this season, but has allowed 127 yards, 71 yards and 142 yards to tight ends in the last three games, respectively. The Texans have also given up a score to the position in each of those three games as well. Njoku can be viewed as a lower-end TE1 choice.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Cincinnati Bengals

David Njoku caught just one pass for 18 yards in the Browns' last outing. He's now had one catch and no catches in two of his last three games, and he's listed as questionable for Sunday vs. the Bengals.

There was a stretch during the season where Njoku was a strong TE1 option every week, but now he's at the lower end of TE1 territory.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Atlanta Falcons

David Njoku had a weird goose egg game in Week 8, but bounced back with a nice 4-53 last week. He's had at least 50 yards in five of his last six games, scoring twice in that span. He hasn't been spectacular, but he's been a serviceable TE1 most weeks.

He gets a decent game this week against the Falcons. Atlanta has allowed at least 50 yards in half of its games this season, so there's opportunity for Njoku to produce. He can be viewed as a low-end TE1 in Week 10.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

David Njoku played 84 percent of the offensive snaps last week but finished with a big fat goose egg. He didn't even get a target. It was weird considering Njoku had four straight games of 50+ yards, so we'll just write it off as an unfortunate game.

He should bounce back this week against the Chiefs, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to TEs. Kansas City has given up the second-most yards to the position as well, so there's opportunity for a big game from Njoku. He can be viewed as a TE1.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Pittsburgh Steelers

For the second game in a row, David Njoku scored a touchdown. He also now has at least four receptions and 50 yards in four straight games. Njoku has been much more productive with Baker Mayfield than he was with Tyrod Taylor at the start of the season.

On that same note, Njoku had 13 yards in the Week 1 matchup vs. the Steelers. But with Mayfield in, perhaps Njoku can continue his 50+ streak. Pittsburgh has allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing TEs. And the Steelers have allowed 50+ yards in every game except that Week 1 matchup. Njoku can be viewed as a TE1 play.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

David Njoku has had his three best games of the season in a row. Last week he saw a season-high in targets (12) and receptions (7) while also scoring his first touchdown of the year. He's had back-to-back games with at least 10 targets, making him a very valuable tight end in fantasy.

Making things better, he gets a great matchup this week against the Bucs. Tampa Bay has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, giving up the second-most yards to the position. TEs have also scored in three straight games vs. Tampa Bay. We like Njoku as a solid TE1 play this week.
