Week 14 vs. Green Bay Packers
David Njoku had a solid outing last week, finishing with 4 receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown. Njoku is starting to get more involved in the offense, although he's played less than 60 percent of the offensive snaps in every game. He's had a better rookie season than most tight ends, but he still gets limited playing time and touches.
He's a talented player, but a risky fantasy option. He's not much more than a TE2 this week against the Packers.
Week 13 at Los Angeles Chargers
David Njoku is starting to get more involved in the offense, but his 4 receptions for 47 yards last week isn't exciting many people. The Browns continue to get Njoku and Seth DeValve involved, canceling each other out for fantasy purposes. Njoku is a very low-end TE2 this week in a difficult matchup against the Chargers.
Week 12 at Cincinnati Bengals
David Njoku has made some plays this season, but has been mostly ineffective. He's not a reliable option in fantasy.
Week 11 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
David Njoku is getting more involved in the offense as he played a season-high 46 offensive snaps (56.8%) last week. He was also targeted a healthy 6 times, but he only came away with 1 reception for 3 yards.
Njoku is a talented player, and it's encouraging he's playing more snaps, but until he puts up consistent production he's a risky option in fantasy. He's not worth looking at this week against Jacksonville.
Week 10 at Detroit Lions
David Njoku has caught 2 passes in six of his eight games this season and has 3 receptions in each of the other two. In other words, he's not a very big factor in the Browns' passing game. He does have 3 scores this season, but it's impossible to predict when he'll score. He and fellow Browns tight end Seth DeValve together have had a good season, but individually they're hard to trust as a reliable option.
Week 8 vs. Vikings (game in London)
David Njoku had a healthy 5 targets last week, but only caught 2 passes. He finished with 58 yards, highlighted by a 31-yard grab. Njoku is a talented player, but in this offense, he's unreliable as a fantasy option. On top of that, he gets a tough matchup this week. He's a risky play at best.
Week 7 vs. Tennessee Titans
David Njoku finished with a healthy 5 targets last week, but he finished with 0 yards on 2 catches. He has 3 touchdowns on the season, but he's averaging less than 20 yards per game. He's simply not reliable enough to be taken seriously in fantasy.
Week 6 at Houston Texans
David Njoku is slowly starting to come along as he had his best game of the season last week. He finished with 3 receptions for 48 yards, but most importantly, he found the end zone again. He's now scored in three of his last four games and is emerging as a solid red zone threat.
The problem with Njoku is he hasn't had much production outside of scoring touchdowns. Sure he scores often, but if he doesn't, then he could end up hurting your team. In a not-so-favorable matchup this week, Njoku is nothing more than a TE2 play.
Week 5 vs. New York Jets
David Njoku has 2 touchdowns this season but hasn't done a whole lot outside of that. Fellow tight end Seth DeValve is second on the team in receiving yards, so the two of them together make a decent combo. The problem is, neither one has been reliable this season and therefore are not worth consideration in fantasy.
Week 4 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
David Njoku hasn't done a lot in terms of receptions and yards this season, but he does have a touchdown reception in each of the last two games. The first-round rookie tight end is talented and could continue to be a red zone threat, but it's hard to trust him to score every week. Without the touchdowns, Njoku doesn't offer much.
He's been splitting time with fellow tight end Seth DeValve and the two of them together would have nice stats. But individually, neither carries much value.
