Browns TE David Njoku missed practice today with his ankle injury. He missed 3 games with it earlier this season.

It would be a huge bummer if Njoku were forced to miss time after putting up great back-to-back performances sans Watson at quarterback. Jordan Akins would be interesting for deep leagues in this scenario, though he only crested 9.0 half-PPR points in one game during Njoku's absence.

Browns rule out Grant Delpit, Ethan Pocic, Nick Chubb, Ronnie Hickman, Nyheim Hines, James Hudson III.

Denzel Ward, Maurice Hurst II, Jordan Hicks, Mohamoud Diabate listed as questionable.

David Njoku will play Sunday vs. Eagles.

Hopefully Njoku can add a little boost to this floundering offense, and should slide right back into low-end TE1 range for fantasy.

As for the running back room, Ford likely holds onto the RB1 role for one more week, but the team has made it clear that they'd like to rotate him. This makes him a questionable call as your team's RB2, but at the very least, he provides a floor.

Akins performed well enough during Njoku's absence but not enough to get him on to fantasy radars. If Njoku plays in Week 5, he should re-take his spot in the lower-end TE1 range.

Browns TE David Njoku won’t practice today and is OUT for Sunday, per HC Kevin Stefanski.

Browns have been hit hard with injuries, and will be missing two offensive tackles in this game, as well. Akins has seen usage but the Cleveland passing attack is too anemic to consider him in any but very, very deep leagues.

Browns are listing TE David Njoku as out for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants due to his ankle injury.

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.

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

Bad look for the Browns offense, that can't use anymore distractions right now. Akins shouldn't be in streaming consideration unless you're in a very deep league.

Browns injury updates: DL Mo Hurst (ankle), TE David Njoku (ankle), LB Tony Fields (ankle), LB Mohamoud Diabate (hip) are “week to week,” per HC Kevin Stefanski.

Njoku suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 against the Cowboys. Owners probably shouldn't count on Njoku for Week 2 given the "week-to-week" tag. Plus, high ankle sprains usually cost players time. We'll hopefully know more about the injury as the week goes on.

Without Will Fuller, who had a career-high 58 catches for 879 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games this season, the only receivers on the active roster with receptions this season are Brandin Cooks (52) and Keke Coutee (6). Randall Cobb is on injured reserve and is out for at least two more games with a toe injury. The Texans released Kenny Stills on Friday, a day after Fuller had a career day with six catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns on Thanksgiving.

The story went on to say: the suspension could force rookie Coulter onto the field for the first time after he was drafted in the fifth round out of Rhode Island. The Texans also will use running back Duke Johnson a lot more in the passing game and throw more often to tight ends Akins, Fells and Brown. The Texans also have some receiver options on the practice squad, including former Texas A&M wideout Ratley. Some things to note is the potential rise of Coutee who now finds himself as a possible WR2. Also, it looks like Duke Johnson will have a role even when David Johnson returns.
