Browns TE David Njoku officially IN for Week 6, RB Nick Chubb remains sidelined

Oct 11, 2024

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Vikings trade for RB Cam Akers

Trade! The Texans are sending RB Cam Akers to the Vikings, sources say.

Fantasy Impact:

Houston gets a 2026 conditional sixth-round pick in exchange for Akers and a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick. Of course, it’s a reunion for Akers and Minnesota, which also traded for him last season, the story pointed out. The worry now is maybe Jones, who was injured (hip) before the Vikings bye week, isn't fully healthy just yet, despite being able to practice so far this week. However, the Vikings, who sit at 5-0 so far this season, may just want more RB depth behind Jones and Chandler. As for the Texans, Mixon and Pierce look to be healthy again, and with the emergence of Ogunbowale over the last couple of weeks, Akers became expendable.
