CLE TE David Njoku - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Seattle Seahawks

With P.J. Walker in at quarterback, David Njoku became a nice target. He saw a season-high nine targets and caught five of those for 54 yards. Walker is starting again this week, so Njoku has some sleeper potential. Still, he’s a TE2 against a good Seattle defense and having to play in Seattle, which is always a tough place to play.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Indianapolis Colts

With or without Deshaun Watson, David Njoku hasn’t been putting up huge numbers this season. He still has yet to hit 50 yards in a game. Maybe Watson returning will help, but at this rate, Njoku is stuck as a TE2. He can be considered as a streaming and daily option this week with six teams on a bye, but even at that, it’s a gamble.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson found a nice safety net in David Njoku in Week 4. Now it’s P.J. Walker under center this week with Deshaun Watson out again with a shoulder injury. The downside is that Njoku gets to see Fred Warner and one of the best linebacker rooms in the NFL. Njoku is a low-end TE2 this week.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Baltimore Ravens

It’s been a bit of a disappointing start for David Njoku. Last week, he had just 20 yards on four catches. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is starting to build a connection with Elijah Moore, which may push Njoku down a little bit. He’s fallen down the board a bit as well in fantasy, no longer a sure fire TE1 option. But for those that start more than one tight end, he can be okay this week.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Tennessee Titans

The Browns use David Njoku quite a bit in the passing game in terms of allowing him to run routes (he has run a route on 75% of Cleveland's dropbacks). But he has seen just seven targets in two games. Tennessee presents a favorable matchup this week as Cleveland could throw the ball a bit more after losing Nick Chubb. That's enough to at least put Njoku on the border of being a TE1 given the depth of the position and his usage in the offense.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Cleveland focused on the run last week against the Bengals, leading to just three targets for David Njoku. The passing game should open up more, starting this week against the Steelers, though Cleveland should be salivating to run the football after seeing what the 49ers did in Week 1. But when the passing game does grow, Njoku should be there as one of the beneficiaries. Consider him a high-end TE2 heading into Week 2.

CLE TE David Njoku - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

One of the quiet yet underrated tight ends in the league has been David Njoku, who had 628 yards and four touchdowns despite missing three games last season. The Browns want to expand their offense and let Deshaun Watson sling the ball more and that should include Njoku over the middle. Watson hit Njoku seven times for 59 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 last season against the Bengals. Expect Watson to keep looking Njoku's way, making him a nice option if you don't have one of the top guys or if you had to get Travis Kelce out of your lineup this week.
