David Njoku - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting out again Thursday Njoku (knee) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Njoku will miss a second consecutive practice to begin Week 12 preparations, putting him on the wrong trajectory for Sunday's road matchup against the Raiders, which will be rookie Shadeur Sander's first start under center. Unless Njoku is able to significantly upgrade his activity level at Friday's practice, it looks like he'll be sidelined Sunday, paving the way for Harold Fannin to see an uptick in opportunities as Cleveland's top tight end.

Not practicing Wednesday Njoku (knee) is not expected to practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Njoku previously dealt with a knee injury in October, which forced him to sit out Week 7 versus Miami, but it remains to be seen whether his current issue is related. If Njoku isn't able to suit up Sunday versus the Raiders, added reps will be available for rookie tight end Harold Fannin in what is expected to be the first start for quarterback Shadeur Sanders.

Can Shedeur Sanders rise to the occasion? Browns rookie QB to get valuable practice reps this week

Just one catch Sunday Njoku brought in one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Njoku took a back seat to rookie tight end Harold Fannin -- as has been the case on numerous occasions this season -- resulting in the veteran's lowest reception total this season while tying his previous low in targets. The 31-year-old Njoku failed to extend his scoring streak to three games, highlighting how touchdown-dependent of an asset he has become following Fannin's emergence. Managers relying on Njoku will hope he gets back to his scoring ways against the Raiders next Sunday.

Finds paydirt in Week 10 loss Njoku caught both of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.

Impact Njoku's nine-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter was his third touchdown in Njoku's last four games. He remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option due to the emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring), who had four catches for 44 yards Sunday. Up next for Njoku and the Browns is a Week 11 home game against the Ravens.

Top TE duo available for Browns Njoku's fellow tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Fannin missed practice Thursday but returned to a limited session Friday before being deemed 'questionable' for Sunday's contest. With his availablity confirmed, the Browns will have their top two tight ends available versus New York, a time-share that has kept both players on the fantasy radar. In eight games, Fannin leads his team in catches (38) and receiving yards (352) on 51 targets, to go along with two touchdowns, while Njoku has recorded 27 catches for 260 yards (second on the Browns in both categories) on 41 targets, with a pair of TDs in seven contests.

Could benefit from injury Njoku could benefit from an injury to tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring), who was added to Cleveland's injury report Thursday.

Impact Following a healthy session Wednesday, Fannin sat out Thursday's practice, which is something to monitor in the days leading up to Sunday's game against the Jets. Njoku and Fannin have been the leading targets for rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, whose 4.9 yards per attempt is among the lowest in the league. In three games with Gabriel under center, Njoku has averaged seven targets per game, recorded six of his seven red-zone targets, and scored both of his touchdowns. While the Browns might tilt toward its running game against New York's suspect rush defense, which became weaker following the trade deadline, the theme coming out of practice this week has been about using the ground game to enhance the passing attack. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was named the team's new play caller earlier this week, was the tight ends coach in 2024, which could factor into his approach.
