David Njoku Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old aggravated an existing knee injury during Cleveland's Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he will now be sidelined for at least one game as a result. Without Njoku, Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end. With Njoku banged up in Week 14, Fannin Jr. hauled in eight receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. In Njoku's lone missed game this season, Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins, Fannin Jr. earned a 27.8% target share. Depending on how long Njoku is sidelined by his current injury, Fannin Jr. could have league-winning upside.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday due to a knee injury, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Njoku was also on last week's injury report with a knee injury, but he was active in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 29-year-old aggravated his knee injury on a touchdown grab versus the Titans, and now he's on the wrong side of questionable to play in Week 15 against the hosting Chicago Bears. He will need to return to practice on Friday to have a chance of playing this weekend. Njoku has taken a back seat to impressive rookie TE Harold Fannin Jr. this year, making him a weekly TE2 streaming option in fantasy. He has caught 33 passes on 48 targets for 293 yards and four touchdowns through 14 weeks. Fannin will be an even more attractive TE1 if Njoku is ruled out against Chicago.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Njoku caught a touchdown pass in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, but he suffered a knee injury on the play and is now questionable to suit up for a Week 15 contest against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. The 29-year-old does have two more days to return to practice, but as of now, fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting to have him available this weekend. Rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr., who leads the Browns in all receiving categories this year, would be in line for even more targets in Cleveland's passing attack if Njoku is unable to get clearance to play against Chicago. Even if Njoku returns to practice later this week, Fannin should be on the TE1 map in fantasy football.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old was injured while hauling in a one-yard touchdown catch. That touchdown was his lone reception of the game before getting injured. If Njoku is unable to return, rookie Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. could be in line for an uptick in both playing time and target share for the remainder of Week 14. Entering the week, Njoku had recorded 32 catches for 292 yards and three touchdowns across 11 games this season. His absence could also lead to a few more targets for Browns wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has been cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Njoku was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday but will play in Week 14 despite managing a knee injury. The 29-year-old tight end hasn't had much production in recent weeks, recording just five receptions (six targets) for 32 yards and one touchdown over the past four games. The veteran has played behind impressive rookie Harold Fannin Jr. and isn't a trustworthy fantasy option with his current role in the Browns' low-scoring offense. Fantasy managers are better off looking elsewhere for a potential streaming option in Week 14.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) practiced fully on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday and is listed without an injury designation heading into Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Njoku will look to erase memories of Week 12, which saw him go without a target while playing on 49% of the team's offensive snaps. The veteran tight end has now drawn just four total targets across his past three games as the Browns continue to look away from him when they drop back to pass. The 49ers are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends this season but Njoku can't be trusted in fantasy given his current role in the Browns' offense.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Njoku was limited during the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session on Friday. The full practice session was enough for Njoku to avoid an injury designation this weekend. At the moment, Njoku is looking like a touchdown-dependent option. Fellow tight end Harold Fannin Jr. continues to split up the reps with Njoku. The rookie tight end has been having good success and appears to be pulling away with the starting spot.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) got in a full practice on Friday and is listed without a final injury designation after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. The veteran tight end will look to break a quiet stretch in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Njoku has caught just three passes for 28 yards and a touchdown over his past two games as the Browns continue to lean on rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. at Njoku's expense in the passing attack. To make matters worse for Njoku, the Raiders have been tough on tight ends this season, allowing just the 28th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Njoku sets up as a low-end TE2 heading into Week 12.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Njoku missed back-to-back practices before returning to the field on Friday. It appears his participation on Friday was enough to clear him for this game. His fantasy value is limited considering he continues splitting up the reps with Harold Fannin Jr. at the moment. Njoku has three receptions for 28 yards over his last two games. The veteran tight end is a risky start with Shedeur Sanders making his first career start under center.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) returned to practice on Friday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. It's unclear what Njoku's participation level was, but it at least gives him a chance to play in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders after he missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. The 29-year-old could very well be listed as questionable on the final injury report, though, and his status remains up in the air for the weekend. Njoku has already seen a drop in fantasy value this season with rookie Harold Fannin Jr. stealing lots of valuable targets from him, so he's even harder to trust going into Sunday's game, given his uncertain status. Through 11 weeks in the 2025 season, Njoku has 30 receptions for 288 yards and three touchdowns on his 45 targets. All of Cleveland's pass-catchers will be a bit more volatile in Week 12 with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders making his first career start.
