Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku had two receptions for 18 yards on three targets in Week 2 against the Houston Texans.
Huddle Up: Njoku is battling Harrison Bryant and Austin Hooper for targets among the tight ends in Cleveland. While Jarvis Landry exited with injury, and Odell Beckham Jr. remains out for the wideouts, there could be more targets coming for the trio of TEs. Still, it's not an optimal fantasy situation heading into Week 3.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku registered three receptions for a team-high 76 yards on five targets in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Njoku has plenty of company in the tight end room with Austin Hooper and Harrison Bryant, so his fantasy ceiling is a bit limited. Despite the solid day, he isn't much more than a low-end TE2 in deeper fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku is playing out the final season of his rookie contract in 2021 and said Friday, Aug. 20, he has instructed his agent to try to negotiate an extension with the team.
Huddle Up: Njoku, a top-10 fantasy tight end in his second season in 2018, was injured and played only four games the following season and finished third on the team in tight end targets in 13 games last season. He remains off the fantasy radar in the majority of leagues.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku is a candidate to be released or traded this offseason as heads into the non-guaranteed fifth option year of his rookie contract, and Saturday, Feb. 27, he tweeted what sounds like a goodbye to Browns fans. 'Whatever happens I appreciate all the love from all my loyal fans,' Njoku wrote. 'I've kept quiet for a while but I wanted to express that at least for now. I love u guys.'
Huddle Up: Njoku caught only 19 passes for 213 yards in 13 regular-season games a year after missing all but four games with a wrist injury in 2019, and it sure seems like he will be playing elsewhere with the salary cap dipping and the Browns set elsewhere at tight end.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku has declined to say if wants to be back with the team next season. 'I just found myself in a position where I'm upset with the playing time, but this team that I'm on is winning and I don't want to ruin it for anybody else around me,' Njoku said Friday, Feb. 4, in an interview on the Jim Rome Show. 'I don't want to ruin it for myself.'
Huddle Up: With newly acquired tight ends Austin Hooper and Harrison Bryant combining for 70 receptions and 673 yards and that seven TDs, Njoku only had 19 catches for 213 yards and a pair of scores in 13 games and essentially was a forgotten man in the Cleveland offense. Njoku is heading into the option year on his rookie deal, but it's not guaranteed until the first day of the new league year on March 17, so there's a definite chance he could be playing elsewhere next season.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is expected to play in the AFC Divisional Round game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Njoku had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging just one limited practice session during the week. He should not be viewed as a recommended fantasy option this week because Austin Hooper is serving as the Browns' primary tight end.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Jan. 14, but is making progress, head coach Kevin Stefanski said.
Huddle Up: Njoku caught his only target for seven yards Sunday in the Browns' wild-card win over the Steelers, but only played 21 offensive snaps (31 percent). It sounds like Njoku has a chance to ramp things up in time to play this Sunday in Kansas City, but Austin Hooper (7 catches for 46 yards and a TD) is the Cleveland tight end to be trusted.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is officially active for the Week 15 game.
Huddle Up: Njoku has been targeted only six times over the last three weeks and should not be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (neck) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
Huddle Up: Njoku probably will be a game-time decision since he was placed on the injury report Friday. He has posted at least 50 yards in only one game this season and can be avoided even if he is active for the game.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku finished with two receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: The disgruntled Njoku was able to return to the end zone for the first time since Week 1, getting a chance with Harrison Bryant to fill the void left by Austin Hooper, who had an appendectomy. Despite the score, he is only worth a look in the very deepest of fantasy leagues at this point.
