Cleveland Browns impending free-agent TE David Njoku has indicated that he does not plan to re-sign with the Browns this offseason.
Huddle Up: Njoku fell behind Harold Fannin Jr. on the depth chart this season and will likely look for a starting job in free agency. He has played well in the past and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some leagues depending on his situation.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku told reporters following the team's Week 18 win against the Cincinnati Bengals that he would like to remain with the team even as he is set to become a free agent this offseason.
Huddle Up: Njoku is one of the longest-tenured players on the team, so kudos to him for wanting to stay where it all started for him and help the team become a winner. Logically, however, it doesn't make a lot of sense for him to do so. First and foremost, Harold Fannin Jr. took over as the team's primary weapon in the passing game around midseason. Perhaps just as importantly, there are at least 10 teams where he would serve as a huge upgrade, so he should have a nice market. Last but not least, Cleveland's late-season surge means it will be selecting at No. 6 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, which might be too low to grab a blue-chip quarterback in what is shaping up to be a weak draft overall.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (personal, knee) will not play in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: Njoku is set to be a free agent this upcoming offseason and may look to sign elsewhere after the emergence of Harold Fanin Jr. Njoku has some promise as a starting tight end in deeper leagues, but could return to TE1 prominence in the right spot.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: With Njoku being ruled out and Harold Fanin Jr., it will affect Shedeur Sanders more than anything for Week 17. Njoku was not a fantasy option for most, but if he was, then you would need a backup plan.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 25. The Browns did not hold a practice Thursday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Njoku seems unlikely to play in Week 17, but fantasy players will know more after the last practice of the week. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues even if he is cleared to play.
