Player Notes
Dec 10 5:33pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has been battling a knee injury, and he aggravated the ailment on his only catch, a 1-yard touchdown, in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. While the score was nice, Njoku is not 100 percent, and he is well behind rookie Harold Fannin Jr. for targets at the TE position. Njoku is only worth keeping on a roster in deeper formats.

Cleveland Browns OG Joel Bitonio (knee, back), OT Jack Conklin (concussion), S Grant Delpit (illness, groin), DT Mason Graham (rib), DT Adin Huntington (quadriceps), TE David Njoku (knee), RB Dylan Sampson (calf, hand), OG Wyatt Teller (calf), WR Cedric Tillman (concussion, rib) and CB Denzel Ward (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 10. TE Brenden Bates (ankle), CB Tyson Campbell (shoulder), WR Malachi Corley (concussion), S Rayshawn Jenkins (glute), LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle) and QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) were limited in practice.

From TheHuddle

Dec 10 11:10am CT

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.

Dec 10 12:53am CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) has been slowed by a knee injury, and he aggravated that injury in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans on a touchdown reception.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has fallen behind rookie Harold Fannin Jr. on the depth chart, and now he is dealing with a knee injury yet again. At this critical juncture of the fantasy season, Njoku just cannot be trusted. If you're kept him on the roster to this point, it's safe to drop him outside of deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 7 5:43pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku ended up with a 1-yard touchdown on his only touch and target in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans.

Fantasy Spin: While the score was nice, it paled in comparison to the huge day for rookie Harold Fannin Jr., who had eight grabs, 114 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Fannin has pushed Njoku to the backburner, making him useless in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 7 1:20pm CT

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.

From RotoBaller

Dec 7 1:13pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 14 game and is considered questionable to return.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku was productive before leaving the game, so fantasy players can see if he can return. He sees a few targets per game but is likely just a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 5 3:13pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has had a limited role in the Browns' offense since the arrival of Harold Fannin Jr. As a result, Njoku can be avoided in most leagues as he is not earning enough targets to be in your lineup.

From TheHuddle

Dec 5 3:13pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE Brenden Bates (ankle), OT Jack Conklin (concussion), DL Adin Huntington (quad), and G Wyatt Teller (calf) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled out. DL Mason Graham (ribs), DE Isaiah McGuire (knee), LB Devin Bush (foot), and RB Dylan Sampson (calf) did not practice on Friday and are listed as questionable. G Joel Bitonio (rest), CB Tyson Campbell (hip), S Rayshawn Jenkins (knee), TE David Njoku (knee), LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle), CB Denzel Ward (hip), and DE Alex Wright (quad) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

From TheHuddle

Dec 5 3:00pm CT

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.

Dec 4 5:23pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE Brenden Bates (ankle), LB Devin Bush (foot), OT Jack Conklin (concussion), DT Adin Huntington (quadriceps), RB Dylan Sampson (calf) and OG Wyatt Teller (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 4. CB Tyson Campbell (hip), DT Mason Graham (ribs), DT Michael Hall Jr. (knee), DE Isaiah McGuire (knee), TE David Njoku (knee), LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle), DE Alex Wright (quadriceps) and QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) were limited during practice. OG Joel Bitonio (non-injury), S Rayshawn Jenkins (knee) and CB Denzel Ward (hip) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Dec 4 5:03pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 4.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has been on the injury report for several weeks because of the injury but has been able to play. He has been targeted only six times in the last four games and seems to be behind Harold Fannin Jr. on the depth chart. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues this week.

From TheHuddle

Dec 3 5:23pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE Brenden Bates (ankle), LB Devin Bush (foot), OT Jack Conklin (concussion), DT Adin Huntington (quadriceps), DE Isaiah McGuire (knee), RB Dylan Sampson (calf) and OG Wyatt Teller (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 3. OG Joel Bitonio (rest), CB Tyson Campbell (hip), S Rayshawn Jenkins (knee), TE David Njoku (knee), LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle), DE Alex Wright (quadriceps), QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and CB Denzel Ward (hip) were listed as limited participants.

From TheHuddle

Dec 3 5:23pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has been operating behind rookie Harold Fannin Jr., and he has seen limited production. For fantasy purposes, you can do much better at this critical juncture of the season. Njoku is only worth trusting in deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Nov 30 4:43pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku caught two passes for four yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He was targeted two times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has become smaller part of the passing game as the season has gone on and has only 11 receiving yards in the last three games. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues unless Harold Fannin Jr. suffers an injury at some point.

From TheHuddle

Nov 28 8:50pm CT

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.

From RotoBaller

Nov 28 6:00pm CT

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.

From RotoBaller

Nov 28 4:53pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has not been a big part of the passing recently with only four targets in the last three games. He may see a handful of targets this week against the San Francisco 49ers but is unlikely to be a starter in most fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Nov 28 4:53pm CT

Cleveland Browns TE Brenden Bates (ankle), DT Adin Huntington (quadriceps) and DE Alex Wright (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and have been ruled out for Week 13. RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. OG Joel Bitonio (non-injury), LB Devin Bush (non-injury), CB Tyson Campbell (hip), DT Maliek Collins (non-injury), S Grant Delpit (non-injury), QB Dillon Gabriel (concussion), DE Myles Garrett (non-injury), S Ronnie Hickman (non-injury), TE David Njoku (knee), LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle), WR Jamari Thrash (foot) and CB Denzel Ward (head) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.
