News

  • Limited practice Monday

    Coach Freddie Kitchens relayed that Njoku (knee) didn't have a helmet at Monday's practice because of stitches on the back of his head, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Njoku was able to do individual drills Monday, with the report adding that the tight end's knee is feeling better. There's been nothing to suggest that Njoku's Week 1 status is in any danger, but his availability for Friday's preseason game against the Bucs has yet to be clarified.

  • Returns to individual work

    Njoku (knee) is going through individual drills Monday without a helmet, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: He may not be ready for full participation, but this at least shows that Njoku is making progress. He was held out of Saturday's preseason win over Indianapolis and could miss another exhibition Friday against Tampa Bay. The 23-year-old is locked in as a starter, with offseason acquisition Demetrius Harris expected to occupy the No. 2 spot at tight end.

  • Misses game with knee injury

    Njoku (knee) didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Njoku got the start in Cleveland's preseason opener, playing seven snaps without any targets. There hasn't been any indication that the knee injury holding him out of practice poses a threat to his Week 1 availability.

  • Absence blamed on knee issue

    Njoku was held out of Monday's practice with a knee injury, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: The injury doesn't appear serious at first glance, considering Njoku was able to work out on a side field with injured teammates. He started last week's preseason game against Washington, finishing without a target on seven snaps.

  • Spotted on rehab field

    Njoku (undisclosed) is working on a side field with the rehab group at Monday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: This is the first report of any injury for Cleveland's starting tight end. The team has been shorthanded at the position, with Demetrius Harris and Seth DeValve both recovering from concussions during the early portion of training camp, so a lengthy absence by Njoku could have the Browns scrounging through the free-agent pool for depth.

  • Captures QB's attention

    Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has high hopes for Njoku in 2019, Steve Doerschuk of The Canton Repository reports. "The sky is the limit for [Njoku]," said Mayfield. "He hasn't had a lot of coaching and hasn't been playing that long. You can see how athletic he is, how talented."

    Analysis: There's no shortage of target competition in Cleveland, but the wealth of talent should also create more touchdowns to go around compared to Njoku's first two seasons in the league. The 2017 first-round pick took a step forward in terms of efficiency after the team fired Hue Jackson and Todd Haley last season, catching 25 of 37 targets for 342 yards (9.2) and two touchdowns over the final eight games. Njoku had fewer yards (297) on more targets (51) in his first eight games, though part of the…read more

  • Ready to battle for targets

    Njoku acknowledged there will be more competition for targets with Odell Beckham joining the Browns, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "It's competition," Njoku said Wednesday. "Whoever's open gets the ball. We're a team, so we've got to see it as such. But at the at end of the day, we've got to compete."

    Analysis: Beckham and backup tight end Demetrius Harris will join a roster with five holdovers -- Njoku, Duke Johnson, Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins -- that caught 39 or more passes for the Browns last season. Add in running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (suspension) and it's impossible to find another team with comparable depth at the skill positions. It will be tough for Njoku to take a big step forward from last year's mark of 88 targets (5.5 per game), but the situation is at…read more

  • Seven targets in finale

    Njoku caught three of seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 26-24 finale loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Njoku finishes the 2018 season with 56 receptions for 639 yards to go along with four touchdowns. While those numbers are an improvement from his rookie season, the Miami Hurricane product dealt with inconsistency through much of the season and never was the red-zone threat many expected him to be. With that being said, he still possesses the talent to be a top-tier tight end in the league, and an entire offseason to work with Baker Mayfield should strengthen the duo's rapport.

  • Practices fully

    Njoku (knee) turned in a full practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The unrestricted practice clears the way for Njoku to play in Sunday's season finale against the Ravens. In the Browns' previous matchup with Baltimore in Week 5, Njoku drew double-digit targets for one of two times all season, parlaying his 10 looks into six receptions for 69 yards.

  • Starts another week limited

    Njoku (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Njoku has been playing through the same knee injury for weeks, typically upgrading to full participation Thursdays or Fridays. A Week 17 matchup in Baltimore won't be easy for Baker Mayfield and the Browns offense, but the Ravens haven't done a great job against tight ends, allowing 60 yards per game and 8.3 yards per target. By comparison, they've limited wide receivers to 6.4 YPT and running backs to 4.2.

  • Blows up against Bengals

    Njoku caught three of four targets, compiling 73 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-18 win against the Bengals.

    Analysis: The 6-foot-4 tight tight end exploded for a season-high 73 receiving yards against Cincinnati, also collecting his fourth touchdown of 2018 as the Browns picked up a third straight victory. (Two of his four scores this year have come against the Bengals.) He's been a boom-bust play yardage-wise over the latter half of the season, exceeding 30 receiving yards in five of his past eight appearances, but averaging 8.7 yards per game in the other three outings during that span. Njoku carries a…read more

  • Returns to full practice

    Njoku (knee/thigh) practiced fully Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Njoku is thus in line to play Sunday against the Bengals. The 2017 first-rounder has caught three passes in each of his last three outings, but his last notable fantasy outing came against Cincinnati in the game before that, when Njoku hauled in all five of his targets for 63 yards and a TD.

  • Limited to start week

    Njoku (knee/thigh) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: A fixture on the injury report this season, Njoku hasn't actually come close to missing a game. After landing between four and six targets each of the past four games, he draws a Week 16 matchup with a soft Bengals defense that has allowed tight ends to catch 73 of 97 passes for 839 yards (8.6 yards per target) and eight touchdowns. An upgrade to full practice participation Thursday and/or Friday would answer any questions about Njoku's status.

  • Five targets in win

    Njoku caught three passes (five targets) for 30 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Njoku's streak of disappointing games continued against the Broncos with yet another subpar performance. The tight end has produced 35 or fewer receiving yards in four of his last five contests, as his rapport with quarterback Baker Mayfield has been anything but reliable. He'll look to get back on track against a favorable matchup in the Bengals on Sunday.

  • Quiet once more

    Njoku caught three of four targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Njoku turned in another disappointing effort despite facing a Carolina defense that's been generous to tight ends this season. The second-year man out of Miami has faded when it matters most for fantasy owners, recording 35 yards or fewer in three of the past four games.

  • Cleared for Week 14

    Njoku (knee) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Since he was able to practice in limited fashion on back-to-back days to open the Browns' Week 14 preparations, Njoku never seemed in major jeopardy of missing game action. Njoku's fantasy value peaked when he earned double-digit targets in both Weeks 5 and 6, but he's earned no more than six looks in any of the Browns' subsequent six contests.

  • Logs limited practice

    Njoku (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Njoku, who caught three of six targets for eight yards in the Week 13 loss to the Texans, has been up and down over his last six outings. With the knee issue not viewed as much of a concern, Njoku's chances of a bouncing back this weekend are supported by the fact that Sunday's opponent, the Panthers, have had trouble limiting tight ends this season.

  • Production slowing

    Njoku was held to three catches for eight yards on six targets in Sunday's 29-13 loss to Houston.

    Analysis: Eight of Njoku's teammates finished with more receiving yards than him, as quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for a career-high 397 yards despite the tight end's struggles. After a streak of five consecutive games over 50 receiving yards, Njoku has now come up short of 20 yards twice in his past three appearances. Those recent struggles leave owners with some difficult decisions to make at the tight end position with the fantasy playoffs right around the corner, though Njoku will benefit from a…read more

  • Cleared to play Sunday

    Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing fully Friday.

    Analysis: Njoku has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late, but he is coming off a solid effort in the Week 12 win over the Bengals, during which he hauled in all five of his targets for 63 yards and a touchdown. The Texans are riding an eight-game winning streak, but working in Njoku's favor is that Houston has had a hard time stopping opposing tight ends over its last three outings.

  • Limited again Thursday

    Njoku (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The knee issue has resulted in Njoku carrying questionable designations into the Browns' past two games, but he's ultimately suited up on both occasions, reeling in all six of his targets over that span for 81 yards and a touchdown. The back-to-back limited practices to begin Week 13 suggest Njoku's knee is still an issue on some level, but he would likely be held out entirely if there was truly any concern about his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Texans. That said, Njoku may need…read more

    Njoku (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The knee issue has resulted in Njoku being listed as questionable ahead of the Browns' past two games, but he's suited up on both occasions while playing normal snap counts. In the Browns' Week 12 triumph over the Bengals, Njoku bounced back from a three-game scoring drought with five receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown on five targets. The fact that he's beginning the Browns' Week 13 preparations on the field in any capacity suggests the injury won't put his status in much jeopardy for…read more

  • Finds end zone in win

    Njoku (knee) caught all five of his targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-20 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Njoku scored from six yards out on a wild play, as he attempted to hurdle a defender, got stuffed, but somehow managed to stay on his feet before getting pushed into the end zone. Cleveland's passing game powered down after the team took a 28-0 lead, so Njoku finished as the Browns' leading receiver, nudging out Antonio Callaway by one yard. The athletic tight end looks to be over the injury issues that had been slowing him down recently, so Njoku's stock is trending up ahead of a Week 13…read more

  • Listed as active Sunday

    Njoku (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Njoku has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late, but he's a bounce-back candidate in Week 12 versus a Cincinnati defense that overall hasn't had great success containing tight ends.

    Njoku (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Njoku, who practiced in a limited fashion to start the week, graduated to a full practice Friday, suggesting that he's trending in the right direction. That said, given that Njoku is one of just two Cleveland players on the team's Week 12 injury report, the tight end's status is worth tracking in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. Assuming he's plays this weekend, Njoku profiles as a bounce-back candidate while taking aim at a Cincinnati defense that tight ends have found a decent level of…read more

    Njoku (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Following the Browns' bye week, Njoku is no longer nursing a rib injury, but he continues to manage a knee issue that hasn't caused him to miss any games. Njoku has cooled off of late, but he's a bounce-back candidate in Week 12 versus a Cincinnati defense that tight ends have found a degree of success against this season.

  • Limited to one catch

    Njoku (knee/ribs) caught his lone target for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: While the tight end was clearly limited by his injuries, his team still managed to pull out a surprising win, much to the delight of the home crowd. Njoku will get a much-needed opportunity to heal with Cleveland on bye in Week 11.

  • Set to play Week 10

    Njoku (knee/ribs) is active Sunday against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Njoku was a limited participant in practice all week due to multiple injuries, but the expectation was that he'd suit up. The Cleveland inactive list will confirm that, lining up Njoku to take on an Atlanta defense that has given up just three touchdowns to opposing tight ends on the year.

  • On track to play Sunday

    Njoku (knee/ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons but is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The two injuries limited Njoku's participation in practice throughout the week, but he should be good to go versus Atlanta if he makes it through pregame warmups without incident. Confirmation on Njoku's status should come Sunday around 11:30 a.m. EST, when the Browns are expected to release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before kickoff.

  • Listed as questionable this week

    Njoku (knee/ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons after practicing in a limited fashion all week.

    Analysis: That Njoku practiced all week -- albeit in a limited capacity -- bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday. That said, those inclined to use him in Week 10 fantasy lineups will want to verify his status as the Browns' 1:00 PM ET kickoff approaches. If active, Njoku would be in line to remain a key cog in the Browns' Week 10 passing attack, after hauling in four of his five targets for 53 yards in the team's 37-21 loss to the Chiefs in Week 9.

  • Remains limited at practice

    Njoku (knee/ribs) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: We'll have to see if the Browns list Njoku as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, or if he approaches that game without an injury designation. If he is able to suit up, the tight end should remain a key cog in the Cleveland offense in Week 10, on the heels of catching four of his five targets for 53 yards in last weekend's 37-21 loss to the Chiefs.

    Njoku (knee/ribs) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: This marks the third straight week Njoku has been limited on a Wednesday, but he's yet to miss a game or see his snaps reduced. Any form of participation Thursday would keep him on track to play in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

  • Four catches Sunday

    Njoku secured four of five targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Njoku was able to bounce back against the Chiefs after a Week 8 performance that ended with zero receptions, though he finished tied for fourth on the team in targets. The second-year tight end has 35 catches for 350 yards and two touchdowns on the season, but has yet to eclipse 70 yards in a single game, and if Duke Johnson -- who led the team in targets, catches and yards -- continues to be Baker Mayfield's favorite pass catcher in Cleveland's new offense, Njoku's value could ultimately…read more

  • Avoids designation for Week 9

    Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Njoku followed limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday with a full one Friday, which allowed him to avoid a questionable tag heading into the weekend. The tight end draws a favorable matchup against a weak Chiefs secondary, which should aid his chances of bouncing back from an out-of-nowhere zero-target outing against Pittsburgh in Week 8.
