News: 1 day agoNjoku caught all four of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans.

Spin: Njoku once again paced Cleveland's tight ends and was targeted four times for a second straight week. He's yet to have a breakout game with just 92 receiving yards, one reception of more than 20 yards, and zero touchdowns through three games. Quarterback Deshaun Watson had his best day in a Browns' uniform Sunday, but he directed more than half of his throws to wideouts Elijah Moore (nine targets) and Amari Cooper (eight).

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After three seasons handling situational work, Njoku was promoted into a featured role in 2022 and certainly looked the part of a former first-round pick. Njoku averaged 10.6 fantasy PPG in 13 full games (seventh among TEs) and finished the season no lower than 11th at the position in targets, receptions, yards, TDs and fantasy points. Two top concerns here are shaky durability (his only full season came in 2018 and he's missed three-plus games three of the past four seasons) and a lack of TDs (he's never cleared four in a season). Njoku was 17th among TEs in fantasy points during five full games with Deshaun Watson, but he did score twice and handled a hefty 21% target share. Njoku could finish as high as second on this team in targets and, with Watson entering his first full season in Cleveland, the 27-year-old tight end is a fine, back-end TE1 option.
