News: 3 days agoThe Chargers placed Njoku (fibula) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Spin: Njoku will be sidelined for at least the Chargers' next four games after sustaining a fibula injury in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders. Fellow tight end Charlie Kolar (forearm) was able to avoid placement on IR but has already been ruled out for the Chargers' Week 3 contest in Buffalo, leaving Oronde Gadsden as the top option on the depth chart heading into that game.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Njoku signed with the Chargers after spending his first nine NFL seasons in Cleveland. The 2017 first-round pick was a late bloomer and has struggled with durability (he hasn't played a full season since 2018), but he has been a productive fantasy starter in recent years. Prior to a lost 2025 campaign, Njoku finished in the top eight among tight ends in fantasy PPG three seasons in a row. A force near the goal line, Njoku paced the position in end zone targets in both 2023 and 2024. At 30 years old, Njoku likely still has something left in the tank, but he has a tough path to fantasy relevance in a Los Angeles tight end room that also includes ascending Oronde Gadsden II and Charlie Kolar. Njoku will only be worth an add if he quickly takes control as the team's clear starter at the position.
