In 2022 the Browns made the head scratching move of making Njoku one of the highest paid tight ends in the league. Clearly Cleveland was paying for what was to come, as Njoku had a career year in 2023 as a lynchpin player on offense. His 123 targets were 3rd among tight ends and his 81 receptions for 882 yards and 6 touchdowns were all career highs by a wide margin. Though he can struggle with inconsistent hands, his elite measurables make him a threat for all levels of the defense. While he was a league winner with Flacco down the stretch of last season, the addition of Jeudy, question marks around Watson and the change of the offense, leave Njoku closer to the bottom of the TE1 pile than the top.

Browns

FFToday's Take: With Deshaun Watson suffering an Achilles injury last week and DTR injuring his finger, Winston will get the start against the Ravens in Week 8. This should be a boost to the Browns pass catchers but TE David Njoku will be the most reliable. Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman will be risky Flex options at wide receiver. On the plus side, the Ravens have given up the 3rd-most fantasy points to Quarterbacks.
|  Likely high-ankle sprain for David Njoku
Expected to miss 4-6 weeks

| | David Njoku is feared to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapaport. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Given how bad Deshaun Watson looked again versus the Cowboys, Njoku may not have had much upside even if he was healthy over the next month. Jordan Akins will likely absorb most of the snaps at tight end in Njoku's absence. With that said, it is hard to get overly excited about any pass-catcher for the Browns right now - outside of Amari Cooper and maybe Jerry Jeudy.
