Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Njoku will be at less than 100% and trying to catch passes from QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson if he ends up playing. We’d try to look elsewhere for Week 16 fantasy lineups.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. "He’s pushing himself, he’s trying to get there," HC Kevin Stefanski said of Njoku's status for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. We'll see if he's able to get back on the practice field tomorrow, but fantasy owners should be lining up an alternative for Week 16.
Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson will be the starting QB this week against the Bengals. QB Jameis Winston was benched against the Chiefs after throwing three interceptions, replaced by Thompson-Robinson. The Browns will get another look at the young QB this week.
Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught 11 of his 14 targets for 108 yards in the Browns’ loss to the Chiefs today. With WR Cedric Tillman still out, along with TE David Njoku missing the game, Jeudy was again the target hog with a 43.75% target share.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. That leaves TE Jordan Akins as Cleveland’s lead TE, although he registered underwhelming 53%, 74%, and 40% route rates in the three games Njoku missed earlier this season. Akins totaled six catches on 10 targets for 49 scoreless yards over those three games. Look elsewhere in season-long lineups.
ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport both label Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) a game-time decision for today's tilt with the Chiefs. "Not practicing all week doesn't bode well," Rapoport adds. "But the team will give him a shot." We're still projecting Njoku to miss this one but will get Cleveland's inactives around 11:30 am ET. Even if he does play, he'll carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups with the hamstring injury.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He didn’t practice all week, but both HC Kevin Stefanski and Njoku said Friday that he still has a chance to play. We’ll look for further updates on Njoku’s status and get Cleveland’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. He’ll obviously carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he plays. If not, Jordan Akins would step in as the Browns’ lead TE and be a desperation fantasy option.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) missed practice again on Thursday. Insider Mary Kay Cabot considers him "unlikely" to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend. We'll see if Njoku gets back on the practice field tomorrow, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him in Week 15 fantasy lineups at this point. Njoku's absence would leave Jordan Akins as Cleveland's lead TE.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kevin Stefanski labeled him "day-to-day." So, while this isn't a serious injury, it sounds like there's a chance Njoku isn't available for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. We'll keep tabs on his status over the next few days.
Browns TE David Njoku led the team in targets for the second straight game Sunday. His 13 looks constituted 31.7% of Jameis Winston's total pass attempts in the loss to Pittsburgh. Njoku made a team-high 7 catches for 42 yards and a TD.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's now a long shot to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Michael Woods finished third among Cleveland WRs in routes last week, catching three of five targets for 43 yards. He'd be a desperation Week 14 fantasy play. Tillman's absence leaves extra targets for Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore, and David Njoku.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Broncos. He didn't practice all week, which is surprising considering he's now nine days removed from his concussion. We'll see if he can get cleared for next weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Tillman's absence this week figures to leave Jamari Thrash as Cleveland's No. 3 WR. We could see more 2-TE sets with Jordan Akins on the field for the Browns. Ultimately, Tillman's absence just means added target upside for WR Jerry Jeudy, WR Elijah Moore, and TE David Njoku.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) remained sidelined on Friday. HC Kevin Stefanski said that he’s not yet ruling Tillman out for Monday night’s game vs. the Broncos, but he’s a long shot to be cleared in time for that one. Rookie WR Jamari Thrash was the primary replacement for Tillman last week but would be a desperation fantasy start. Tillman’s absence should mean more targets for WR Jerry Jeudy, WR Elijah Moore, and TE David Njoku.
The forecast for tonight's Steelers-Browns game calls for temperatures just above freezing, 85% chance of precipitation, and winds of 15-20 mph with gusts of 25-30 mph. That's ugly. Expect an even run-heavier game plan from the Steelers than usual and for the Browns to run more than they typically do. And don't expect many points. This game has 36.5-point over/under. We'd avoid both QBs and kickers in the game and downgrade the WRs. See where all the Steelers and Browns sit in the updated Week 12 Rankings.
Browns HC Kevin Stefansk said Monday that QB Jameis Winston remains the team's starter "for the duration." That plan could change, of course, depending on Winston's play. But he'll at least start this weekend's game vs. the Saints.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle, hand) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He was sidelined on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. Njoku should be ready for a high-volume role vs. the Chargers this weekend.
Browns TE David Njoku was added to the injury report with ankle and hand issues and did not practice on Thursday. Njoku missed three games earlier this season with an ankle injury, although it's unclear if this is related. Check back tomorrow for an update on Njoku's status for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers.
Browns QB Jameis Winston will remain the team's starter going forward, HC Kevin Stefanski said Monday. Any other reaction to Winston's strong Week 8 showing wouldn't have made sense. Winston smoked the Ravens for 334 yards and three TDs in the upset win. Other than a lost fumble late in the first half and a bad throw late in the second that should have been picked off, Winston was excellent.
The Browns plan to start QB Jameis Winston in Sunday's game against the Ravens, according to insider Jordan Schultz. "My understanding is Dorian Thompson-Robinson was [Deshaun] Watson’s backup on Sunday strictly from a gameplan standpoint," Schultz adds. That suggests that Cleveland is opting to go with Winston over Thompson-Robinson regardless of Thompson-Robinson's finger injury. That'd be good news for Cleveland's pass catchers going forward.
Browns TE David Njoku was predictably busy in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He saw a 27% target share, as a trio of Cleveland QBs -- Deshaun Watson, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Jameis Winston -- attempted double-digit passes.
