David Njoku

The Cleveland Browns reportedly "do not sound inclined" to trade tight end David Njoku, despite expectations that they will be aggressive to acquire talent ahead of the league's trade deadline.

Fantasy Impact

Njoku has been a part of trade rumors given his expiring contract, making him a good candidate for a buying team. However, the Browns are expected to be buyers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, and Cleveland has a role for both him and rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr., as the Browns sit toward the top of the league in tight end snaps and usage. He could be a good fit for a more potent offense if he is moved.

David Njoku caught 4-of-5 targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Browns 32-13 loss against the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Njoku was one of two tight ends to catch a pass on the day for the Browns. He still made an impact despite playing on a snap count. He'll continue to split snaps with Harold Fannin out of the bye.

David Njoku has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Njoku was limited at practice all week. He should be on the favorable side of questionable. He figures to return to splitting snaps with Harold Fannin.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran tight end was once again a limited participant at practice on Thursday. It looks like he's slightly trending towards playing in Week 8, which would be less than ideal for the workload of rookie Harold Fannin Jr. against the Patriots.

David Njoku (knee) was officially a limited participant at practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Njoku ended up being a limited participant at Cleveland's practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury. It looks like he will have a good chance to make his return to the lineup in Week 8, which would mean less work for rookie Harold Fannin Jr. moving forward.
