The Cleveland Browns will visit the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE David Njoku.
Is David Njoku Playing in Week 12?
Njoku is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Browns’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Njoku in Week 12?
Both Harold Fannin and David Njoku were on the field for at least two-thirds of Cleveland’s offensive snaps on Sunday against Baltimore as this tea tries to cover their lack of receiver depth with an increase in 12-personnel reps.
In points-per-route leagues, Njoku is fine to hold, but with him being held under 40 receiving yards in four straight, it’s hard to spin this profile as an encouraging one.
The Browns aren’t going anywhere, and Fannin is the tight end they stand to learn more about moving forward than Njoku.
I got to TE18 in my rankings this week before his name even entered the conversation.
