The Cleveland Browns will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. 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 13?
Njoku (knee) was limited at Thursday’s practice.
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 13?
This offense leaves a lot to be desired.
That’s fair, but I also think it’s fair that they probably aren’t working with as positive of a game script as they were on Sunday in Vegas again this season.
David Njoku and Harold Fannin combined to run just 26 routes, a low number regardless of the split.
That said, it was Fannin that saw the only tight end targets from Shedeur Sanders (six of them, catching five) and that’s the concerning part. The Browns aren’t going to be in scoring position on any kind of regular basis and that makes volume non-negotiable, something that is heavily leaning in the direction of the rookie at this point.
I’d caught against crossing Njoku off of your streaming radar all together, we still don’t really know what this Sanders led offense is going to be, but he’s off of it for now and needs to show me some target earning tendencies before I reconsider.
All reports have him as healthy from the knee injury that was bugging him and that has me thinking that his 47.9% snap share (Fannin: 89.6%) is what we can/should expect over the final month.
