CockcroftFantasy FootballFantasy HomePosition Rank24% Rostered89.4% Change 7 Days4.1News: 4 days agoNjoku brought in four of five targets for 40 yards in the Browns' 41-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.Spin: Njoku tied for second in receptions and finished third in receiving yards on the afternoon for the Browns. Fellow tight end Harold Fannin still outpaced Njoku by one catch and eight receiving yards, however, although both players saw the same number of targets. It appears each will retain meaningful roles in the offense for the time being, and Njoku will head into a Week 3 home matchup against the Packers with a 7-77-0 receiving line on 11 targets.ESPN Fantasy Projection: Njoku is entering his ninth NFL season following a 2024 campaign in which he missed six games but was terrific when active, averaging a career-high 13.5 fantasy points per game. He was a top-10 scorer in seven of 11 games and finished top 5 at the position in targets for the second season in a row. Njoku has rarely been very productive in the scoring department (his career high is six touchdowns), but he found the end zone five times last season and has now led the position in end zone targets two years in a row. Despite Cleveland's never-ending QB issues, Njoku has finished 11th or better in three consecutive fantasy campaigns (top 8 in PPG) and the 29-year-old remains a midrange TE1.Latest VideosNjoku says Browns 'have all the tools' to win Super Bowl2:47Why the Browns should trade TE Njoku1:07Njoku wants out of Cleveland0:38See AllFind TicketsVividSeatsBrowns vs PackersHuntington Bank Field - Sun 9/21/25, TBDTickets as low as $68Buy Browns tickets with VividSeatsOther GamesSearch by TeamAll NFL Tickets9/21 vs Packers 4,009 tickets left9/28 @ Lions 4,681 tickets left10/5 vs Vikings 942 tickets left10/5 vs Vikings 296 tickets left10/12 @ Steelers 3,719 tickets left10/19 vs Dolphins 10,312 tickets left10/26 @ Patriots 2,966 tickets left11/9 @ Jets 10,857 tickets left11/16 vs Ravens 12,498 tickets left11/23 @ Raiders 4,808 tickets left11/30 vs 49ers 10,978 tickets left12/7 vs Titans 12,437 tickets left12/14 @ Bears 5,090 tickets left12/21 vs Bills 10,413 tickets left12/28 vs Steelers 11,438 tickets left1/4 @ Bengals 4,451 tickets lefthidden2025 AFC North StandingsTeamWLTPCTPFPACincinnati2001.0004843Baltimore110.5008158Pittsburgh110.5005163Cleveland020.0003358Terms of UsePrivacy PolicyYour US State Privacy RightsChildren's Online Privacy PolicyInterest-Based AdsAbout Nielsen MeasurementDo Not Sell or Share My Personal InformationContact UsDisney Ad Sales SiteWork for ESPNCorrectionsESPN BET Sportsbook is owned and operated by PENN Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries ('PENN').
