2024: Coming off the first 100-target season of his career, Njoku quickly fell into the injury nexus, missing three weeks after Week 1 and three of Cleveland’s final four games of the season. In-between he showed us exactly what we wanted, with five touchdowns in 11 starts and four 10-target games. A great, if incomplete, season for the veteran tight end.
What’s changed: With Deshaun Watson hurt, Njoku emerged in the middle of the season with Jameis Winston. But Watson is likely to miss this season and Winston is gone, leaving Njoku’s fantasy fate in the hands of a four-quarterback competition that could contain four different varieties of an unsatisfying season. It makes it hard to trust Njoku as a mid-range TE1 despite his production track record over the past two seasons.
Outlook: The Njoku experience last year was a perfect encapsulation of it being over and then it being back – over and over again. Know that when you get on the ride, but there is a top-five ceiling here, particularly if Njoku gets to work with Joe Flacco again and the two connect like they did in late 2023.
