BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: I shouldn't be writing this post because David Njoku's rostership is already above the self-imposed 50-percent limit, but we're here for a reason. A simple one, in fact: Njoku should be rostered – let alone, started – in more than 85 percent of Yahoo leagues at the very least.
If you have paid attention to the offseason news, you know that Cleveland is playing its first few games with Jacoby Brissett as the Browns QB1. Not the greatest thing for fantasy GMs out there betting on Browns skill-position players, but that seems to be getting fixed by the week. Ask David: Njokou suffered a stinker of a Week 1 game in which he got targeted exactly once for one reception and seven yards.
That has only improved in the past two games, though. Njoku grabbed three-of-five targets in W2 for 32 yards (good, not great) for a TE22 finish that week, and he's now coming off a TE1 (overall, that is) outing last TNF to the tune of a 9-of-10 reception match in which Njoku scored his first TD of the year to go with 89 yards and total PPR tally of 23.9 fantasy points!
The improvement is very easy to spot on all fronts. From one to five to 10 targets. From one to three to nine receptions. From seven to 32 to 89 yards. And from no scores in the first two games to his first against Pittsburgh. Don't add Njoku expecting to get a weekly 20+ PPR haul, but don't let this man sit on the WW any longer.
