Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. That leaves TE Jordan Akins as Cleveland’s lead TE, although he registered underwhelming 53%, 74%, and 40% route rates in the three games Njoku missed earlier this season. Akins totaled six catches on 10 targets for 49 scoreless yards over those three games. Look elsewhere in season-long lineups.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He didn’t practice all week, but both HC Kevin Stefanski and Njoku said Friday that he still has a chance to play. We’ll look for further updates on Njoku’s status and get Cleveland’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. He’ll obviously carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he plays. If not, Jordan Akins would step in as the Browns’ lead TE and be a desperation fantasy option.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) missed practice again on Thursday. Insider Mary Kay Cabot considers him "unlikely" to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend. We'll see if Njoku gets back on the practice field tomorrow, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him in Week 15 fantasy lineups at this point. Njoku's absence would leave Jordan Akins as Cleveland's lead TE.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Broncos. He didn't practice all week, which is surprising considering he's now nine days removed from his concussion. We'll see if he can get cleared for next weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Tillman's absence this week figures to leave Jamari Thrash as Cleveland's No. 3 WR. We could see more 2-TE sets with Jordan Akins on the field for the Browns. Ultimately, Tillman's absence just means added target upside for WR Jerry Jeudy, WR Elijah Moore, and TE David Njoku.
Browns TE David Njoku (knee, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He returned from his high-ankle sprain last week and subsequently suffered a knee injury. Njoku doesn't seem particularly likely to play vs. the Eagles this weekend, but we'll track his status over the next few days.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He returned to practice this week, which should set him up for a Week 5 return. Jordan Akins gets another game as Cleveland’s lead TE this weekend. He saw just one target in Week 2 but seven last week.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He's now two-and-a-half weeks removed from his high-ankle sprain but is looking unlikely to make it back for Sunday's game against the Raiders. TE Jordan Akins has totaled just five catches for 39 scoreless yards with Njoku out the last two games.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Giants. He remained sidelined in practice all week and isn't a lock to be back for Week 4. Jordan Akins stepped in as Cleveland's lead TE last week but saw just one target on a 53% route rate. He's not a viable fantasy option.
Browns HC Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Wednesday that TE David Njoku is "unlikely" to play vs. the Giants this weekend. Njoku's Week 1 high-ankle sprain was always likely to cost him multiple games. We'd consider him no better than 50/50 to play Week 4.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s avoided IR, which means the team believes he has a good chance to be back before Week 6. But it’ll be Jordan Akins as Cleveland’s lead TE this weekend. He’d be a desperation fantasy play.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Browns TE David Njoku is feared to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. That would likely mean multiple missed games. He'll undergo further testing Monday to confirm the diagnosis.
Despite the return of disgruntled veteran WR Brandin Cooks, 2nd-year WR Nico Collins led the team in targets (10) and catches (5) in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Collins also played more snaps (50-41) than Cooks and ran more routes (33-26). Collins took his 5 receptions for 49 yards, ranking 3rd behind TE Jordan Akins (3-72) and WR Chris Moore (3-70). Collins did claim the team's only TD reception. Moore tied Cooks for 2nd on the team in pass routes, with Akins and WR Phillip Dorsett just 5 routes behind. Cooks will need to pick back up in that area to comfortably reside in fantasy WR3 territory going forward. To be fair, he did catch a 19-yard TD in the 4th quarter Sunday that was nullified by a holding penalty. A Week 11 matchup with the Commanders presents upside for the Houston passing game.
Texans TE Brevin Jordan is a healthy scratch for today’s game vs. the Giants. That leaves Houston with TEs O.J. Howard, Jordan Akins and Teagan Quitoriano. This remains a situation to avoid in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Texans TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday, though, so we’re expecting him to play. Jordan will join O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins in Houston’s TE corps.
Texans TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. TE Pharaoh Brown was released earlier this week, so it’ll be O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins at TE on Sunday.
The Texans released TE Pharaoh Brown. He missed Week 4 with a shoulder injury but led Houston TEs in pass routes in Weeks 2 and 3. The Texans are now down to TE Brevin Jordan, who's missed the last 2 games with an ankle injury, TE O.J. Howard, who is coming off a 65% route rate and 14% target share this past week, and TE Jordan Akins. Howard is worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues.
Texans TE Pharaoh Brown (shoulder) is inactive for today's game vs. the Chargers. With TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) also out, Houston is down to TEs Jordan Akins and O.J. Howard.
Texans TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. TE Pharaoh Brown and Jordan Akins split pass-catching duties in Jordan’s absence last week. Avoid the situation.
Fourth-round rookie TE Daniel Bellinger just might be the favorite to start for the the Giants this season. NJ.com's Zack Rosenblatt reports that Bellinger was "almost exclusively running with the first-team offense" at Thursday's OTA practice. "Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins are both healthy and were running with the backups," Rosenblatt added. Although it's tough to count on much from any rookie TE -- let alone a 4th-round pick -- this report highlights Bellinger's limited competition on the road to a lead job. He's not a bad shot to take as a 3rd TE in best-ball drafts right now, especially when stacked with QB Daniel Jones. We'll keep watching how the situation develops.
The Giants added San Diego State TE Daniel Bellinger in the 4th round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Bellinger totaled just 68 catches for 771 yards and 5 TDs across 4 college seasons. He fared poorly in Pro Football Focus receiving grade and yards per route run last year. On the plus side, the 6'5, 247-pounder earned a 97th percentile Relative Athletic Score at the Combine, highlighted by a 4.63-second 40 time. That at least gives him the potential to be more productive in the pros than he was in college. Bellinger joins a wide-open Giants TE group alongside Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins.
