Browns TE David Njoku drew a team-high 7 targets in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That accounted for 30.4% of QB Deshaun Watson's total attempts. Njoku also led the team with 5 receptions but tallied just 31 yards.
This marked just the second time this season that Njoku has complete a game. The target share was nice at Philly, but Njoku drew just 11.1% of Watson's attempts back in Week 1.
Although he'll carry weekly target-share upside, expect Njoku to settle in south of 20% most commonly.
The Browns figure to usually pass more than the 23 times they did against the Eagles. But they're also averaging just 147 passing yards per game through six weeks.
Njoku makes for a fine weekly TE option but will be limited by his situation.
A Week 7 matchup with a bad Cincinnati defense presents upside, at least.
