David Njoku: David Njoku Ruled Out for Week 7

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Week 7 tilt this Sunday against the visiting Miami Dolphins, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Njoku will not be able to suit up this weekend after injuring his knee in last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and missing practice all week. With the 29-year-old sidelined, rookie Harold Fannin Jr. will have clear TE1 upside in fantasy lineups in a plus matchup against Miami's soft defense. Blake Whiteheart should also see a bigger role in a backup role on Sunday. It's unclear if Njoku will be in play to make his return next weekend in Week 8 versus the New England Patriots. Njoku's fantasy ceiling has been lowered in 2025 due to the quick emergence of Fannin, as he has only 23 catches for 223 yards and one touchdown on 36 targets through his first six games.
