David Njoku Suiting Up for Week 8 Against Patriots

Sunday, October 26, 11:34 AM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New England Patriots. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The 29-year-old is returning from a one-game absence and should step back into the No. 1 tight end role on Sunday. Through six games this year, he has 23 catches, 223 yards, and one touchdown, ranking as the overall TE20 in PPR leagues. Njoku has 15 targets, nine catches, 95 yards, and a touchdown through two games with Dillon Gabriel, so perhaps he'll find success as a high-end TE2 this week. It helps that he's playing the Patriots, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points and eighth-most receptions to opposing tight ends in 2025.

Chig Okonkwo Looking to Bounce Back

Friday, October 24, 9:58 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo is hopeful for a bounce back game after posting a dud last week. In Week 7, Okonkwo gave fantasy managers nothing as he failed to haul in either of his targets in the loss to the New England Patriots. Before that, Okonkwo hauled in six receptions against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. That being said, this game could've been a fluke, but Okonkwo hasn't been a great option regardless. At best, Okonkwo should be viewed as a TE2 for the upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
