David Njoku Remains Limited as Prep for Week 10 Begins

Thursday, November 12, 5:42 PM

Los Angeles Chargers tight end David Njoku (fibula) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday, according to the team's official injury report. Njoku, who is currently on injured reserve, logged two limited sessions last week. Therefore, although Thursday's participation level is a step in the right direction, it's still far from a guarantee that he'll play in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens. The good news is that the Chargers play on Monday night, giving Njoku an extra day to get healthy as he continues to work his way back from a fibula injury that he suffered in Week 2. Njoku had five catches for 58 yards in his only fully healthy game this season, and he is expected to be a key part of the passing attack if activated, especially with wide receivers Ladd McConkey (back) and Tre' Harris (shoulder) uncertain for this week. Managers should stay tuned for updates on Njoku's status after the Chargers wrap up practice on Friday and Saturday.

Jeremy Ruckert News

New York Jets and Jeremy Ruckert Agree to a Two-Year Extension

Wednesday, December 17, 9:45 AM

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday morning that the New York Jets have agreed to terms with young tight end Jeremy Ruckert, locking him in for the future. He gets a 2-year, $10M extension with upside to $11M. Ruckert, the fourth-year player out of Ohio State, has underwhelmed in the receiving game since joining the Jets. This year, he has hit career highs in receptions (20) and receiving yards (163), but was drafted in the third round and is an asset to the team primarily because of his willingness and effectiveness to block in the run game. The Jets now have Ruckert and a rookie out of LSU, Mason Taylor, as their top tight end options for years to come. From a fantasy football standpoint, Ruckert is well off the radar and shouldn't be rostered in any formats.
