Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is not on the practice field for Thursday's session, according to Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. Njoku injured his knee in the Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday and has now missed the first two practices this week, putting him on track to miss Sunday's Week 7 contest versus the Miami Dolphins. He will need to get back on the practice field on Friday to have any chance of playing this weekend. Njoku hasn't been a strong TE1 play in 2025 in fantasy football because of the presence of impressive rookie TE Harold Fannin Jr. Even though the 29-year-old's injury doesn't appear to be a serious one, he could miss at least one week. If he does not suit up on Sunday, his next chance to play would come in Week 8 against the New England Patriots. Fannin will be a clear TE1 asset for fantasy managers against Miami if Njoku sits.

When asked about running back Kenneth Walker III potentially earning more snaps due to his effectiveness this year relative to Zach Charbonnet, head coach Mike McDonald said that the team takes statistics into account, but they have a plan for their RB usage. McDonald added that both Walker and Charbonnet are playing "high-level football," and they will continue to use both backs. Seattle's running game has been a disappointment through six weeks, but the 24-year-old Walker has been more efficient with his touches than Charb has been. Walker had only 10 carries for 34 yards in the Week 6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, though, adding one catch for three yards. Before that, Walker had gone over 80 rushing yards in two straight games. Fantasy managers should expect a similar backfield split moving forward as the Seahawks look to keep the oft-injured Walker healthy.
