Browns Don't Have an Update on David Njoku

Monday, October 13, 3:41 PM

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that the team didn't have an update yet on tight end David Njoku (knee) after he injured his knee in Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Before leaving early on Sunday, Njoku had three catches on six targets for 28 yards. With no update on Njoku's condition, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for a Week 7 tilt against the Miami Dolphins right now. If Njoku is out or limited for the upcoming game against Miami, rookie Harold Fannin Jr. would have clear TE1 upside in a plus matchup. Blake Whiteheart would also likely see the field more as Fanning's backup. Njoku is still involved in Cleveland's passing attack, but the emergence of Fannin has capped his fantasy upside as a TE1 option. Through six weeks, Njoku has a 23-223-1 line on 36 targets.

Mike Gesicki Won't Play on Thursday, Expected to be "Out for a While"

Monday, October 13, 1:23 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) will not play on Thursday night for a Week 7 divisional clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers and will be "out for a while" due to the pectoral injury he suffered in the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, according to head coach Zac Taylor. The 30-year-old played only two offensive snaps on Sunday before getting injured. Tanner Hudson (head) caught four of five targets for 10 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay before going into the concussion protocol. On a short week, Hudson will probably have difficulty gaining clearance to play on Thursday night, which means Noah Fant could be in line for a significant pass-catching role at TE for the Bengals in Week 7. Gesicki has caught only eight passes on 16 targets this year for 61 yards and no touchdowns through six weeks.
