STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Njoku's role is threatened by increased target competition and offensive scheme shifts.

David Njoku's Week 1 usage was concerning, with a 64.5% route share and a career-low 15% target-per-route-run rate. Increased competition from rookies Denzel Boston and Casey Concepcion, combined with the Browns' reliance on 11 personnel, creates a difficult path for him to replicate last year's production.
