David Njoku played 56% of snaps across two drives before being pulled for the day.NegativeUsageAug 24, 2026
Njoku played two snaps on the opening drive and took three more snaps later, totaling five snaps in preseason; he rested in the first preseason game, and the source notes Mike McDaniel prioritizes blocking over receiving with his tight ends.NegativeRoleAug 10, 2026
Njoku is part of the Chargers' TE rotation alongside Kolar and Gadsden; his blocking ability could render Gadsden as the odd man out, though Njoku's own snap share and fantasy viability remain uncertain.NegativeProjectionJul 28, 2026
Njoku posted three consecutive productive seasons (TE8 in 2022, TE7 in 2023, TE4 in 2024) before declining to TE28 in 2025 due to various knee injuries and the emergence of Harold Fannin; with the Chargers, the path to a full-time role is unclear due to Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kolar offering more in the receiving and blocking departments respectively.NegativeProjectionJul 28, 2026
Njoku peeled off three consecutive productive seasons in 2022 (TE8 in PPR points per game), 2023 (TE7), and 2024 (TE4) before declining badly in 2025 (TE28) due to various knee injuries and the emergence of Harold Fannin; the path to a full-time role with the Chargers doesn't seem clear due to Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kolar offering more in the receiving and blocking departments respectively.NegativeRoleJul 28, 2026
Addition to Chargers limits opportunities for Oronde Gadsden; the source notes the Chargers went out of their way to add both Charlie Kolar and David Njoku, raising questions about priority treatment for Gadsden.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
Njoku is released by Cleveland and lands in Los Angeles (TE30 rank vs. TE32 ADP); the source rates him a SELL because he joins a rotation with Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kolar rather than stepping into a clear starting role. The source expects him to approach his career low in targets. A new team is not always a fresh start, and this landing spot limits him more than it helps him.
