David Njoku

David Njoku (hamstring) is inactive for Week 15 against the Chiefs.

The Browns tried to keep up the illusion that Njoku might play after failing to get in a single practice rep, but it was always an extreme long shot. His absence makes Jordan Akins a Hail Mary TE2 streamer for the first week of the fantasy playoffs. Joining Njoku on the shelf are QB Bailey Zappe, WR Cedric Tillman, RB D’Onta Foreman, CB Chigozie Anusiem and EDGE James Houston. The fact that Njoku at least tried to play this week suggests he will be on the right side of questionable for Week 16.
