DAVID NJOKU NEWS

New career high in receptions Njoku corralled nine of 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.

Impact The tight end set a new career high in receptions after previously counting a pair of seven-catch tallies as his personal best in that category. Njoku consistently got open against Steelers linebackers, and his seven-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter snapped a 7-7 tie while serving as his first trip to the end zone since Week 17 of last season, also versus Pittsburgh. Njoku's target tally was also his highest since back-to-back games with 11 in Baker Mayfield's rookie 2018 campaign, sending the 2017 first-rounder into a Week 4 road matchup versus the Falcons a week from Sunday with plenty of momentum.

More activity Week 2 Njoku caught three of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

Impact After a quiet opening game in which he was targeted just once, Njoku was back on top of the tight end group with his five targets. He was on the field for 94 percent of the offensive snaps (63 of 67 snaps), a greater share than he had in Week 1. This is still an offense dominated by its running backs, but quarterback Jacoby Brissett looked downfield more in Week 2 and averaged 8.5 yards per attempt, up from 4.3 against the Panthers, so the Cleveland passing game is beginning to show glimmers of upside.
