Injury Status: Injured Reserve
Injury: Leg
Los Angeles Chargers tight end David Njoku (leg) has had his practice window opened as he works toward returning from injured reserve, according to Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com. Head coach Jim Harbaugh announced the development Wednesday, bringing Njoku closer to his first appearance since suffering a lower-leg injury against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. The 30-year-old caught six passes for 67 yards across two games before being placed on injured reserve September 23. He recorded five receptions for 58 yards in his only full outing. Oronde Gadsden II has handled an expanded role during Njoku's absence, recording 17 receptions for 155 yards and a touchdown this season, including five catches for 52 yards against the Rams last week. Njoku's eventual return could affect the distribution of tight end targets, with Charlie Kolar also part of the rotation. His availability for Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans remains uncertain, making him a speculative stash in deeper fantasy leagues.

David Njoku 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Out Of Cleveland, Out Of Fantasy Value?
David Njoku did the unthinkable - he survived nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He was often the best pass catcher on the team, which was not saying much. Between 2022 and 2024, Njoku was a top-10 fantasy tight end, including his career-best season in 2023 when he piled up 81 receptions for 882 yards and six scores.

David Njoku did the unthinkable - he survived nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He was often the best pass catcher on the team, which was not saying much. Between 2022 and 2024, Njoku was a top-10 fantasy tight end, including his career-best season in 2023 when he piled up 81 receptions for 882 yards and six scores. The writing was on the wall for Njoku last season, though, when rookie Harold Fannin Jr. knocked him off the TE1 perch on the Browns. He was unable to secure a multiyear deal in the offseason with any team, so he settled for a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers. The problem with that lies with youngster Oronde Gadsden III, who shocked most fantasy pundits by catching 49 passes for 664 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie campaign despite not being drafted until the fifth round. Njoku only topped that yardage total once in his career and is in his 30s, so it stands to reason that he will not get the snaps and targets Gadsden will in 2026. If Gadsden falters or suffers an injury, Njoku could have a 700-yard year with Justin Herbert as his QB, but otherwise it is hard to see the veteran being more than a TE3 for fantasy purposes this year.less...
