That Njoku will be the #1 TE in football this year?

I have him on my team so I hope so. But I think that's probably a long shot. It would at least probably take a couple of major injuries for that to happen. Who knows though. I don't have a crystal ball.

1- is he good enough to:

catch 80 balls -or- hit 1k reYds -or- catch 10 TDs

2- will his QB be good enough for him to

catch 80 balls -or- hit 1k reYds -or- catch 10 TDs


3- will they throw enough for him to

catch 80 balls -or- hit 1k reYds -or- catch 10 TDs


Im going to say NO

His best shot is to catch a bunch of touchdowns. He did pretty well in that regard last year even without as much opportunity. Hard to see 1k+ yards though.

i actually think his value will be in the yards with that YAC ability


Too early to call with Gordon not in camp and the rumors of Dez in the air. TEs in Todd Haley offenses havent really been peppered with targets historically, and he uses a lot of 3 WR sets (which in theory could be Juice, Dez, Gordon - seemingly heavy target monsters). Will Tyrod play all year at QB?

I can see a perfect storm where joku busts out into top 5 territory. He has the talent but the other factors must allow it

He’s physically talented enough but being TE1 isn’t as easy as it was 10 years ago. They are getting 1k yards & 80 catches. Top 3 TE last year saw 110 targets

He’s 3rd option at best, if they sign Dez then 4th best & maybe 3rd best RZ target too. On a team that I think will be bottom 5-7 in PA

I'm really not buying this Dez business. Either him going to the Browns or particularly him being very good anymore. Also wouldn't be surprised for Njoku to be the best RZ target. Who is supposed to be better than him? Is Gordon known for being a big RZ threat? I honestly don't remember if that was what he was known for. I thought it was more so the big plays. Jarvis isn't. He did better last year, but he hadn't been in the past. I guess it remains to be seen how much being the RZ threat for the Browns offense means.
