David Njoku Limited to Single Catch in Browns' Loss to Baltimore

David Njoku recorded just one catch on two targets for seven yards in the Browns' 23-16 loss to Baltimore. This follows a career-best seventh season where he caught 81 passes for 882 yards and six touchdowns on 123 targets, with a significant surge in production late in the season under Joe Flacco. Njoku, who will be 28 in 2024, holds a firm starting role and has shown chemistry with Deshaun Watson. His 123 targets last year ranked third among tight ends, and his 18 red-zone targets were also third-most. Despite a quiet Sunday, his track record of durability and high usage, including a four-year, $56.75 million contract extension in 2022, positions him as a high-floor tight end, with the potential for a breakout season if he can scale up his 2021 rate stats with more volume.
