2024 Season Outlooks

Njoku had a career season in 2023, and we'll see if he can produce at a high level once again this year. He's worth drafting as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues with a mid- to late-round pick. Njoku averaged a career-best 12.6 PPR points per game last season, but you have to look at his 2024 campaign in two parts. He was great with Joe Flacco to end the season, but Njoku struggled with Deshaun Watson, who will be the starter in 2024. Njoku scored 6.8 PPR points or less in three of five games with Watson, but he scored at least 16.4 PPR points in each of his final four games with Flacco. We're hopeful Njoku can be more productive with Watson this year, and a full season together should help. Njoku is a good tight end to wait for on Draft Day in all leagues, but don't reach for him based solely on last year's success.

Njoku, who is entering his eighth season, hit career highs in receptions, receving yards and touchdowns in 2023. He was a fantasy playoff star in Weeks 14-17 with Joe Flacco at quarterback, posting two games of 26 or more points, with at least one touchdown reception in three of four games. On the flip side, Njoku produced three games of double-digit fantasy production, and just one touchdown, in Deshaun Watson's six starts last season. While that can create some concern, we are trusting the rare talent with Njoku as a mid-tier TE1 in Kevin Stefanski's heavily schemed pass game.
