Is David Njoku playing tonight? (Injury Update, Steelers vs. Brown Betting Impact)

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has been in limited practice this week, but he is not listed on the injury report and is ready to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This is great news for the Browns as Njoku has been one of the top receivers in the Browns offense with Jameis Winston under center.

With Cleveland considered the major underdog in Week 12, it may have to rely on the passing game to keep Pittsburgh’s vaunted defense in check.

Here’s a breakdown of Njoku’s Week 12 props.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

If there’s a Browns player worth rooting for in this game, it might be Njoku, who was targeted by Jameis Winston under center.

In three games with Jameis, Njoku had nine, seven and seven targets, and he also had 14 targets in a game when Deshaun Watson was injured against Cincy. Njoku didn’t find the end zone in Week 11 but did catch a two-point conversion, a sign the Browns will use him in short-yardage situations.

Given his use in this offense, Njoku will be worth a look in this prop on Thursday night.

If you’re not confident in him as a touchdown scorer, Njoku has at least five catches in five straight games, making him a good pick to clear out his receiving base.
