Will David Njoku play tonight? (Injury update, Steelers vs. Brown betting impact

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku was a limited participant in practice this week, but he is off the injury report and good to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

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

With Cleveland a big underdog in Week 12, it may have to lean on the passing game to keep things close to the vaunted Pittsburgh defense.

Here’s a look at the props for Njoku in Week 12.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

If there’s a Browns player to back in this game, it might be Njoku, who was a target with Jameis Winston under center.

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

Considering his usage in this offense, Njoku is worth a look in this prop on Thursday night.

If you’re not sold on him as a touchdown scorer, Njoku has at least five catches in five straight games, making him a good choice to clear his receiving aid as well.
