Njoku is with the Chargers now, and he walks into a similar mix: they threw on 57 percent of their plays last season, 12th of 32, against 59 percent and 7th for the Browns. He has not played a game for them, so the club figures below are the Chargers' and his own are what he did with the Browns. Njoku was 3rd on the Browns in targets in 2025, with 48 of the 402 they threw in the 11 regular season games he played. He is listed at 6-4 and 246 pounds, shorter than 71 percent of the 187 tight ends on a 2026 roster and lighter than 65 percent of them. The 17 defenses on the Chargers' 2026 schedule gave up 220.5 passing yards a game last season; the 17 the Browns met gave up 231.2.

Pass attempts plus sacks taken, over those plus rushing attempts. A sack is a called pass that never became an attempt, so it counts on the pass side. Kneel-downs sit inside the rushing attempts and cannot be separated out.His targets over his club's, counted across the games he played. Games he missed are in neither total.These are box score totals, not charted by alignment, so there is no split of what a defense gives up to slot receivers, to backs or to any other role. Nothing here claims one.

Record against the posted line, by market

Every market our archive priced him in at least eight times · the line is each book's opening number, median across the books quoting it · a market we priced fewer times is left off rather than shown with a sample too small to mean anything

Over rate excludes pushes and prints the decided count it is taken over. Whole-number markets (receptions, interceptions) push often, so overs divided by games would read several points off. The touchdown market posts no number at all, only a price, so it is graded as scored or not against the price implied by the books before their margin.
