Fresh Start in Los Angeles Adds Intrigue to Veteran Tight End's Fantasy Outlook

David Njoku heads to the West Coast on a one-year deal, joining a high-powered Los Angeles offense anchored by Justin Herbert. Entering the season, our models project him for 40 receptions, 429 receiving yards, and 3 touchdowns over a full campaign. While he is listed behind Oronde Gadsden on the current depth chart, his proven athleticism and ability to produce in multiple schemes provide a solid foundation for rotational impact.

Looking at the draft market, Njoku's ADP has shown steady movement, hovering around the 187 range after dipping briefly into the 160s earlier in the summer. This represents a modest late-round cost for fantasy managers searching for touchdown upside at the tight end position. Our projections suggest he can outperform this draft-day price if he carves out a consistent red-zone role in Jim Harbaugh's offensive system.

Fantasy managers should view Njoku as a viable late-round target or streaming option in deeper formats. While his past campaigns in Cleveland demonstrated higher ceiling outcomes, joining a crowded receiving corps featuring Ladd McConkey and others introduces some weekly volatility. Nevertheless, his new surroundings offer plenty of scoring opportunities for managers willing to wait on the position.
