Sharp take

Sharp SixBenchRight · −8.9 under the line

Njoku is projected for 69.5 points on the season with a value over replacement of minus 118.5, which is another way of saying he was already a bye-week patch. A cart is bad news for him and a rounding error for your lineup. He sits on 64.8% of rosters, most of which have not looked at that slot since draft night. Bench him and move on if your tight end room needs a body. If it doesn't, you never had a decision here.
