7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 16

David Njoku, TE, Cleveland Browns

Price: $5,300

David Njoku is averaging 5.0 targets per game over his last four, as well as 5.6 per game on the season. Those might not seem like especially impressive marks, but 5.6 per game ranks top-10 among tight ends this year and even 5.0 would be good for 13th.

Consistent volume has been nigh-impossible to come by for cheap tight ends this year, and Njoku is a rare source of it.

He brings that into a great matchup this week as well, taking on the Cincinnati Bengals, who he burned for 5 receptions, 63 yards and 1 touchdown on 5 targets in Week 12.

That big game was no coincidence, either, as our models have Cincy ranked bottom-10 against the pass this year, and they've allowed top-10 fantasy production to tight ends.

The huge efficiency from Week 12 might not be sustainable, but it's a good sign of just how good Njoku's upside can be in this spot, even with middling volume.
