Cleveland, 2-1 on the season, needs all the active playmakers possible. After losing running back Nick Chubb to a brutal lower leg injury, the team brought back former running back Kareem Hunt to help fill the void at the position. As for Njoku, he's caught 10-of-11 targets this season for 92 yards to start the year.
