The Read: Njoku is a late-career athletic bet with enough old fire still in the wiring to matter. He is no longer priced like an ascending cornerstone, but the Chargers did not add him to be decorative drywall. The dynasty angle is clean: contenders can use him as a spike-week TE2 with red-zone and two-tight-end utility, while rebuilders should not pretend the name has more long runway than it actually does.
Dynasty UseContender TE depthBest used as a second tight end, injury bridge, bye-week patch, best-ball piece, or touchdown-flex streamer with spike-week outs.
Risk ShapeAge, injuries, and usage crowdThe athletic profile is aging, the missed-game pockets are real, and Los Angeles has multiple tight-end bodies competing for routes.
