Is David Njoku Playing Tonight? (Latest Injury Update for Bengals vs. Browns in NFL Week 8)

The Cleveland Browns look to get back on track on Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals this evening, but will be without tight end David Njoku, who is dealing with a high ankle sprain.

Njoku is expected to miss two-to-five weeks with the injury.

Njoku's absence comes at a tough time for fantasy owners, prop bettors and Browns fans, as he was really coming on over the last few weeks.

The Browns tight end had at least 58 receiving yards in each of his last five games, tallying 30 receptions for 379 yards and one touchdowns over that stretch.

Cleveland is in a bit of slide and sits at 2-5 on the season. It coms into this game as a 3.5-point underdog at FanDuel. Over the past 10 years, underdogs are 12-4-1 ATS on Halloween.

Best Harrison Bryant Prop Bets vs. Bengals in NFL Week 8

Harrison Bryant is the next man up at tight end for Cincy, especially with Pharoah Brown (questionable) still up in the air for Monday's contest.

Bryant doesn't have many props available, but you can get him at +320 to score a touchdown in this division matchup.

I don't mind this prop for Bryant, who has a small role in the offense when Njoku is healthy, making 14 catches this season. Njoku had 36 targets over his last five games, so there's a good chance that Bryant sees around 5-6 looks on Monday night.

With one less target available in the red zone for Cleveland, you could do worse than Bryant at these odds.
