Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught three of four targets for just eight receiving yards during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo's three receptions totaled ten, four, and negative six yards. The 25-year-old is having his worst NFL season yet, catching just 30 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns while ranking outside the top 30 fantasy tight ends. The 25-year-old belongs on waivers in most fantasy leagues, including next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo had three catches for 27 yards on a season-high six targets in Week 13's ugly 42-19 loss to the Washington Commanders. Okonkwo had an impressive 70-yard touchdown catch last week in a critical spot in the Titans' road win over the Texans. This week, he didn't break any big plays like that but was more involved, matching his target total from the previous three weeks combined. The Titans were forced to throw the ball more based on the game script, but Okonkwo's increased involvement is a great sign for him coming down the stretch. He has tasty matchups for tight ends against the Jaguars, Bengals, and Colts over the next three weeks. He's a TE2 but has upside in those favorable matchups due to his big-play ability.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo should be viewed as a risky TE2 heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Despite operating as the clear No.1 tight end in Tennessee this season, Okonkwo has struggled to produce consistent fantasy results. Last weekend, he caught his lone target for an impressive 70 yards. However, before this game, he only tallied at least 50 receiving yards on one other occasion this season. Since Week 7, the 25-year-old has seen an average of just 3.2 targets per game, making him a risky fantasy asset. Facing the Washington Commanders who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season, Okonkwo should be viewed as a low-end TE2 with risk.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo can be safely avoided by fantasy managers this Sunday when he squares off against the visiting Minnesota Vikings. The 25-year-old is Tennessee's clear TE1, though it has yet to amount to much in the fantasy department. Okonkwo is averaging an abysmal 2.3 receptions and 19.2 receiving yards per contest through nine games. Additionally, he'll face a tough test this weekend in a Vikings defense that has been stout against opposing passing attacks this season, letting up the seventh-fewest yards per pass attempt (5.7). Minnesota has been solid against tight ends, too, with 5.3 fantasy points allowed per game to the position. The Maryland product is RotoBaller's PPR TE29 for this weekend's slate.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo faces the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. The good news for Okonkwo is that he posted his second-highest yardage total of the season last week versus New England, but the bad news is that it only amounted to 38 yards. Both of his most productive games have been without quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) quarterbacking the team, but he has been announced as the Week 10 starter. Okonkwo is not worthy of a roster spot in most leagues at the moment and remains off the fantasy radar in Week 10 against a great defense.
