Chigoziem Okonkwo Feeling Great Heading Into 2024 Season
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo is excited about the way his body is feeling and the direction of the team heading into the 2024 regular season this fall. "I feel like I maximized the potential I had in my body, and if I wanted to get better, I had to change the structure of how I move and stuff," Okonkwo said. "(I feel) a big difference, even the way I feel, my body. I feel a lot better when I move. After a long day of moving, I don't feel as sore." The fourth-rounder in 2022 caught 54 passes for 528 yards and a touchdown in 17 games (11 starts) in his second year in 2023. He had three TDs and more average yards per catch in his rookie campaign. The 24-year-old's stock is trending up, but in an offense that now includes receivers Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, in addition to DeAndre Hopkins, it's hard to envision Okonkwo ascending to the ranks of surefire TE1 in fantasy.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo caught two of his three targets for 36 yards in the season-ending win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The second-year pass-catcher underwhelmed in fantasy football this year, finishing with 54 receptions for 528 yards and one score. If he remains the starting tight end next season, he'll still have some fantasy football intrigue. If quarterback Will Levis takes a leap in year two, all of the Titans pass-catchers could receive value boosts.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo failed to deliver as a popular streaming option last week against the Houston Texans. Despite the favorable matchup, he caught just three passes for 34 yards. In the Week 18 season finale, he'll face the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy tight ends. Ultimately, Tennessee's passing offense is tough to trust whether Ryan Tannehill or Will Levis (foot) is under center, so Okonkwo is not worth rolling the dice on in fantasy leagues or DFS contests.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo caught three of his four targets for 34 yards in the Week 17 loss to the Houston Texans. Okonkwo was a popular streaming option this week due to the favorable matchup, but he ultimately did not deliver. He's set to face the Jacksonville Jaguars next week and should go back to the bench or waiver wire, especially if Ryan Tannehill starts in place of an injured Will Levis (foot).
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo had his best performance of the season last week against the Seattle Seahawks, hauling in six of his seven targets for 63 yards and a touchdown. He has now seen at least five targets in four of his last five games. In Week 17, he'll face a Houston Texans defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position this year. Whether Ryan Tannehill or Will Levis (ankle) starts for Tennessee, Okonkwo is a solid fantasy option for tight ends, at least in deep leagues. Don't start him over obvious studs, but he's a top streaming option in the final week of the fantasy football season.
Chigoziem Okonkwo Leads Titans In Receiving, Finds End Zone In Loss
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo caught all six of his targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It was easily Okonkwo's best game of the season, and he paid off for any deep-league fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him. That said, he remains off the fantasy radar in a Week 17 matchup with the Houston Texans due to his overall body of work in 2023.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo saw at least five targets in three games from Week 12 to Week 14, but he earned just three targets in Week 15 against the Houston Texans. The second-year pro has not established himself on the fantasy radar this season, meaning there's no reason to start him against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16. To make things trickier, there's a good chance Ryan Tannehill will start for the injured Will Levis (ankle) on Sunday. With Tannehill under center, the ceilings of all Titans' pass-catchers are lowered.
Chigoziem Okonkwo Secures Three Receptions In Week 15
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in the Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans. It was his lowest yardage total since Week 11, so he delivered a disappointing fantasy performance for anyone who rolled the dice on him as a streamer. Although the Seattle Seahawks have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this year, Okonkwo should remain on the bench next week in that matchup.
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has posted at least 45 receiving yards in each of his last three games, which is a positive sign compared to his early-season production. The second-year tight end hasn't made a big fantasy impact this year, but he is second to only DeAndre Hopkins in total targets among Titans' pass-catchers. Since Week 12, he has the 11th-most total PPR fantasy points among tight ends. Since the Houston Texans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position this year, Okonkwo has streaming value and a mid-range TE2 outlook.
Chigoziem Okonkwo Catches Five Passes On Monday Night
Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo caught five of his six targets for 46 yards in the Week 14 Monday Night Football win over the Miami Dolphins. After a brutal start to the season, Okonkwo has now seen at least five targets and posted no fewer than 45 receiving yards in each of his last three games. Although he's still not a great fantasy option moving forward, he has deep-league appeal against the Houston Texans next week. Houston has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season. The Titans' passing offense has a higher ceiling under rookie Will Levis, though they've still had plenty of down weeks.
