Chigoziem Okonkwo Has Just One Catch In Week 4

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo recorded one catch for five yards in the team's win over the Dolphins on Monday night. With quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) exiting early, Okonkwo was not a factor, seeing just three targets in the game as the Titans relied heavily on the running game. The three targets were actually a season-high for the tight end, who has not become a big part of the Titans' offense yet. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for options at the position, and Okonkwo can be left on the waiver wire.

Chigoziem Okonkwo Still Not A Great Option Against Jets

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo will play the New York Jets this Sunday in Week 2. The third-year player started off his 2024 campaign with a bang, snagging a picturesque 17-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Will Levis against Chicago. However his only other reception in the game went for -2 yards, as the Titans passing attack was shut down for much of the contest. While he was able to get into the end zone, it's still not advisable to play Okonkwo given that he is still at very best the #3 option in a bad passing offense, and facing a more than formidable defense in Week 2.

Chigoziem Okonkwo Catches Touchdown In Loss To Bears

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo caught both his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Chicago. Quarterback Will Levis could not get the passing game going most of the game, which led to down weeks for all Titans' pass catchers. Okonkwo was able to bail out fantasy managers with his touchdown grab, an incredibly impressive catch in the back right corner of the end zone over a defender. It was a tough day for the position overall, as Oknkwo finished as TE6 on the week heading into the Monday night game with only 9.5 PPR points. While he had a fine fantasy day because of the score, playing Okonkwo on a weekly basis is still not recommended if this passing attack can't improve considerably from Week 1. Okonkwo and the Titans offense will have their work cut out for them when the Jets travel to Nashville next week.

Chigoziem Okonkwo Not On Fantasy Radar For Week 1

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo takes on the Chicago Bears in an NFL opening weekend matchup. The former fourth-round pick was a popular breakout candidate last season, and while that didn't pan out due to the ineffectiveness of Ryan Tannehill at QB, Okonkwo was much more productive when Levis took over as the starting quarterback. There's some post-hype sleeper vibes around Okonkwo heading into year three, but he is still at best the fourth target in this offense behind Ridley, Hopkins, and Pollard/Spears at the moment. Okonkwo could jump up a spot in that pecking order if Hopkins is unable to go - currently questionable with an MCL tear - but it's still a risky play even if he gets a couple of extra targets this week. Chig is better left on fantasy benches in Week 1.

Chigoziem Okonkwo, Josh Whyle Listed As Co-Starters

The Tennessee Titans listed an offense with a two-tight end set on their depth chart last year. This year, they listed one tight end in the starting lineup on the first unofficial depth chart of the preseason, and it's split between Chigoziem Okonkwo and Josh Whyle. Fantasy managers should never read too much into unofficial depth charts, especially this early in the preseason, but it's not a great sign for Okonkwo. Tennessee's offense is expected to be more pass-happy under new head coach Brian Callahan, but the 24-year-old Okonkwo will have plenty of competition for targets after the team added wideouts Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd in the offseason. The former fourth-round selection in 2022 out of Maryland caught 54 passes for 528 yards and only one touchdown in 17 games in 2023 in his second year in the league. For now, he's merely a low-end TE2 target in deeper fantasy leagues.

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.

Chigoziem Okonkwo Catches Two Passes In Win

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.

Chigoziem Okonkwo A Weak Streamer Against Jaguars

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.

Chigoziem Okonkwo Snags Three Passes In Week 17

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).

Chigoziem Okonkwo A Sneaky Week 17 Fantasy Option

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.
