TEN TE Chigoziem Okonkwo - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Seattle Seahawks
Chig Okonkwo caught all three of his targets for 36 scoreless yards in Week 15. Despite Okonkwo's intriguing athleticism, he has not broken 62 yards all season and only has four red zone targets on the year with no touchdowns. That sort of profile does not play in fantasy at the tight end position. The Seahawks are vulnerable over the middle of the field, but Okonkwo simply does not get enough consistent usage or high-value looks to warrant serious consideration as a fantasy starter. Keep him on benches or waivers in Week 16.

TEN TE Chigoziem Okonkwo - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Houston Texans
Chig Okonkwo's six targets in Week 14 matched his season-best, and he set a new season-high with 62 receiving yards to notch a finish as the week's TE9. That being said, Okonkwo still hasn't scored a touchdown this year and his 16% target share places him well behind DeAndre Hopkins in terms of usage regardless of who has been playing QB for the Titans. While Week 14 marked Okonkwo's best fantasy finish of the season, his 5.7 fantasy points per game leaves plenty to be desired especially in a season where we've had so many mid-tier TEs breakout to be viable fantasy options. While Okonkwo appears to be forming some chemistry with Will Levis, it would be best to look elsewhere for a starting TE this week.

TEN TE Chigoziem Okonkwo - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Miami Dolphins
Chigoziem Okonkwo logged a season-high 62 receiving yards in Week 13 and caught three of his six targets on the day. While the 62 yards is good to see, Okonkwo still has yet to finish as a TE1 in any week this season and still hasn't scored a single touchdown in 2023. A tight end who doesn't catch touchdowns is a tough sell in fantasy, and that's even when they don't play in one of the league's most run-heavy offenses. Okonkwo should see a couple additional targets this week just based on projected negative game script, but his production through 12 games is severely lacking and renders him nothing more than a TE2 for fantasy.

TEN TE Chigoziem Okonkwo - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Indianapolis Colts
Chigoziem Okonkwo continues to hover on the fringe of fantasy relevancy. He saw five targets in Week 12 and caught four of them for 45 scoreless yards. That being said, Okonkwo has yet to produce a TE1 performance in any week this season, and he has had varying snap shares throughout the year (although that has been trending down recently, including only 34% in Week 11). Okonkwo has yet to score a touchdown this year, and his inconsistent usage makes him impossible to trust as a fantasy starter.

TEN TE Chigoziem Okonkwo - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Jacksonville Jaguars
Even with Will Levis taking over under center, Chigoziem Okonkwo has seen just 14 targets over the last three games and has yet to exceed 35 receiving yards in any game this season. The Titans remain a run-heavy team and DeAndre Hopkins is the clear-cut top option in the passing game, leaving little production left over for players like Okonkwo. The Jaguars are a middling matchup for opposing tight ends, but Okonkwo just does not see enough targets to justify serious consideration as a TE1. Okonkwo also has yet to score a touchdown on the year, which only solidifies his position as a dynasty stash only.

TEN TE Chigoziem Okonkwo - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chigoziem Okonkwo caught three passes for 28 yards last week against the Steelers. He has yet to find the end zone this season, nor has he eclipsed 40 yards in any game. While it’s encouraging to see him get nine targets in two games with Will Levis at quarterback, until we see fantasy production from the second-year former Terrapin, fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire.

TEN TE Chigoziem Okonkwo - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Pittsburgh Steelers
Chigoziem Okonkwo saw a season-high six targets with rookie Will Levis under center in Week 8, but only turned that into four catches for 23 yards. Okonkwo also committed a drop on a play where he got separation down the seam for what would have been a big gain. The early returns on Levis are positive, which would be a big development in Okonkwo's fantasy projections rest of season. The Steelers' defense is vulnerable to opposing passing games but less so to opposing tight ends, where they rank fifth in fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed. Okonkwo would stand to benefit if Levis turns out to be a legitimate starting QB, but he is still tough to trust as a fantasy starter until we see more consistency.
