Chig Okonkwo Might Not Have the Counting Stats, But the YAC Can Make Him a Dangerous Weapon

The Commanders, desperately in need of players to catch passes from (hopefully) Jayden Daniels in 2026, added former Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo in free agency. The former Maryland Terrapin signed a three-year pact with the Commanders. But does this change of scenery make Okonkwo an attractive fantasy proposition in 2026?

The Story So Far

After the Titans spent a fourth-round pick on Okonkwo in the 2022 NFL Draft, he has caught 194 of his 272 targets for 2,021 yards. He found the end zone eight times in this span. He ranks 18th, 18th, 17th, and 33rd among all TEs in those categories, which have led to his ranking as the overall TE20 in PPR formats. These numbers are not in any way impressive, but some allowance must be given to the state of the offense he was playing in. In his career, the Titans ranked 26th in pass attempts, 30th in passing yards, and 28th in yards per attempt. Their 68 passing touchdowns are tied for dead last since 2022.

Harold Fannin’s Historic Rookie Season Was a Lone Bright Spot for the Browns, But Can He Build On His Success in Year 2?

Neil Dutton March 16, 2026

The 2025 NFL season is not one that many people linked to the Cleveland Browns will remember fondly. Well, maybe Myles Garrett, who set a new single-season mark for sacks, after all.

What Became of the Likely Lad? Isaiah Likely Lands With the Giants

Neil Dutton March 13, 2026

As soon as the Baltimore Ravens surprisingly signed tight end Mark Andrews to a contract extension during the 2025 season, it was more likely than not that Isaiah Likely would be out the door in free agency. This came to pass, with the former Coastal Carolina TE signing a three-year pact with the New York Giants. Ironically, this move reunites him with head coach John Harbaugh,…...
