Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) finds himself on the injury report yet again in Week 13, and he was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. Okonkwo shouldn't have any problem playing through his foot injury this weekend against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars unless he suffers a setback in practice on Thursday or Friday. The 26-year-old is still looking for his first touchdown of the 2025 season and has not had much fantasy upside in one of the worst offenses in football while sharing targets with rookie TE Gunnar Helm. Okonkwo has gone over 50 receiving yards in a game this year just three times in 11 games, although two of those instances have come in the last four games. Okonkwo will have less appeal as a TE2 streamer in fantasy football in Week 13 if rookie receiver Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is able to return.

Across 11 games this season, Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo has recorded 35 receptions for 377 yards on 46 targets. While Okonkwo's numbers don't jump off the page, the one thing he has provided is a stable floor. The 26-year-old has recorded at least three catches and 35 receiving yards in seven out of 11 outings, including at least 40 receiving yards in three out of his last four games. Okonkwo and rookie Gunnar Helm are splitting tight end reps in Tennessee, but Okonkwo has played at least 60% of the Titans' offensive snaps in every game but one so far this season. Okonkwo's upside is capped by the playing time split and Tennessee's team-wide offensive struggles. However, he could have some appeal as a deep-league streaming option for fantasy managers heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Through 10 games this season, Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) has recorded 32 catches for 337 yards on 42 targets. Okonkwo was limited in practice by a foot injury this week, but he is off the injury report and will be active for Tennessee's Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Titans will be without wide receivers Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (leg) against Seattle, which could open up more target opportunities for Okonkwo. However, Okonkwo has failed to play more than 68% of his team's offensive snaps in any game since Week 4 as he splits reps with rookie tight end Gunnar Helm, limiting the upside for both players. Additionally, the Seahawks have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL. Through 11 weeks, Seattle is allowing the third-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.2) in the league. Even with the potential for an increased target share, Okonkwo remains tough for fantasy managers to trust as a starting tight end option in Week 12.
Nov 22, 2025 12:43 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. He continues to manage a foot issue that limited him during practice last week. However, Okonkwo still played during last week's game against the Houston Texans. He hauled in all three of his targets for 56 yards in the loss. He figures to be fine for Week 12, but Gunnar Helm would see an expanded role if Okonkwo was unable to play against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend.
Nov 19, 2025 8:56 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo led the Titans with 56 receiving yards on three catches (three targets) in last week's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans. It came in a game in which receivers Calvin Ridley (leg), Chimere Dike (chest), and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were all injured. Ridley broke his fibula and will miss the rest of the year, a significant development for the Titans' offense the rest of the way. It's unclear if Dike's and Ayomanor's injuries are serious enough to force them to miss time, but even if they can play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks, Okonkwo and rookie tight end Gunnar Helm should have higher fantasy ceilings. Okonkwo's 56 yards on Sunday were his highest total since Week 3, and he now has multiple catches in three straight games. It's hard to put too much trust in anyone in Tennessee's offense this year, but with Ridley done for the year, it makes Okonkwo a little more intriguing as a TE2 streamer in fantasy leagues. He's rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues.
Nov 18, 2025 6:50 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught three passes for a team-high 56 yards on three targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Okonkwo was able to play through a foot injury on Sunday that had limited his participation in practice all week leading up to the game. The 26-year-old had his best fantasy performance since Week 8 and had a season high in yards per target. Despite seeing targets further down the field, Okonkwo was unable to find the end zone and is still looking for his first touchdown this season. Okonkwo has only finished as a top-eight tight end once through the first 11 weeks and remains an unreliable option for fantasy managers. Heading into Week 12, Okonkwo should be viewed as a low-end TE2 against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense.
Nov 17, 2025 10:26 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) is off the injury report heading into the Week 11 meeting with the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old was limited in practice throughout the week due to a foot injury, although it won't keep him off the field for Sunday's contest. Despite having plenty of preseason hype, Okonkwo has failed to meet expectations for fantasy managers. In nine games, he's amassed only 29 catches (39 targets) for 281 yards while failing to score a touchdown. Granted, Okonkwo still has more snaps than Gunnar Helm. However, Helm has at least found the end zone. All things considered, with Cam Ward under center, neither player has done enough to earn a spot in most fantasy lineups. Keep both benched against one of the top defenses in the National Football League.
Nov 14, 2025 11:02 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo has had a quiet season through nine games, catching 29 of 39 targets for 281 yards with no touchdowns. Okonkwo ranks as just the TE33 with 6.3 PPR points per game, as the Titans' offensive situation has been bleak for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old is just barely averaging a career high in receiving yards per game (31.2) and tied for the highest receptions per game (3.2). Okonkwo has also been gradually losing snaps to rookie tight end Gunnar Helm over the course of the season. After running more than 70% of the team's routes in the first two weeks of the season, Okonkwo hasn't had a route share above 60% in a game since. Helm hasn't surpassed him in any game yet, but he's stayed involved and has some real ability as a receiver and could get more involved out of the bye week. Okonkwo will remain off fantasy radars for Week 11 against the Texans.
Nov 12, 2025 12:53 AM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught two passes for 10 yards on two targets in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Okonkwo was active despite being limited in practice with a foot injury most of the week. The 26-year-old has fallen short of three targets on two occasions over the last three weeks. On Sunday, Okonkwo was limited to five yards per reception, the third-lowest this season. Okonkwo has only finished as a top-eight tight end once through the first nine weeks and still hasn't scored a touchdown this year. The Titans are heading into a crucial bye week that could lead to changes aimed at improving their offense. Managers should consider benching Okonkwo after the bye week, when the Titans host the Houston Texans in Week 11.
Nov 3, 2025 7:26 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Okonkwo was limited to start the week before sitting out of practice on Thursday. Despite that, Okonkwo returned as a full participant on Friday and has been cleared to play this weekend. The 26-year-old has been quiet most weeks and continues to split up the snaps with Gunnar Helm. That being said, Okonkwo isn't an ideal streaming option and at best offers TE2 value.
Oct 31, 2025 9:20 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) was able to return to the practice field on Friday, giving him a chance to play this Sunday when the team takes on the visiting Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Okonkwo was limited in Wednesday's practice with his foot injury, but he was then downgraded to out on Thursday, raising questions about his availability this weekend. It's unclear what the 26-year-old's official status is for Week 9, but he's likely to be questionable to play. If Okonkwo is out or limited at all against the Bolts, it would open the door for rookie Gunnar Helm to be a legitimate streaming option for fantasy managers at the tight end position. Okonkwo has 27 catches on the year for 271 yards and no touchdowns, which has made him a low-end TE2 option, at best.
Oct 31, 2025 1:53 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) was not spotted at Thursday's practice, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Okonkwo was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, so this would represent a mid-week downgrade if the 26-year-old officially picks up a DNP tag on Thursday's final injury report. His status for this Sunday's Week 9 contest against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers is now up in the air. If Okonkwo doesn't get cleared to suit up this weekend, rookie Gunnar Helm would be on the streaming radar at TE for fantasy managers. Okonkwo leads Tennessee's tight ends this year with 27 receptions and 270 yards, but he has yet to find the end zone in eight games played. Meanwhile, Helm has been impressive in his first year with 19 catches on 24 targets for 172 yards and one score.
Oct 30, 2025 3:56 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) was listed as a limited participant following Wednesday's practice. The 26-year-old has been a steady target for Cameron Ward this season, so his absence would hurt the passing game. Okonkwo has at least four catches in five of eight contests this year, ranking as the overall TE24 in PPR leagues. He should continue to rank as a fringe top-24 fantasy tight end against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9, assuming he's active. Managers should monitor his status over the next two days of practice. If he can't suit up, we would expect more volume for Gunnar Helm, who had 23 yards and a touchdown last Sunday.
Oct 29, 2025 10:23 PM EST
Tennessee tight end Chig Okonkwo has been named among a list of Titans players that could be made available to trade. Having fired their head coach two weeks ago and recently dealing away cornerbacks Jason Brownlee and Roger McCreary, the team is clearly making moves for the future. With the emergence of rookie tight end Gunnar Helm, the 26-year-old Okonkwo is apparently no longer viewed as part of that future. A fourth-round draft pick in 2022, Okonkwo has topped 50 receptions in each of the last two seasons and is currently on pace for a career-high 57 catches. Currently playing on the final year of his rookie deal, he's the type of sensible depth piece that could help contribute to a deep playoff run.
Oct 27, 2025 2:29 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo is hopeful for a bounce back game after posting a dud last week. In Week 7, Okonkwo gave fantasy managers nothing as he failed to haul in either of his targets in the loss to the New England Patriots. Before that, Okonkwo hauled in six receptions against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. That being said, this game could've been a fluke, but Okonkwo hasn't been a great option regardless. At best, Okonkwo should be viewed as a TE2 for the upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Oct 24, 2025 9:58 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo has quietly emerged as one of quarterback Cameron Ward's favorite targets, which should benefit him as he looks to maintain low-end fantasy relevance against the New England Patriots in Week 7. The 26-year-old has 10 catches for 94 yards over his last two games, and he ranks as the overall TE21 in scoring so far (PPR). The good news is that he has been a short-range outlet for Ward, but he can still contribute extra yards with his impressive YAC ability. We need to see a little more consistency from Okonkwo before confidently starting him. That could happen this week against the Patriots, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025.
Oct 18, 2025 9:25 AM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo was highly regarded by the fantasy community heading into the season. However, the 26-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations through the first five games of the 2025 campaign, catching 17 passes for 172 yards while failing to find the end zone. To be fair, Cam Ward hasn't played the best, resulting in below-average showings from Okonkwo and Calvin Ridley, among others. With Tennessee looking for a second-straight win, the team will head to Las Vegas for a meeting with the Raiders in Week 6. Although Okonkwo has a better chance of doing something meaningful for managers versus the struggling Raiders, his lack of production makes him hard to trust, even in multi-TE setups.
Oct 10, 2025 11:31 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo posted a dud during last week's loss to the Houston Texans. He hauled in one of his three targets for four yards in the blowout defeat. This was a frustrating performance after Okonkwo hauled in five receptions for 66 yards in Week 3. The 26-year-old is still building chemistry with quarterback Cam Ward early in the season. This whole offensive unit has been struggling early in the season. The hope is that Okonkwo bounces back during the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. He shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a TE2.
Oct 3, 2025 9:30 PM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo remains a consistent target for quarterback Cameron Ward heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans. Okonkwo has 12 targets and nine catches over his last two games, ranking as the overall TE9 in PPR leagues during that span. The Maryland product is both a reliable outlet for Ward and a strong candidate to pick up extra yards after the catch. He's less appealing around the goal line, as he hasn't scored a touchdown this season and has just six scores through 54 career games. Nevertheless, he has shown that he can have some low-end fantasy value even when he's not breaking into the end zone. That should remain the case this week against the Texans, who have ranked near the middle of the league with the 14th-most receptions and 13th-fewest fantasy points allowed to tight ends. Okonkwo is a top-18 fantasy tight end with top-12 upside.
Sep 27, 2025 12:32 AM EST
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo projects to carry TE2 value in a Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. While the former fourth-round pick has been deployed as their clear TE1 throughout the opening weeks, he has not produced much on the box score, catching just seven total passes. In Week 1, Okonkwo brought in three of his four targets for 19 yards. In Week 2, the tight end took a step forward, bringing in four of his six targets for 35 yards. Despite this, Okonkwo still saw fewer targets than top wideouts Calvin Ridley and Elic Ayomanour. Given that Okonkwo sits firmly as Cam Ward's No. 3 target in the passing attack, managers should view him as a TE2 in a Week 3 matchup against the Colts. Through two weeks, the Colts have allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing TEs.
