Chig Okonkwo News
Wednesday, June 10, 9:34 AM
Washington Commanders new tight end Chig Okonkwo has been impressive so far this offseason after signing a three-year deal in March in free agency, according to The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala. Okonkwo possesses rare speed and versatility, and he also has a knack for picking up yards after the catch. Zach Ertz is now gone, so the Commanders will move forward with Okonkwo and Ben Sinnott in offensive coordinator David Blough's scheme. Jhabvala writes that Blough's offense will be an "amalgamation of his own football influences," which means that the Commanders could use a "heavy dose of multiple tight end sets" in 2026. The 26-year-old Okonkwo had a career-high 56 receptions for 560 yards on 79 targets in 2025 with the Tennessee Titans, but he had only two touchdowns and averaged 10 yards per catch in 17 games (12 starts). In D.C., he'll have more upside, although fantasy managers can wait and take him late in drafts as a TE2 with upside in his new digs. RotoBaller currently has Okonkwo ranked as the No. 20 fantasy TE for the upcoming season.

Brock Bowers News
Tuesday, June 16, 8:46 AM
After earning first-team All-Pro recognition as a rookie in 2024, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) put together an underwhelming sophomore campaign in 2025. Across 12 games (eight starts), the 23-year-old recorded 64 catches for 680 yards and seven touchdowns on 86 targets. However, injury was a major part of the story for Bowers. He attempted to play through a PCL injury that he suffered in Week 1 for most of the year before the Raiders finally shut him down and put him on Injured Reserve towards the end of the year. Entering 2026, Bowers is expected to be back to full health. He also remains the clear number one option in a Raiders passing game that should be improved following the offseason additions of rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza and new head coach/play-caller Klint Kubiak. Bowers profiles as an obvious bounce-back candidate in dynasty formats and should be prioritized as a buy-low target in any league where his value may have taken a hit.
