Chig Okonkwo is Tough to Trust

Friday, October 3, 9:30 PM

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.

Cade Otton Remains Avoidable for Week 5

Friday, October 3, 5:26 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was able to make a small impact during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Otton hauled in three of his four targets for nine yards. Through four games, Otton has been held to six receptions for 34 yards and no touchdowns. He has played above 90 percent of the offensive snaps each of the last three games. Despite that, Otton doesn't appear to be a viable option in the receiving game right now. Both Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin figure to continue seeing a high volume of targets. Otton can continue to ride the bench until he starts making a consistent impact.
