Who Should I Start? Chig Okonkwo or Chris Olave

Tuesday, November 18, 6:50 PM

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.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was able to come up huge for his team during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. His biggest play of the game was a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Olave would finish his day by hauling in five of his eight targets for 104 yards and one score in the victory. It appears the fourth-year wideout is building solid chemistry with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. This was a promising performance from Olave, as fantasy managers are hopeful for more big games like this from Olave going forward. Sadly, fantasy managers will have to wait until Week 12 as the Saints head into a bye week.
