Chig Okonkwo News
Friday, September 25, 4:00 PM
The Washington Commanders ruled out tight end Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) for the second straight game in their Week 3 contest this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. A hamstring injury that Okonkwo suffered in the season-opening loss to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles has not allowed him to practice since. With Okonkwo sidelined this past weekend in the loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff combined for two catches and 20 yards at the TE position, with John Bates not catching a single pass. Quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) is likely set to miss multiple weeks after dislocating his left elbow in Week 2, so the Commanders' offense will be run by veteran Marcus Mariota on Sunday against a top-tier Seattle defense. Fantasy managers should not be going anywhere near the Commanders' TE room this weekend or for the foreseeable future. Okonkwo came into the 2026 season as a potential sleeper at the position, but it has not worked out so far.

Colston Loveland News
Saturday, September 26, 2:23 PM
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland falls in the fantasy ranks ahead of a Monday night matchup against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. A projected top option at the position heading into the year, Loveland's production has cratered compared with his late-season run in 2025. In two appearances, the 22-year-old has just one catch and three receiving yards on a paltry five targets. It's an enormous disappointment, to say the least, and the immediate road ahead doesn't look any brighter. Aside from quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) likely out for a few weeks - muddying the offense's potential - Chicago's passing attack will get a stiff test in Week 3 against an Eagles' defense allowing only 166 yards per game. Loveland remains a fringe top asset at the position, but a downgrade at QB and another tough task in Philly's D make him markedly less stable. The Michigan alum tumbles to RotoBaller's PPR TE12 ahead of Week 3.
