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
Friday, September 25, 6:48 AM
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland has arguably been the biggest disappointment in fantasy football through the first two weeks of the 2026 NFL season. Widely viewed as a Year 2 breakout candidate, Loveland has opened the year with just one catch for three yards through his first two games. The Bears dropped 59 points back in Week 1, and Loveland finished that contest with zero receptions. It hasn't been for a lack of playing time, as the 22-year-old has played at least 86% of the snaps in each of his two games so far. Unfortunately for Loveland's fantasy managers, there may be no resolution in sight. Starting quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent (concussion) are both expected to miss Week 3, leaving third-stringer Case Keenum in line to start. If Loveland couldn't carve out a role with Williams as his quarterback, we're not very optimistic about his outlook with Keenum under center. He will continue to rank outside the top 12 fantasy tight ends until he can string together a couple of strong outings.
