Chig Okonkwo A Solid TE Option in Week 10 Against Giants

Wednesday, November 11, 1:36 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo is leading the team in targets (22), catches (19), and yards (219) since quarterback Jayden Daniels returned in Week 5. The 27-year-old tight end is currently in the midst of the best four-game stretch of his career by receiving yards. In addition, over the past three weeks, Okonkwo's 79.5% route share ranks fifth-highest among all tight ends in that span, trailing only George Kittle, Isaiah Likely, Trey McBride, and Brock Bowers. Okonkwo's role in Washington's offense looks to be trending up, though the lack of touchdowns has held down his fantasy ceiling. Okonkwo has a tough matchup on Thursday night against a Giants defense that has allowed the third-fewest receiving yards to tight ends this season. For Week 10, Okonkwo ranks as RotoBaller's TE14.

Colston Loveland's Volume Cools Off in Final Game Before Bye Week

Sunday, November 8, 8:40 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland caught four of his six targets for 54 yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Loveland played 86% of the snaps, and he came just six yards shy of extending his streak of double-digit fantasy points (PPR) to four games. Even though he didn't quite hit that benchmark, most fantasy managers will be okay with Loveland's performance. It's a whole lot better than how he was performing at the start of the year, and he should have no trouble bouncing back as a mid-range TE1 when the Bears return to action on the other side of their bye against the Lions in Week 11. There's also an outside chance that he could be headed for a larger target share if wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) is unable to clear concussion protocol by the time the Bears step back on the field two weeks from now.
