Chig Okonkwo News
Wednesday, June 10, 9:34 AM
Washington Commanders new tight end Chig Okonkwo has been impressive so far this offseason after signing a three-year deal in March in free agency, according to The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala. Okonkwo possesses rare speed and versatility, and he also has a knack for picking up yards after the catch. Zach Ertz is now gone, so the Commanders will move forward with Okonkwo and Ben Sinnott in offensive coordinator David Blough's scheme. Jhabvala writes that Blough's offense will be an "amalgamation of his own football influences," which means that the Commanders could use a "heavy dose of multiple tight end sets" in 2026. The 26-year-old Okonkwo had a career-high 56 receptions for 560 yards on 79 targets in 2025 with the Tennessee Titans, but he had only two touchdowns and averaged 10 yards per catch in 17 games (12 starts). In D.C., he'll have more upside, although fantasy managers can wait and take him late in drafts as a TE2 with upside in his new digs. RotoBaller currently has Okonkwo ranked as the No. 20 fantasy TE for the upcoming season.

Dalton Kincaid News
Friday, June 12, 6:25 AM
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had one of his most efficient seasons in 2025, recording 39 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns on just 49 targets. However, hamstring, oblique, and lingering knee injuries limited him to just 12 games. Kincaid has now missed nine contests over the past two seasons. Even when active, the Bills have limited his snap counts: In 2025, Kincaid played fewer than 50% of his team's offensive snaps in every game following Week 5. Entering 2026, Kincaid is reportedly fully healthy and feeling as good as he's felt since entering the NFL. If he can maintain his efficiency while shouldering a larger workload, Kincaid could finally emerge as a high-impact fantasy tight end. Still, the 26-year-old's extensive injury track record and his usage in Buffalo to this point in his career are red flags. Kincaid profiles as a high-risk, high-reward buy-low candidate for dynasty managers.
