Chig Okonkwo News
Tuesday, August 25, 8:38 PM
Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo should benefit from a change of scenery ahead of the 2026 season. The Maryland product spent the last four seasons in Tennessee, finishing each of the four years between TE21 and TE25 in PPR leagues. That level of consistency became the norm for Okonkwo in Tennessee, but it never resulted in a true breakout. Instead, he was frequently a mid-range TE2 in fantasy football, with his best stats coming in 2025 when he caught 56 passes for 560 yards and two touchdowns. We could be looking at a similar situation to when Washington brought in veteran Zach Ertz, fueling his career resurgence. Ertz was the overall TE7 with 654 yards and seven touchdowns as the Commanders' primary tight end in 2024, and while Okonkwo's leap might not be quite that large, he still has clear top-12 upside in fantasy football, especially if quarterback Jayden Daniels can stay healthy for a full season. He's a very appealing late-round target for fantasy managers who want to roster two tight ends in 2026.

Dalton Kincaid News
Friday, August 21, 6:59 PM
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's "health, summer usage, and ability are all trending towards an enhanced role in 2026," per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Kincaid was a productive player on a per-target basis in 2025, recording 39 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets across 12 games. However, the 26-year-old has missed nine games due to injuries over the past two seasons. The Bills also limited his usage in games where he was active in 2025, as Kincaid played fewer than 50% of his team's offensive snaps in 11 out of 14 contests (including the playoffs) last season. However, Buscaglia reports that Kincaid was one of the stars of Buffalo's joint practice session with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday, and that Kincaid's production has stood out all summer long. If Kincaid can finally put together a fully healthy year, he could be on the verge of a long-awaited breakout season for fantasy managers.
