Chig Okonkwo News
Saturday, October 17, 10:09 AM
Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo is coming off of his best game of the season in Week 5, catching four of his six targets for 60 yards. Okonkwo had an unfortunate runout to begin his tenure in Washington, leaving Week 1 early with a hamstring injury and then missing the first two games of his career. Then, after returning in Week 4, the 27-year-old tight end played the majority of the game with a third-string rookie seventh-round quarterback, limiting his production. Okonkwo seems to have a solid connection with star quarterback Jayden Daniels, but it will be tested against Fred Warner and the 49ers' defense on Monday night, which has allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points per game to opposing tight ends so far this season. Okonkwo projects as a mid-range TE2 for Week 6, ranking as RotoBaller's TE22.

Elijah Arroyo News
Monday, October 19, 10:40 AM
Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo (shoulder) is most likely headed to Injured Reserve with a shoulder injury that he suffered in last Thursday night's loss to the Denver Broncos, which would put him out for at least four weeks, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. As a result, the Seahawks have signed Josiah Deguara to add depth at the position behind AJ Barner. The 23-year-old was not on the fantasy football radar to begin with, given his small role on offense through the first six games of the 2026 season behind Barner. In six games, Arroyo has caught just one of his two targets for 17 yards. The former second-rounder in 2025 from Miami caught 15 passes on 26 targets for 179 yards and one touchdown in 13 regular-season games (four starts) last year as a rookie in Seattle. Arroyo's shoulder injury will definitely make Barner more interesting as a TE streamer in fantasy for at least the next four weeks.
