Chig Okonkwo in TE2 Territory for Week 4 Return Against Colts

Saturday, October 3, 8:19 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo will make his return in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury. Okonkwo played 55.7% of the snaps and caught two of three targets for 16 yards before exiting. The 27-year-old tight end could serve as Washington's No. 2 target in the passing game behind Stefon Diggs with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) not expected to play. Okonkwo could be in line for a productive day against a Colts defense that has allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game (10.8) and the fifth most receptions (20) to opposing tight ends so far this season. Okonkwo ranks as RotoBaller's TE25 in PPR formats for Week 4.

Isaiah Likely Looking to Bounce Back Against Cardinals

Saturday, October 3, 6:46 AM

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely is looking to bounce back after a down game in Week 3. He caught just two of five targets for 13 yards in the 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. In two games with backup quarterback Jameis Winston, Likely has caught just seven of 15 targets for 46 yards, averaging just 4.1 half-PPR fantasy points per game. On a positive note, Likely's usage has improved significantly from his Week 1 role, with 77% of snaps and 85% of routes over the last two weeks. He also faces an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season, including a monster performance against 49ers star tight end George Kittle in Week 3. While his struggles with Winston could pose a threat to his Week 4 outlook, Likely should be considered a low-end TE1 against a weaker Cardinals secondary.
