Chig Okonkwo Questionable to Return Against Eagles in Week 1

Sunday, September 13, 3:17 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. He suffered the injury during the third quarter. At the time of his departure, he had caught just two of three targets for 16 yards. Okonkwo was signed during the offseason to be the Commanders' No. 1 tight end, and while there was decent upside behind the move, he also entered this season with a relatively low floor. After all, he never finished higher than TE21 in his three years with the Tennessee Titans. We're still optimistic that Okonkwo can have top-18 upside once he's cleared to return to action. In the meantime, John Bates will step up as the Commanders' top tight end.

Isaiah Likely Shines With Two Touchdowns Against Cowboys

Monday, September 14, 6:43 AM

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely hauled in all eight targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Likely was the team's leading receiver throughout training camp, and he lived up to the hype in Week 1. Of his eight catches, four came on third down. Despite playing only 49% of the snaps in Week 1, he looks primed for a key role in the passing game this season. With quarterback Jaxson Dart and the Giants offense looking sharp in Week 1, Likely should continue to see valuable opportunities in the passing game. He faces the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, where Likely should be considered a mid-TE1 despite the limited snap share.
