Who Should I Start? Chig Okonkwo or Jake Ferguson

Friday, November 14, 11:02 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) is off the injury report heading into the Week 11 meeting with the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old was limited in practice throughout the week due to a foot injury, although it won't keep him off the field for Sunday's contest. Despite having plenty of preseason hype, Okonkwo has failed to meet expectations for fantasy managers. In nine games, he's amassed only 29 catches (39 targets) for 281 yards while failing to score a touchdown. Granted, Okonkwo still has more snaps than Gunnar Helm. However, Helm has at least found the end zone. All things considered, with Cam Ward under center, neither player has done enough to earn a spot in most fantasy lineups. Keep both benched against one of the top defenses in the National Football League.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a steady target for Dak Prescott all season. Ferguson has recorded at least five receptions in all but two games this year and continues to be one of the most reliable pass catchers in the Cowboys' offense. He's coming off a Week 9 performance where he posted five receptions for 50 yards against the Cardinals. This week, Ferguson and the Cowboys are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in what could turn into a shootout (49.5 total). The Raiders' defense has been mediocre against the pass, allowing around 214 passing yards per game, which ranks 16th in the NFL. With a high implied scoring total, Dallas should be able to put points on the board, giving Ferguson plenty of opportunities in the passing game. RotoBaller currently has Ferguson ranked as the TE5 for Week 11.
