Who Should I Start? Chig Okonkwo or Josh Downs

Friday, October 24, 9:58 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo is hopeful for a bounce back game after posting a dud last week. In Week 7, Okonkwo gave fantasy managers nothing as he failed to haul in either of his targets in the loss to the New England Patriots. Before that, Okonkwo hauled in six receptions against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. That being said, this game could've been a fluke, but Okonkwo hasn't been a great option regardless. At best, Okonkwo should be viewed as a TE2 for the upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs missed his team's Week 7 contest after suffering a concussion following Week 6's win over the Arizona Cardinals. Downs practiced fully on Thursday and Friday heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Tennessee Titans and is listed without an injury designation. Downs' return crowds the Indy receiver room as Michael Pittman Jr. has been dominant in the red zone and Alec Pierce has also carved out a sizeable role for the team. Downs can't be counted on as a PPR cheat code as he was in past seasons, but he will remain a decent, high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy option in Week 8. He sets up as a solid WR4 with six NFL teams on bye this week.
