Who Should I Start? Chig Okonkwo or Josh Whyle

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo was highly regarded by the fantasy community heading into the season. However, the 26-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations through the first five games of the 2025 campaign, catching 17 passes for 172 yards while failing to find the end zone. To be fair, Cam Ward hasn't played the best, resulting in below-average showings from Okonkwo and Calvin Ridley, among others. With Tennessee looking for a second-straight win, the team will head to Las Vegas for a meeting with the Raiders in Week 6. Although Okonkwo has a better chance of doing something meaningful for managers versus the struggling Raiders, his lack of production makes him hard to trust, even in multi-TE setups.

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm was listed as the team's second tight end on the first unofficial depth chart, behind only Chig Okonkwo and ahead of Josh Whyle, who was the team's second tight end last year. The Titans drafted Helm out of Texas with the No. 120 pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft after he logged 60 catches for 786 yards and seven touchdowns in Texas's quick passing game. Helm had a bad combine, potentially due to injury, but he has earned playing time with a strong training camp and could become a favorite target for rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Helm and the Titans start preseason on Saturday in Tampa Bay, and it will be important to see exactly how the tight end work is divided going into Week 1 against the Broncos.
