Who Should I Start? Chig Okonkwo or Mason Taylor

Monday, November 3, 7:26 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught two passes for 10 yards on two targets in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Okonkwo was active despite being limited in practice with a foot injury most of the week. The 26-year-old has fallen short of three targets on two occasions over the last three weeks. On Sunday, Okonkwo was limited to five yards per reception, the third-lowest this season. Okonkwo has only finished as a top-eight tight end once through the first nine weeks and still hasn't scored a touchdown this year. The Titans are heading into a crucial bye week that could lead to changes aimed at improving their offense. Managers should consider benching Okonkwo after the bye week, when the Titans host the Houston Texans in Week 11.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor is ready to go for this Sunday's meeting with the visiting Cleveland Browns after a full week of practice. The 21-year-old headed into the team's bye week battling a quad issue, but he's all healed up for a clash with a staunch Browns' defense in Week 10. Taylor has dealt with inconsistencies this season, but has drawn a ton of targets in a Jets' offense bereft of weaponry. The addition of former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is sure to draw some looks away from the LSU product. However, the two figure to operate in different areas of the field, and it's unclear if Mitchell will play this weekend. Cleveland isn't a very friendly matchup in any aspect, although they've been more forgiving to tight ends over recent weeks. Either way, Taylor should work as a top two option, whether it's quarterback Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields calling signals. The rookie is RotoBaller's PPR TE21 for his outing with Cleveland.
