Chig Okonkwo A Borderline TE1/TE2 Option in Week 9 Against Rams

Friday, November 6, 8:32 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo profiles as a borderline TE1/TE2 option this week against the Rams, with Treylon Burks (foot) ruled out and Terry McLaurin (knee) out for the season. Okonkwo has caught multiple passes in every game this season, and since Jayden Daniels returned in Week 5, Okonkwo ranks 2nd among tight ends in yards per target (10,7) and first in explosive catch rate (30.8%), per Fantasy Points Data. The 27-year-old is still inconsistent for fantasy but should remain involved in Week 9 against the Rams. However, production could be tough to come by, as the Rams' defense ranks in the top eight in fantasy points allowed to tight ends, including holding superstars Brock Bowers and Trey McBride below their season average in yards per game. Okonkwo ranks as RotoBaller's TE18 for Week 9.

Terrance Ferguson Out "Another Couple Weeks" After Injuring Hamstring

Sunday, November 8, 12:26 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle, hamstring) is expected to miss "another couple weeks," head coach Sean McVay told Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Ferguson, who has been on injured reserve, was expected to be activated for this week's game against the Commanders, but he was downgraded to out after he pulled his hamstring on Friday. The hamstring injury will keep Ferguson on the sideline while leaving Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson as the Rams' top tight ends. There is an important logistical factor tied to Ferguson's injury, as his practice window will close Nov. 25. Even if Ferguson isn't ready to play by Nov. 25, the Rams will have to activate him from IR if they plan for him to play again this season. Presumably, he'll take over as the No. 1 tight end in Los Angeles upon his returning, garnering some low-end TE1 appeal in redraft leagues.
