Who Should I Start? Chig Okonkwo or Terrance Ferguson

Tuesday, November 18, 6:50 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo led the Titans with 56 receiving yards on three catches (three targets) in last week's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans. It came in a game in which receivers Calvin Ridley (leg), Chimere Dike (chest), and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were all injured. Ridley broke his fibula and will miss the rest of the year, a significant development for the Titans' offense the rest of the way. It's unclear if Dike's and Ayomanor's injuries are serious enough to force them to miss time, but even if they can play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks, Okonkwo and rookie tight end Gunnar Helm should have higher fantasy ceilings. Okonkwo's 56 yards on Sunday were his highest total since Week 3, and he now has multiple catches in three straight games. It's hard to put too much trust in anyone in Tennessee's offense this year, but with Ridley done for the year, it makes Okonkwo a little more intriguing as a TE2 streamer in fantasy leagues. He's rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson continues to gradually handle an increased workload. The rookie has 10 targets over his last three games, handling at least 30 percent of the offensive snaps in each of those contests. He has primarily operated as a big-play threat, catching four passes for 117 yards during that span (29.3 yards per catch). While Tyler Higbee has remained Los Angeles' most-utilized tight end, Ferguson is not far behind. He appears to be the Rams' tight end of the future, and his receiving skills are among the best in this year's class of rookie tight ends. He's not startable in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he should be stashed in all dynasty leagues.
