Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo remains a consistent target for quarterback Cameron Ward heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans. Okonkwo has 12 targets and nine catches over his last two games, ranking as the overall TE9 in PPR leagues during that span. The Maryland product is both a reliable outlet for Ward and a strong candidate to pick up extra yards after the catch. He's less appealing around the goal line, as he hasn't scored a touchdown this season and has just six scores through 54 career games. Nevertheless, he has shown that he can have some low-end fantasy value even when he's not breaking into the end zone. That should remain the case this week against the Texans, who have ranked near the middle of the league with the 14th-most receptions and 13th-fewest fantasy points allowed to tight ends. Okonkwo is a top-18 fantasy tight end with top-12 upside.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride isn't leaving the elite tier of his position any time soon. We have plenty of evidence that Kyler Murray loves throwing the ball his way. In fact, he's currently on pace to see 136 targets which would be the second-most of his career after getting 147 last year. Now, he sets his sights on the Seattle Seahawks in the Thursday Night game, who are currently ranked 31st against opposing tight ends. RotoBaller's projections have McBride sitting at 17.3 fantasy points in PPR formats by grabbing around seven receptions for about 70 yards. Once again, this goes without saying, that McBride should be in all lineups regardless of format.
Still trying to decide between Okonkwo and McBride? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Chig Okonkwo is projected to score 7.1 points this week while Trey McBride is projected to score 12.0 points.
