Who Should I Start? Chig Okonkwo or Tucker Kraft

Saturday, September 27, 12:32 AM

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.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has recorded 11 catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets through three games so far in 2025. The third-year tight end could be well set up for success in Week 4, as he'll face a Dallas Cowboys' defense that has been one of the worst in the NFL this season. Dallas ranks last in the NFL in yards allowed per pass attempt (9.8) and has allowed the second-most passing touchdowns in the league (seven). Kraft is currently the lead target-earner on the Packers. If Green Bay does have success through the air on Sunday, it could mean a huge game for Kraft. He profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end in Week 4 against the Cowboys.
