Chig Okonkwo in TE2 Territory for Week 4 Return Against Colts

Saturday, October 3, 8:19 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo will make his return in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury. Okonkwo played 55.7% of the snaps and caught two of three targets for 16 yards before exiting. The 27-year-old tight end could serve as Washington's No. 2 target in the passing game behind Stefon Diggs with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) not expected to play. Okonkwo could be in line for a productive day against a Colts defense that has allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game (10.8) and the fifth most receptions (20) to opposing tight ends so far this season. Okonkwo ranks as RotoBaller's TE25 in PPR formats for Week 4.

Tucker Kraft Still in Search of a Return to Form

Thursday, October 1, 9:13 AM

After opening the season with a three-catch, 65-yard performance that was good enough to make him the TE16 on the week, Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has turned in back-to-back quiet outings, and he has fallen to TE32 for the year. After an ACL tear ended his breakout 2025 campaign, Kraft came into the season with rumblings of a pitch count, but he has shown no signs of limitation in handling a 79% snap share and ranking ninth among tight ends with 17 targets. Unfortunately, his chemistry with quarterback Jordan Love has been lacking, with the two connecting on only 52.9% of those targets. Kraft's two drops in three games are already one shy of his total from a season ago, and while his 10.8 yards after catch helped make him a dominant force in 2025, that number has fallen to 5.6 yards per catch on a limited 2026 sample. While he will need to prove he still belongs in the weekly TE1 discussion, Kraft has a plus matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 4 and is RotoBaller's TE10.
