Chig Okonkwo is Tough to Trust

Friday, October 3, 9:30 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo posted a dud during last week's loss to the Houston Texans. He hauled in one of his three targets for four yards in the blowout defeat. This was a frustrating performance after Okonkwo hauled in five receptions for 66 yards in Week 3. The 26-year-old is still building chemistry with quarterback Cam Ward early in the season. This whole offensive unit has been struggling early in the season. The hope is that Okonkwo bounces back during the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. He shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a TE2.

Xavier Legette News

Xavier Legette has Shaky Value

Friday, October 3, 6:34 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) is back in action for the Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Legette will return this weekend after a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The targets have been there for Legette, but the 24-year-old has been unable to make an impact. Through two games, Legette has hauled in four of his 15 targets for eight yards this season. The Panthers offense isn't having much success right now. Legette clearly needs to build more chemistry with quarterback Bryce Young. Legette is worth a stash in certain formats, but isn't worth a start for Week 5.
