Who Should I Start? Chigoziem Okonkwo or Jake Ferguson

Sunday, January 5, 11:54 AM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (abdomen) is officially active for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday. Okonkwo popped up on this week's injury report after putting in a limited practice on Thursday before sitting out on Friday. The 25-year-old will end up giving it a go in the team's final game of the season. He's been on a decent run of production of late with 22 catches on 28 targets for 182 yards and no touchdowns in the last three games, although that also coincided with Mason Rudolph taking over under center for the Titans. Tennessee is going back to quarterback Will Levis (at least to start) in Week 18, which should give fantasy managers some pause when considering Okonkwo as a TE streamer. He has 52 total catches on the year for 479 yards and only two touchdowns in 16 games.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson capped off a poor season with a poor showing in Week 18's loss to Washington. The 25-year-old was targeted four times but caught just two passes for 12 yards. He did not score a single touchdown in the 2025 campaign and caught 57 passes for 482 yards on the season while missing some time with a concussion. Ferguson will look to rebound in 2025 with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) back under center, as he was not on the same page as Cooper Rush or Trey Lance over the back stretch of the season.
