Who Should I Start? Chigoziem Okonkwo or Miller Forristall

Saturday, November 16, 10:04 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo can be safely avoided by fantasy managers this Sunday when he squares off against the visiting Minnesota Vikings. The 25-year-old is Tennessee's clear TE1, though it has yet to amount to much in the fantasy department. Okonkwo is averaging an abysmal 2.3 receptions and 19.2 receiving yards per contest through nine games. Additionally, he'll face a tough test this weekend in a Vikings defense that has been stout against opposing passing attacks this season, letting up the seventh-fewest yards per pass attempt (5.7). Minnesota has been solid against tight ends, too, with 5.3 fantasy points allowed per game to the position. The Maryland product is RotoBaller's PPR TE29 for this weekend's slate.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Miller Forristall hauled in three passes for 20 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Sunday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. He caught the game-winning TD pass from Stetson Bennett late in the game as the Rams won 13-12. Forristall, a 26-year-old Alabama product, was the leading Rams tight end in the preseason contest on Sunday. As Tyler Higbee works back from a torn ACL, Forristall is behind Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen on the current unofficial depth chart. This performance should help him but he still has work to do to earn regular season reps.
