Who Should I Start? Chigoziem Okonkwo or Tucker Kraft

Monday, December 9, 12:18 AM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught three of four targets for just eight receiving yards during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo's three receptions totaled ten, four, and negative six yards. The 25-year-old is having his worst NFL season yet, catching just 30 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns while ranking outside the top 30 fantasy tight ends. The 25-year-old belongs on waivers in most fantasy leagues, including next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft had his worst fantasy performance in the past four games and looks to right the ship against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Kraft has been a solid tight end option for fantasy managers this season but laid an egg last week as he caught both targets for just 34 yards against the Seattle Seahawks. With Romeo Doubs making his return from concussion protocol, the pass-catching group got a bit more crowded with Doubs adding back into a group that features Kraft, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks. Not only that, but Jordan Love and the Packers have featured the run game more prominently. Kraft is going to have to make his opportunities count when he gets them, but he has an excellent matchup with the Saints on tap as the Saints are a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy tight ends on the season. Consider Kraft a low-end fantasy TE1 for Week 16.
