Free-agent tight end Chris Manhertz is signing with the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Giants have Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger on the roster and signed former Philadelphia Eagles tight end Jack Stoll this week, so the position is getting crowded behind Waller. Manhertz has caught just 26 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns in his eight-year career with the Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Denver Broncos, so he will not be on the fantasy radar in 2024. He is primarily a blocking tight end, and he could be buried on the depth chart.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo faces the Lions in a cross-conference matchup this Sunday in Detroit. Okonkwo had his highest yardage total of the season last week with 50, almost tripling his next highest output (16). It's been that kind of year for the young tight end and this Titans' offense as a whole. DeAndre Hopkins being moved to Kansas City opens up some extra targets that could go Okonkwo's way, but he is about to face a defense that has allowed the second-fewest yards to tight ends on the year. Mason Rudolph drawing the start would give Okonkwo the slightest viability in deeper-leagues, but his upside is still limited.
Still trying to decide between Manhertz and Okonkwo? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Chris Manhertz is projected to score 0.3 points this week while Chigoziem Okonkwo is projected to score 5.8 points.
