Who Should I Start? Gerald Everett or Albert Okwuegbunam

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (illness) returned to practice on Friday after missing Thursday's session with an illness. The 29-year-old tight end missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but getting a full session in on Friday should make him ready to go for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. So far, Donald Parham Jr. has been the preferred red zone tight end for quarterback Justin Herbert as he's already hauled in three touchdown passes to Everett's zero. However, with wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) out for the season, Everett could move up the receiving pecking order. He has some streaming appeal in a plus matchup against the leaky Raiders defense.

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and a seventh-round draft pick in 2025 from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday in exchange for a sixth-rounder in 2025, according to sources. The Broncos were set to waiver Okwuegbunam on Tuesday before finding a trade partner in the Eagles. The 25-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2020 out of Missouri was set for an elevated role in Denver last year, but it never materialized and he finished with a career-low 10 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown in eight games (one start). Albert O will now have a new opportunity to provide tight end depth in Philadelphia behind Dallas Goedert and will be battling with Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra for backup duties. Okwuegbunam remains well off the fantasy radar.
