Who Should I Start? Jimmy Graham or Chigoziem Okonkwo

Tuesday, August 29, 11:58 PM

New Orleans Saints veteran tight end Jimmy Graham made the team's final 53-man roster heading into the 2023 regular season. The five-time Pro Bowl looked washed up in his last NFL season in 2021 with the Chicago Bears, when he had a career-low 14 receptions for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 23 targets in 15 games (six starts). The 36-year-old was a long shot to make an NFL comeback with his former team, especially after he had a medical episode on Aug. 19. Against all odds, though, Graham has impressed the coaching staff in recent weeks and caught three passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in the preseason finale last weekend. It's a cool story for Graham with the team he began his career with, but he'll have zero fantasy appeal while buried on the TE depth chart behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has brought in just seven passes for 42 yards through his first three games of 2023. He ranks 30th among all tight ends in targets (10) and has failed to make an impact. This was always a concern after the team added DeAndre Hopkins, and it is becoming a reality. Even though the Cincinnati Bengals have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends thus far, the second-year player out of Maryland should not be on the fantasy radar except in the deepest of tight end premium leagues. The Tennessee offense could be embarrassed once again in Week 4.
