Who Should I Start? Tommy Tremble or Chig Okonkwo

Friday, November 28, 11:38 PM

In Week 12, Tommy Tremble failed to catch his only target and did not score a single fantasy point for the fourth time in the last five games. Tremble was mainly utilized as a blocker in this game and played on 48% of snaps. In Week 13, Carolina will face the Los Angeles Rams, who rank 19th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to the TE position. Although this is a favorable matchup for TEs, Tremble is not worthy of any fantasy consideration, even in TE-premium formats. Tremble has only been targeted at least twice in only three games this year.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo hasn't emerged as a consistent fantasy option in his fourth season, recording 39 receptions for 406 yards on 51 targets, and is still looking for his first touchdown through 12 games. Okonkwo has been sharing snaps with rookie tight end Gunnar Helm, who ran more routes than Okonkwo for the first game this season in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Even in a Titans offense that has arguably the worst wide receiver group in the league with Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the season, Okonkwo hasn't emerged as a go-to target for rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. The 26-year-old tight end carries limited upside headed into Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns and should be viewed as a TE3 option.
