Chigoziem Okonkwo Has Earned Bigger Role
2 years agoTennessee Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing said that rookie tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has earned more opportunities and they've looked at drawing up more ways to get him the football. No tight end in football has more 40-plus-yard plays this year than Okonkwo, and he had four catches on five targets for a season-high 68 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Austin Hooper isn't going anywhere, but the 23-year-old Okonkwo could see a bigger role the rest of the season in the Titans' run-first offense. The big-play tight end's fantasy arrow is pointing up, but he's still nothing more than an upside TE2 streaming option in deeper leagues.
