BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: The Tennessee Titans have nothing but pride left to play for as they've been eliminated from the playoffs. But they can play the spoiler role this week if they were to upset their division rival Houston Texans on the road.
The uber-talented and ultra-athletic tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo has emerged in the second half of the season as one of the top weapons in the Tennessee passing game. Last week, he finally got into the end zone on a half-back pass from Derrick Henry for his first touchdown of the season.

In that game against Seattle, he also had a season-high in catches (6) and yardage (63) on his second-most targets (7) of the year.
Will Levis is back at QB this week and he would be wise to look Chig's way as the Texans have been poor against the TE position, allowing the 6th-most fantasy points this season. They were allowed a 9-44-1 line to David Njoku last week. While Chig had only three catches for 36 yards in the first matchup, the potential for a big day from him is definitely still there.
