Chigoziem Okonkwo Not On Fantasy Radar For Week 1
3 months agoTennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo takes on the Chicago Bears in an NFL opening weekend matchup. The former fourth-round pick was a popular breakout candidate last season, and while that didn't pan out due to the ineffectiveness of Ryan Tannehill at QB, Okonkwo was much more productive when Levis took over as the starting quarterback. There's some post-hype sleeper vibes around Okonkwo heading into year three, but he is still at best the fourth target in this offense behind Ridley, Hopkins, and Pollard/Spears at the moment. Okonkwo could jump up a spot in that pecking order if Hopkins is unable to go - currently questionable with an MCL tear - but it's still a risky play even if he gets a couple of extra targets this week. Chig is better left on fantasy benches in Week 1.
