BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Don't look now, but Chigoziem Okonkwo might be the best-positioned tight end to under-the-radar win you the league if you act quickly enough and can grab some shares of the Tennessee main man.
Okonkwo has now caught 3+ passes in four consecutive weeks, topped 30 yards in seven straight games, and has top-24 finishes in all of the last seven matchups, including three consecutive top-15 finishes (and two top-eight in that span, too).
The Titans' tight end didn't do much to kick the year off, scoring just 37.3 PPR points over his first nine games played (from Week 1 to Week 12) with just one getting into double-digit fantasy points (Week 4, 12.8 PPR points). After that, though, and his last three games from Week 13 through Week 15 (both included), he's already at 39.3 PPR.
Okonkwo has averaged 4+ receptions, 5+ targets, 55+ yards, and scored one TD in that three-game span. That type of production coming from a tight end (who was even given a rushing attempt last Sunday, which turned into a six-yard gain by the TE) is more than good for those hurting for options in deeper formats.
Make sure to roster Okonkwo in all leagues (if only to prevent others from doing so) and start him in any sort of 12+ team league ROS. He might not actually win you the league with an astonishing 30+ PPR outing, but he looks like a lock to keep putting up 10-to-14 fantasy points on a weekly basis.
