Chig Okonkwo vs. Giants — Modest Role in Division Clash

Okonkwo appears set to operate as Washington's primary tight end after managing a hamstring issue that limited his practice reps last week. Although he is listed atop the depth chart ahead of John Bates and Ben Sinnott, he logged just two receptions for five yards on four targets in his recent return to action.

Our models project Okonkwo for approximately 2.8 receptions and 29 yards (6.6 fantasy points) against New York. With his roster rate down to 7% and fantasy managers starting him in fewer than 1% of leagues, he is best viewed as a touchdown-dependent stash or bench option in standard leagues.
