Chig Okonkwo vs NYG — Modest Streaming Appeal in a Shorthanded Passing Game
Okonkwo returned to action in Week 4 after missing two games with a hamstring injury, and head coach Dan Quinn noted he expects tight end production to rise as Okonkwo gets back into the weekly flow. Operating as Washington's primary tight end on the depth chart, he could see an expanded role against the Giants with top receiver Stefon Diggs ruled out.
Currently rostered in just 5% of leagues and started in under 1%, fantasy managers should view Okonkwo as a speculative dart throw rather than a trustworthy starter. Our weekly projection forecasts 3.2 receptions for 28 yards and 7.1 fantasy points, making him a touchdown-dependent streaming option for deeper formats.

Outlook Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard vs IND — Expanding Depth Role in Pittsburgh's Passing Attack
With Michael Pittman Jr. landing on injured reserve due to a foot injury, rookie receiver Germie Bernard has an opportunity to carve out additional rotational snaps. Working behind DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson on the depth chart, Bernard has hauled in three catches for 25 yards over his last two games, earning occasional trust from Aaron Rodgers.
Despite the injuries in the receiving corps, Bernard remains a low-volume option. Our projections anticipate roughly 2.4 receptions on nearly four targets for 29 receiving yards (6.4 fantasy points) against Indianapolis. Started in just 1% of leagues, fantasy managers in standard formats should keep him on the bench or treat him as a deep-league stash.
