Chig Okonkwo vs. Eagles — Expanding Role in Washington's Passing Attack
Now fully healthy after an early-season hamstring issue, Okonkwo has cemented himself as Washington's starting tight end. With top wideout Terry McLaurin recently placed on injured reserve, additional targets are up for grabs alongside Stefon Diggs. Okonkwo demonstrated that momentum in his last outing, hauling in all seven of his targets for 69 yards.
Our models project him for roughly 3.4 receptions and 35 yards this week against Philadelphia. Still rostered in only 13% of leagues, he offers intriguing PPR streaming appeal, though a modest 40-point game total may limit his scoring opportunities.

Makai Lemon at Washington — Gaining Momentum After First Career Touchdown
Fresh off scoring his first career touchdown on a tight-window strike from backup quarterback Tanner McKee, rookie slot receiver Makai Lemon continues to carve out a steady role. With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined on injured reserve and fellow pass-catchers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks battling injuries, Lemon's involvement in the short passing game is steadily growing.
Our weekly projections have Lemon targeted around five times for three receptions and 25 yards (6.1 fantasy points). Roster start rates sit near 12%, making him primarily a deep-league play. While Tanner McKee under center and a modest game total against Washington keep his scoring ceiling in check, Lemon offers dependable PPR volume for managers navigating lineup holes.
