Chig Okonkwo vs. Philadelphia — Opportunity Knocks in Shorthanded Passing Attack
Operating as Washington's primary tight end, Okonkwo enters Week 8 fully healthy after shaking off early-season hamstring troubles. With veteran wideout Terry McLaurin recently placed on injured reserve, the Commanders need secondary targets to step up behind Stefon Diggs. Okonkwo's chemistry with Jayden Daniels was evident in his last game, catching all seven targets for 69 yards.
Our weekly projection tabs Okonkwo for approximately 3.6 receptions and 37 yards (8.3 fantasy points). Fantasy managers have responded by driving his roster rate up past 30% this week. Although the 40.5-point game total indicates a lower-scoring affair, his growing target share cements him as a high-floor streaming option with low-end TE1 upside.

Keenan Allen at Jacksonville — Volume Potential in a Chasing Script
Keenan Allen enters Week 8 healthy and operating as a primary perimeter target for Indianapolis alongside slot wideout Josh Downs, with Alec Pierce remaining sidelined on injured reserve. The Colts head to Jacksonville as substantial road underdogs, setting up an aerial game script that should keep Daniel Jones dropping back frequently.
That trailing game script bodes well for Allen's PPR floor. Our weekly projection slates him for 4.2 receptions and 43 yards on over six targets (9.5 fantasy points). Rostered in 66% of leagues and started in 26%, Allen represents a dependable flex option whose consistent route participation provides a sturdy floor.
