Outlook Chig Okonkwo

Chig Okonkwo vs. Eagles — Expanding Target Share in Divisional Clash

Okonkwo enters Week 8 healthy and operating as Washington's lead tight end after overcoming an earlier hamstring issue. With primary wide receiver Terry McLaurin sidelined on injured reserve, Okonkwo stepped up with seven catches on seven targets for 69 yards in his last outing, and fellow tight end John Bates is currently questionable.

Our weekly projection slates him for 3.6 receptions and 37 yards on nearly five targets against Philadelphia. Fantasy managers have responded by driving his roster rate up past 33%, making him a viable streaming option and a solid PPR flex play for managers dealing with injuries or bye weeks.
