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.

Adonai Mitchell vs LV — Seeking Rebound as Outside Starter
After missing multiple weeks due to a finger injury, Mitchell returned to the lineup last week and enters Sunday without an injury designation. Even though he holds a starting perimeter spot opposite Garrett Wilson on the depth chart, he was unable to corral any of his three targets in his initial game back.
Our weekly projection expects a modest showing of roughly 2 receptions for 29 yards in a home matchup against Las Vegas. With fantasy managers starting him in just 1% of leagues, Mitchell should be kept on the bench until he demonstrates reliable rapport with Geno Smith.
