Chig Okonkwo vs. Rams — Expanded Target Opportunity in a High-Scoring Environment
Okonkwo is fully healthy and operating as Washington's primary tight end atop the depth chart. With Terry McLaurin on injured reserve and complementary receivers Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks ruled out, quarterback Jayden Daniels will need reliable targets beyond Stefon Diggs. Okonkwo has shown flashes of dynamic playmaking in recent weeks, including multiple acrobatic receptions.
In a projected high-scoring home matchup with negative game script potential as underdogs, Okonkwo should see a solid target floor. Our models project him for around 3.4 catches and 38 yards (7.8 PPR points). While started in just 6% of leagues, the vacated volume elevates him into a trustworthy streaming option at tight end.

Outlook Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black vs. Raiders — Standalone Value in Favorable Home Script
Operating as San Francisco's primary backup behind Christian McCaffrey, Kaelon Black continues to carve out a steady rotational role in Kyle Shanahan's rushing attack. The rookie showcased his playmaking upside in his last outing by racking up 63 rushing yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, pushing his roster rate up to 60%.
As heavy home favorites against Las Vegas in a matchup projected for plenty of scoring, game script could easily tilt toward ground volume late. Our projections forecast roughly 10 carries and 43 rushing yards (6.6 fantasy points), making Black a touchdown-dependent deep-league option who doubles as a premium fantasy stash.
