Chigoziem Okonkwo
2025 Season Outlooks
Okonkwo should be the starting tight end for the Titans this season, but he has minimal Fantasy value coming into the year. He's not worth drafting in the majority of leagues. Okonkwo could face competition from rookie tight end Gunnar Helm for targets, and we'll see how big of a role Helm has in 2025. Hopefully, Okonkwo will remain the No. 1 tight end all year, and he could benefit from rookie quarterback Cam Ward taking over for Will Levis this season. Last year, Okonkwo closed the season on a tear with three games of at least 10.9 PPR points in each of his final three meaningful games, and he averaged 14.6 PPR points over that span. We know he has plenty of potential, but Okonkwo has struggled to post consistent production during his career. Maybe that will change this season thanks to Ward, and Okonkwo could end up as a quality waiver-wire addition in all leagues during the year.
Okonkwo has settled in as a consistent contributor in Tennessee, having finished each of his three seasons in the range of 450 to 528 yards and 5.7 to 6.7 fantasy PPG. The 2022 fourth-round pick has yet to finish a season better than 15th in targets, catches, yards or TDs. Scoring has been a clear issue, as Okonkwo has 10 end zone targets and six TDs in 51 career games. On the plus side, he saw a huge spike in work late last season, producing 199 yards on 23 touches during Weeks 15-17 (his 28 targets ranked first and 43.9 fantasy points second among TEs during the span). There aren't many mouths to feed in Tennessee, so it's possible the 25-year-old can carry that momentum into 2025, but he'll need decent play from rookie QB Cam Ward. Okonkwo is best viewed as a back-end TE2.
