The Tennessee Titans (1-5) will host the New England Patriots (4-2) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Chig Okonkwo.
Is Chig Okonkwo Playing in Week 7?
Okonkwo is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Titans’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Chig Okonkwo in Week 7?
Chig Okonkwo is a good reminder of just how little it takes to get our attention at the tight end position.
He’s reached 50 yards just once and plays for an offense that is rarely in the same zip code as the end zone, but because he has an athletic profile and has caught 4+ passes in four of the past five weeks, he’s always a part of streaming questions I get entering the week.
There’s essentially zero upside to chase (no end zone targets this season and under 20 air yards in five of six games this season), but some fantasy managers are comfortable enough with the rest of their roster that 7-10 PPR points is a completely fine outcome.
Most of my teams don’t have that sort of luxury, but if yours do, this is a reasonable spot to look, especially with Calvin Ridley injured. Okonkwo has caught 10 of 11 targets on 54 routes this month: take it and move on.
If you’re willing to take on risk in the hopes of striking gold, there are a handful of options on your wire that I’d add ahead of Tennessee’s chain mover.
