The Tennessee Titans (1-6) will visit the Indianapolis Colts (6-1) in Week 8. 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 8?
Okonkwo is not on the injury report and, barring a surprise, is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Chig Okonkwo in Week 8?
After consecutive games with 4+ receptions, Chig Okonkwo was shut out on 23 routes against the Patriots.
In theory, Okonkwo checks the boxes of a tight end streamer. He’s on the right side of the age curve, has athletic upside, and plays for an offense developing a rookie QB without a deep WR room.
Theory is great until you get a week like this — and then he buries you.
Okonkwo is on the fringes of streamability, though I’m more likely to lean toward a Theo Johnson or Isaiah Likely type — hyper athletes in an offense with more weekly potential.
Okonkwo isn’t a top-20 tight end for me this week or for the remainder of the season.
