The Tennessee Titans will host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16. 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 Okonkwo Playing in Week 16?
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 Okonkwo in Week 16?
Chig Okonkwo matched a season high in targets on Sunday with six and it only took him 17 routes to do so.
This is a player with plus-athleticism for the position and I think we can see that shine through next season should he sign in an offense with an experienced, or at least aggressive, QB.
As things stand now in Tennessee, I don’t think you can go this direction. They are willing to have Cam Ward learn on the fly and he’s yet to prove himself as capable of getting Okonkwo the quality of look that we need in order for him to be of any interest as we try to piece together the position.
