The Tennessee Titans (1-4) will visit the Las Vegas Raiders (1-4) in Week 6. 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 6?
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 6?
Cam Ward got his first career win and took advantage of the door being left open by the Cardinals. He threw 39 passes with a banged-up WR1 and an emerging WR2 that managed to shake free for just four targets.
In theory, that should lock in top 10 production for Chig Okonkwo, but he earned just five looks and 8.8 PPR points. At this point, we know what he is: he’s 5-6 targets that come with limited accuracy and almost no touchdown equity.
I’ll pass.
If you told me that you’re vying for a fantasy title in Week 17 and looking twice at streaming Okonkwo against the Saints with Ward finding his stride, I wouldn’t call you crazy. That said, there’s nothing you have to do at this moment in time when it comes to Tennessee’s TE.
