2024 RTSports Outlook

Okonkwo had a pretty solid first season as the full-time starter for the Titans. He had 54 receptions for 528 yards and a touchdown. He was 21st overall in fantasy tight end scoring. His numbers weren't off the charts because of a lack of scores, finding the end zone just one time all season. He had double-digit fantasy points just one game. If Well Levis can take a step forward this year, Okonkwo should post even better numbers as the starter for the Titans. Okonkwo is a great athlete with top speed. His route running needs some work and he isn't much of a blocker, but his athletic ability at the position makes him a tough cover. He will drop some passes, having eight drops in two seasons.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Okonkwo isn't a No. 1 fantasy tight end just yet but just outside that group. He can build on last season and have some big games along the way this season. He can get 60 receptions for 600 yards and five touchdowns.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo doesn't feature the same hype machine he generated in 2023, after leading his position in yards per reception (14.1), yards per route run (3.26), and full-PPR fantasy points per route run (0.70) during 2022, but there's still some areas to like about him as a late-round flier. Although drops (seven) and a lack of touchdowns (one) very much held him back, Okonkwo is a buy-low fantasy candidate after drawing the third-most deep targets (eight) and collecting the ninth-most unrealized air yards (261) among tight ends in 2024. All told, the explosive 24-year-old vertical threat didn't break the double-digit barrier in fantasy points until Week 16 and tallied 54 catches (77 targets) for 528 yards and a lone score through 17 games overall. Okonkwo's snap share dwindled as the year went on as a result, but he projects as Tennessee's top pass-catching tight end and with reasonable playing time to begin the season. The Titans didn't make any major moves to upgrade the TE room this offseason, but the addition of star wideout Calvin Ridley could reduce his target volume. It's worth noting that Okonkwo averaged 3.2 catches for 34.1 yards across nine games with starting quarterback Will Levis, who will be under center for Week 1. Okonkwo is your model TE2 with TE1 upside and a post-hype sleeper at the end of drafts in 2024.
