Chigoziem Okonkwo Faces Tough Matchup In Season-Opener

Chigoziem Okonkwo Faces Tough Matchup In Season-Opener

one year ago

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo exceeded expectations as a rookie, catching 46 passes for 450 yards and three touchdowns. However, he posted those numbers with rookie Treylon Burks and aging veterans Robert Woods and Austin Hooper as his primary target competition. In 2023, DeAndre Hopkins should be the team's target hog, lowering Okonkwo's floor. In Week 1, he faces a New Orleans Saints team that allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends last season. Ultimately, Okonkwo is unlikely to post fantasy-relevant numbers in the season-opener unless he catches a touchdown.
