News: 2 days agoOkonkwo tallied two catches (on four targets) for 32 yards during Sunday's 27-10 win versus the Eagles.

Spin: Okonkwo logged a typical 77 percent snap share in Week 8, but aside from a stellar 21-yard catch in the fourth quarter, he didn't contribute much to the Commanders offense. Overall, he's mustered just a 17-182-0 line on 24 targets in his five appearances this season, but 15 of his catches have occurred in the four full contests for Jayden Daniels in 2026, so the tight end has exhibited a rapport with the team's primary signal-caller. Okonkwo will aim for a bounceback this coming Sunday against the Rams.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Okonkwo signed with the Commanders after spending his first four seasons in Tennessee. The 2022 fourth-round pick is one of only four tight ends who have appeared in all 68 games since he entered the league, and he's also one of only six tight ends who have registered 50-plus receptions each of the past three seasons. On the other hand, Okonkwo has yet to clear a 16% target share in a single season, and he has been a nonfactor near the goal line (eight TDs and 11 end zone targets in his career). As a result, he has finished exactly 21st in fantasy points each of the past three seasons. Perhaps he'll make a leap as one of Jayden Daniels' top targets, but the 27-year-old is no more than a back-end TE2 lottery ticket.
