News: 2 days agoOkonkwo (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Spin: Okonkwo logged a full practice Friday, which was enough for the fifth-year tight end to avoid an injury tag for Sunday's NFC East showdown. Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5, while Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is listed as questionable, so Okonkwo's scoring floor will be further heightened if McLaurin is unable to suit up, especially with QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow) back under center.

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.
