My favorite sleeper start outside the top 100 heading into Week 9 is Chig Okonkwo...I like the opportunity he has in Washington's offense with Terry McLaurin sidelined. Okonkwo has already shown what he can do with seven catches for 69 yards against San Francisco in Week 6.

Okonkwo gets expanded role with McLaurin out; showed 7-69 upside in Week 6.

Chig Okonkwo is a favorite sleeper start outside the top 100 heading into Week 9. While his two-catch, 32-yard performance last week wasn't encouraging, he has upside with Terry McLaurin sidelined in Washington's offense. Okonkwo demonstrated his potential with seven catches for 69 yards against San Francisco in Week 6, showing he can turn opportunities into production. Despite the Rams matchup not being ideal, his athleticism and potential for a larger role in the passing game make him an interesting tight end option in a position where consistent production is difficult to find.
