Dave identifies Okonkwo as a sleeper tight end (ranked 12th by the source); the source notes that if Okonkwo is replacing Zach Ertz in the Washington offense and the team doesn't add Brandon Aiyuk or Stefan Diggs, he could finish first or second on his team in targets. Last year he averaged 4.7 targets per game in Tennessee and 7+ PPR points per game; if he gets north of 6 targets per game in Washington, he could extrapolate to 9-10 PPR points per game. Ertz had a 17.2% target-per-route-run rate with Jade Daniels and averaged 10.4 PPR points per game; Okonkwo has 16 career games with 6+ targets and averaged 11.7 PPR points in those games, suggesting he's a low-end starter if given the opportunity.
