From the article

Chig Okonkwo is back on the intriguing late-round tight end radar again for 2026. The signing of Stefon Diggs definitely puts a damper on his upside... I still don't know if he'll have enough volume this season to be anything more than a streaming option when the matchup is right.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Okonkwo's upside capped by Diggs signing; likely just a streaming option despite QB upgrade.

Derek Brown considers Okonkwo an intriguing late-round dice roll but ultimately avoids him due to the Stefon Diggs signing dampening his upside. Last year Okonkwo ranked 24th in target share, 23rd in receiving yards per game, 28th in yards per route run, and 37th in first downs per route run among 54 qualifying tight ends. While better quarterback play with Jayden Daniels could help him recapture per-route metric production from previous seasons, Brown doubts he'll have enough volume to be more than a streaming option when matchups align.
