All Underdog Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden insights about Chigoziem Okonkwo
PositiveProjectionJul 3, 2026
One analyst projects Okonkwo as a potential tight end 2 based on his role in the offense, though acknowledges his current ADP reflects a more conservative expectation.PositiveValueJul 3, 2026
At tight end 17 on Underdog and tight end 21 in home leagues, Okonkwo represents good value as the de facto number two receiver in Washington with Terry McLaurin as the primary target.PositiveSleeperJul 3, 2026
Okonkwo is positioned as a sleeper tight end with upside in Washington's offense under Ben Johnson, who can utilize him similarly to how he deployed Sam LaPorta in Detroit through motion and route diversity.PositiveSleeperJul 3, 2026
New Washington Commander tight end going as Titan 17 on Underdog and Titan 21 on Yahoo; can be David Blough's Sam LaPorta with similar profile to receiving-type tight ends.PositiveProjectionJun 17, 2026
Josh compares Chigoziem Okonkwo to Sam LaPorta's role in the Detroit Lions offense, noting that David Blau showed Okonkwo LaPorta film and that Okonkwo can make more out of less as a YAC threat.PositiveRoleJun 17, 2026
Josh believes Chigoziem Okonkwo could see more single tight end sets under David Blau's system similar to Sam LaPorta in Detroit, and if his route participation reaches 70-75%, his ADP may not be factoring in enough upside.PositiveDepth ChartJun 17, 2026
Hayden is concerned about Chigoziem Okonkwo's depth chart placement, noting that if Aayuk gets cut and signs with the Commanders, Okonkwo could drop to Jawan Johnson tier, and he believes the depth chart is not yet set in stone.PositiveSleeperMay 27, 2026
Okonkwo is drafted about two rounds later than Isaiah Likely and the analyst likes him as well. While he's the worst run-blocking tight end in the NFL, he has a similar profile to Harold Fannon (a terrible run blocker on a pass-heavy team) and should be a top target on the Commanders.
