STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Okonkwo caught all 7 targets last week; could be reliable with McLaurin out.

With Terry McLaurin out for the season, Okonkwo could become a reliable target for Jayden Daniels. Last week against the 49ers, Okonkwo caught all seven targets for 69 yards, working primarily in short and intermediate parts of the field. He has gone for 60+ yards in back-to-back weeks with 13 targets over that span. Since Week 5, Okonkwo has run the ninth-most routes (65) and seen the seventh-most targets among tight ends, while ranking fourth in YAC/REC (6.3) among TEs with 10+ targets. All seven targets last week came after McLaurin exited the game. The source identifies him as worth a stash in hopes of continued production.
