Yahoo Fantasy Football on Chigoziem Okonkwo
From the article
Okonkwo turned in his best performance as a Commander last week, catching all seven of his targets for 69 scoreless yards while working primarily in the short and intermediate parts of the field. Okonkwo has now gone for 60-plus yards in back-to-back weeks and has seen 13 targets over that span. It's too early to say if Okonkwo is a lock to see more targets with McLaurin out, but all seven of his targets last week came after McLaurin exited the game.
STACKED’s take
Okonkwo could be reliable target with McLaurin out; 7-for-7 last week, 13 targets in two weeks.
With Terry McLaurin (knee) now out for the season, Okonkwo could turn into a reliable target for Jayden Daniels. Last week against the Niners, Okonkwo turned in his best performance as a Commander, catching all seven of his targets for 69 scoreless yards while working primarily in the short and intermediate parts of the field. He has now gone for 60-plus yards in back-to-back weeks and has seen 13 targets over that span. Since Week 5, Okonkwo has run the ninth-most routes (65) and seen the seventh-most targets of any player at his position while ranking fourth in YAC/REC (6.3) among tight ends with at least 10 targets. All seven of his targets last week came after McLaurin exited the game, suggesting increased opportunity ahead.
