The move to Washington gives him a chance to take on a larger role.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Okonkwo's Ertz replacement role and contract suggest TE2 upside.

Okonkwo joins Washington after four seasons with the Tennessee Titans, where he played all 68 games since entering the league and recorded at least 50 receptions in each of the past three years. However, limited snaps and poor TD production kept him at TE21 in fantasy points every year during that span. The move to Washington gives him a chance to take on a larger role. Zach Ertz is gone, and Daniels targeted him 91 times in 2024, leading to 66 receptions, 654 yards and seven TDs. Washington gave Okonkwo a three-year, $27 million contract, suggesting his usage should increase, and he is projected to see the second-most targets on the team behind McLaurin.
