STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Okonkwo's YAC skills (3rd in missed tackles forced) offer upside if Diggs/McLaurin injured.

Okonkwo should operate as Washington's WR3 with a possibility of vaulting to a WR2-type role if Diggs or McLaurin miss any time in 2026; he has always excelled after the catch and even in his down 2025 campaign ranked third among all tight ends in missed tackles forced per reception (trailing only Harold Fannin and Tucker Kraft) and sixth in yards after the catch per reception.
