I'm convinced the fourth-year tight end, who has three seasons of 50-plus receptions, could be a true sleeper from a fantasy perspective and I'd outright roster him over tight ends drafted earlier like Oronde Gadsden, Dallas Goedert and Jake Ferguson.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Okonkwo is a true TE sleeper with Daniels rapport; prefer him over Gadsden, Goedert, Ferguson.

Okonkwo has built a strong rapport with quarterback Jayden Daniels in training camp and is positioned as a true sleeper tight end. JJ Zachariason notes that 34-year-old Zach Ertz finished as a TE1 in six games with Washington last year despite missing Daniels much of the season, suggesting significant upside for a featured tight end. Outside of Stefon Diggs and Terry McLaurin, Washington lacks a pass catcher with more than 31 receptions in a season (outside 2021 Van Jefferson), creating opportunity. Despite running a 4.52 40-yard dash in 2022, Okonkwo has three seasons of 50-plus receptions and could be featured similarly under new offensive coordinator David Blough. JJ Zachariason would roster Okonkwo over earlier-drafted tight ends like Oronde Gadsden, Dallas Goedert, and Jake Ferguson.
