From the episode

Chico Conquo being your leading tight end... do we have enough ideas where we can mitigate the fact that Okonkwo is not that credible of a blocker?

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Okonkwo's fantasy value depends on his usage in 12-personnel sets.

Chigoziem Okonkwo is the leading tight end for the Commanders, but his lack of elite blocking ability may force the team to hide him in 12-personnel sets. His fantasy value is tied to whether the new coaching staff can mitigate his blocking deficiencies while utilizing his receiving upside.
