Commanders Take a $30M Gamble on Okonkwo at Tight End

The Commanders opened free agency by signing tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo to a three-year, $30 million deal, a bold move after missing on several top targets. The 26-year-old posted a career-high 560 receiving yards with the Titans in 2025 and should step into a featured role in Washington's offense, bringing yards after the catch and upside. While the contract seems steep for a player with modest proven production, it’s a calculated risk given limited alternatives and Okonkwo’s potential to improve with a higher-quality quarterback.

"2023 Fantasy Football: Sleeper tight ends, players who won't bounce back, ADPs, RB rankings, and breakout defensive backs"

Chigoziem Okonkwo of the Tennessee Titans, who was the most efficient tight end on a per-play basis last season, is expected to see an increased role this year. Despite being third on the depth chart in certain personnel packages, Okonkwo excelled in terms of targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns, and avoided tackles per catch. The Titans' addition of run blocker Trevon Wesco is not expected to threaten Okonkwo's passing downs role. Meanwhile, Dalton Kincaid of the Buffalo Bills is a rookie tight end with the best chance of being a fantasy starter in his first year.
