Titans TE Chig Okonkwo led the team in targets (10) and receptions (8) in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. His 59 receiving yards ranked second on the team, behind RB Tyjae Spears. He drew just
Okonkwo drew 4 targets from Will Levis (33.3% of his total attempts) before Tennessee yanked the QB in the third quarter. Then he garnered 23% of Mason Rudolph's attempts (6 targets) the rest of the way.
This looks like an outlier, though.
Sunday marked just the second time all season that Okonkwo caught more than three galls in a game. He also ran a route on just 52.5% of Tennessee's dropbacks.
That's not a large enough share to support consistently positive target shares.
Tennessee also gets matchups with the Colts and Jaguars the next two weeks that might not motivate as much passing volume.
Okonkwo remains strictly an if-you-need-him fantasy option.
