Sleeper: Chig Okonkwo, Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts
Okonkwo had his best game of the season against Cincinnati in Week 15, catching eight balls for 59 yards. He is not a dynamic tight end and in most cases, would not be considered for sleeper status. A favorable match-up against a Colts team that struggles against opposing tight ends makes him a sneaky option this week.
Indianapolis gives up 15.81 points to opposing tight ends, third worst in fantasy.
With a quarterback struggling as much as Will Levis has, Okonkwo becomes somewhat of a safety blanket. Look for him to exploit openings and tally catches, potentially as many as the week before.
Do not expect him to find the end zone, though.
Okonkwo has scored just twice in 2024. Still, he has seen an uptick in targets (20 since Week 13) and should be a solid option for managers facing an injury at the position or looking to freshen things up amid a lackluster performer.
