2025 Fantasy Outlook
Okonkwo has started slowly in all three of his NFL campaigns, posting just 570 yards and two touchdowns in 30 games played in Weeks 1-11 compared to 887 yards and four touchdowns in 21 games played from Week 12 onward. Given that context, Okonkwo's strong finish to 2024 won't necessarily carry over to 2025; he caught 22 of 28 targets for 182 yards in Weeks 15 through 17 before a minor abdomen injury limited him to three snaps Week 18. The 6-foot-3, 238-pound tight end relies on speed (4.52 40) and YAC ability more so than strength and size, which gives him potential to break big plays but can negatively impact his usage near the goal line. Okonkwo has just six touchdowns through three seasons and saw only one target inside the 10-yard line last season, while backup TEs Josh Whyle and Nick Vannett combined to score four TDs in 2024. The Titans bolstered their TE room by drafting Gunnar Helm in the fourth round this spring, but Okonkwo is still the favorite for playing time in passing situations, playing in an offense with a new QB (No. 1 pick Cam Ward) and weak receiving options behind WR Calvin Ridley.

Limited snaps to close season
Okonkwo was not targeted in Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Okonkwo popped up on the injury report Thursday with an abdominal injury and didn't practice at all Friday. While he ended up being active in Week 18, he played only three offensive snaps. Even with the sour finish to the campaign, Okonkwo emerged late in the season by accruing 28 receptions for 217 yards on 38 targets over the prior five games. With improved quarterback play in 2025, Okonkwo could be in line for better results.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Okonkwo got plenty of sleeper hype heading into 2023 after topping 40 yards in six of the last 10 games of his 2022 rookie season. His sophomore year ended up being similar to his rookie campaign, at least in terms of timing of his production, as he didn’t reach 40 yards in a game until Week 11 but then had at least 34 yards in each of the final seven games (in addition to scoring his lone touchdown of 2023 in Week 15). At 6-3, 238, Okonkwo is one of the league's smaller tight ends but also one of the fastest (4.52 40). The 2022 fourth-round pick hasn't exactly been reliable early in his career, dropping nine of 123 targets (7.3 percent). On the other hand, Okonkwo showed promising chemistry with quarterback Will Levis down the stretch last season, and he should get plenty of single coverage with wide receivers Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins drawing most of the defense’s attention. Those two also figure to get a large portion of the targets, but Tennessee seems to be heading in a more pass-heavy direction post-Derrick Henry, potentially setting the stage for Okonkwo to take another step forward.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Breakout tight end in 2024?
Despite a disappointing 2023 season, Jake Ciely of The Athletic lists Okonkwo as one of his five breakout candidates at tight end in the upcoming year.
ANALYSIS
Okonkwo was primed to take the sophomore leap after breaking out in his rookie campaign in 2022, registering 27 catches for 398 yards and two touchdowns over the last 10 games of the regular season. While his numbers improved in 2023, it wasn't the uptick in production fans were hoping for, as the team struggled to find consistency at quarterback. Will Levis is the unquestioned starter in 2024, and Ciely points out that the second-year quarterback's aggression downfield in a new system under head coach Brian Callahan should give Okonkwo - who averaged 14.1 yards per reception as a rookie -- the chance to be a legitimate deep threat in the passing game.
