Titans TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Okonkwo is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. He figures to continue splitting TE work with Gunnar Helm. Neither guy is a viable fantasy play.

Titans TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. Okonkwo’s absence would turn TE Gunnar Helm into a viable flier in daily contests, but you should be avoiding this situation otherwise.

Titans TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) is off the final Week 9 injury report. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice and sidelined on Thursday, but he returned for a full workout on Friday. Okonkwo should be ready for his usual role vs. the Chargers this weekend but has been ceding routes to TE Gunnar Helm lately. Neither guy is a recommended fantasy start.

Titans TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday. We don't have any details, but his status for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers seems uncertain. Okonkwo's absence would likely mean a playing-time boost for TE Gunnar Helm, although he'd still fall short of fantasy viability in this struggling Titans offense.

If you had to start Titans TE Chig Okonkwo in Week 5 -- or even if you just see his PPR score on your bench -- then you're probably pleased with his 4-48 receiving line. That marked a rebound from his 1-catch Week 4 and gives him three games of 4+ catches among the past four weeks. Those aren't big numbers, but they're solid for a TE whose rookie QB has completed just 51.8% of his passes through five weeks. But Sunday also featured a negative development for Okonkwo's fantasy outlook: the emergence of rookie TE Gunnar Helm.

The Titans have “been impressed” with the receiving ability of rookie TE Gunnar Helm. Helm, almost 23, arrived in Round 4 of the 2025 draft.

The Titans selected Texas TE Gunnar Helm in Round 4 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Helm played behind TE Ja’Tavion Sanders as a sophomore and junior but broke out in his 2024 senior campaign. He led the Longhorns with 60 catches and ranked second to only WR Matthew Golden with 786 yards and seven TDs. Helm’s 21.1% Dominator Rating ranked eighth among 21 TEs at the Combine. The 6’5, 241-pounder sprained his ankle while running the 40 at the Combine, so don’t put much stock into his 4.84-second time. Helm looks plenty athletic on tape, regularly making contorting catches and dodging defenders in the open field. He averaged 7.0 yards after the catch per reception last year, forcing a missed tackle on 20% of his grabs. He also has some of the most reliable hands in this TE class, with a career 2.5% drop rate. Helm’s route running and blocking need some work, but he has the tools to develop into an NFL starter and fantasy factor.
