Chigoziem Okonkwo Dynasty Value

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.

Titans HC Brian Callahan is handing off play-calling duties to QBs coach Bo Hardegree. It's an interesting decision to go with Hardegree rather than OC Nick Holz. The Titans offense has been a mess through three games, ranking 28th in points, 31st in total yards, and dead last in yards per play. The offensive line has struggled with injuries to OT J.C. Latham and G Kevin Zeitler, while WR Calvin Ridley has been far too quiet. Hardegree's only play-calling experience came in nine games for the 2023 Raiders as interim OC. That team averaged 22.9 points per game under Hardegree -- up from 15.8 over the first eight games. We'll see what Hardegree does for the Titans going forward, but it's tough to imagine the offense getting any worse. The unit should at least benefit from an easier schedule after Week 4. Tennessee has opened with a gauntlet of defenses: Broncos, Rams, Colts, Texans.
