Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Tallies 19 yards in defeat
Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on four targets) for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.
Okonkwo commanded at least four targets for the fourth time in his last five games. He made a limited impact in Sunday's loss, particularly because both of his receptions came on Tennessee's opening drive. Okonkwo now has recorded fewer than 20 receiving yards in eight of 10 games on the campaign.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Held to one catch
Okonkwo recorded one catch (on one target) for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Will Levis returned under center after a three-game absence, and he failed to get any of Tennessee's tight ends involved. Okonkwo accounted for the position group's only reception while being on the field for only 55 percent of offensive snaps. He's now been held to 15 or fewer receiving yards in three of his last five contests.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Remains involved
Okonkwo recorded three catches (on four targets) for 38 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Patriots.
Okonkwo was on the field for a season-high 74 percent of offensive snaps, and he translated that into a relatively productive performance. He accounted for most of his yardage on a 21-yard gain late in the third quarter, which came off of a double reverse flea-flicker. Okonkwo also dropped a pass in the end zone that resulted in a pick, but his involvement in the offense still has ticked up with Mason Rudolph under center, as he's commanded at least four targets in all three of his starts.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Sees five targets
Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on five targets) for 14 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.
Okonkwo logged season-high marks in both snap rate and targets. Unfortunately, that didn't translate to much production, as his only positive yardage came in the final minute of the blowout loss. To make matters worse, Okonkwo had several miscues, highlighted by a lost fumble, an offensive pass interference penalty and an interception on one of his targets.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Leads way in receiving yards
Okonkwo recorded four receptions (on four targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.
Okonkwo has been on the field for at least 55 percent of offensive snaps in four of six games this season, and he had his best game of the season in Sunday's loss while displaying a rapport with Mason Rudolph. He accounted for the team's longest play from scrimmage with a 26-yard catch late in the first quarter that served as the majority of his production. If Rudolph remains under center Week 8 against the Lions, Okonkwo could benefit again, though he had yet to top 16 yards in a game entering Sunday's contest.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Held to six yards
Okonkwo recorded three receptions (on three targets) for six yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts.
Okonkwo has seen a stable role in the Titans offense, playing at least 29 snaps in every game this season with no less than a 38 percent snap rate. He matched a season high with three catches, though his longest gain of the day went for just five yards. Overall, Okonkwo has failed to top 16 yards in a contest.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: One catch in win
Okonkwo recorded one catch on three targets for five yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
It was another quiet performance for Okonkwo, although he did match his season high in targets. While he out-targeted Josh Whyle 3-1, Okonkwo is still an afterthought for fantasy purposes.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Out-produced by Whyle
Okonkwo recorded two catches (on two targets) for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.
Okonkwo narrowly remained Tennessee's primary tight end by snap count. However, he was out-targeted, 5-2, by Josh Whyle and now has failed to top 16 receiving yards in any of his three games this season. Okonkwo isn't likely to entirely lose his role, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Whyle continue to be the more productive pass catcher moving forward.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Three catches against Jets
Okonkwo recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.
Okonkwo saw his snap rate dip below 50 percent and narrowly out-produced Josh Whyle. A touchdown propped up Okonkwo's Week 1 stat line, though he now has only 31 yards combined on five catches across two games.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Still has starting role
Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on two targets) for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.
Okonkwo's role was reportedly in danger due to a challenge from Josh Whyle throughout training camp, though he was on the field for 38 offensive snaps (59 percent). Okonkwo also accounted for one of the Titans touchdowns on an impressive 17-yard leaping grab in the back of the end zone. He still isn't likely to see a significant number of targets on a regular basis, but he remains Tennessee's top tight end and could be a favorite target in the red zone.

Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: May be headed for timeshare
Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Okonkwo and Josh Whyle are "two very different kind of tight ends" and both will have roles in the offense, Buck Reising of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
Callahan classified Whyle is more of an in-line "Y" tight end and Okonkwo as more of an "F" (move) tight end, which perhaps hints at the latter being more involved than the former as a pass catcher. The team's initial preseason depth chart lists both as starters, a move that attracted some attention after Whyle played only 156 snaps in 11 games as a rookie in 2023. Okonkwo, meanwhile, took 692 snaps in 17 games, but he struggled for much of the season before improving late in the campaign and recording 61 percent of his yardage over the final seven weeks (322 out of 528 yards). His production was also heavily back-weighted during his 2022 rookie campaign, but in that season, Okonkwo simply didn't get much playing time early on. Callahan's quote makes it sound like another leap forward in playing time is unlikely for Okonkwo in Year 3.
