Bottom line
- Chig Okonkwo is the Titans’ clear TE1 with favorable usage signals, but he’s realistically a mid-range TE1/low-end TE2 with upside depending on the offense’s passing volume in 2025.

Key usage signals (from Reddit/FF Hound threads)
- Starter-level role: In camp, 22 of 23 snaps with starters; in preseason Week 1 he played every snap with starters. Strong indication he’ll be on the field a ton and be a primary target for Cam Ward’s offense.
- High route involvement: Team TE efficiency data shows Okonkwo with ~73% route share, which supports steady target opportunities even if volume isn’t elite.
- Relative TE usage: First Downs per Route Run placed him at 27th among listed TEs in 2024, suggesting he isn’t elite in efficiency but is used consistently enough to support a reliable floor given his-route share.
- Red-zone/goal-line questions: No explicit red-zone data provided; with a QB/OL upgrade, there’s a path to TD upside, but not guaranteed.

Supply/demand considerations
- Pass volume risk: Titans’ overall passing volume will cap ceiling regardless of workload; his target total hinges on Cam Ward’s progression and the offense’s willingness to throw to TEs.
- Competition: The data centers on Okonkwo’s solid role; no strong, clear TE competition mentioned in these notes, but keep an eye on any additional pass-catching options that could siphon targets.
- QB/Offense upgrade potential: Cam Ward’s arrival and offensive tweaks are cited as a positive for Te usage; if Ward hits the ground running, Okonkwo’s fantasy floor and ceiling both improve.

Projected 2025 fantasy outlook (realistic ranges)
- Targets/receptions: roughly 60–85 targets; receptions about 40–60.
- Yardage: around 400–600 yards.
- TDs: likely in the 4–7 range, depending on red-zone opportunities.
- PPR fantasy points: approximately 90–110 total; roughly 9–12 points per game in a 12-team format, with upside in favorable weeks.
- Helper/scenario notes: Best-ball upside exists if he commands more weekend targets or if red-zone usage spikes; downside if the offense stagnates or a new receiver emerges as a more consistent option.

ADP/draft strategy (actionable)
- Draft him as a high-floor TE2 with upside: target around late-round picks in typical drafts; he’s not a slam-dunk TE1 (like top-5), but the high route share and starting snaps give him a tangible weekly floor.
- Best-ball leverage: he’s a solid late-round target in best-ball formats due to consistent weekly floor and potential weeks with multiple targets and TDs.
- Pairing considerations: pair with a higher-volume WR or another high-target TE in multi-TE formats to balance potential weeks where offense spreads targets more evenly.
- Streaming contingency: treat as a viable streamer in weeks with favorable matchups or if Titans show pass-heavy game plans; otherwise, rely on consistent route participation for steady points.

Risk flags to monitor
- Offensive efficiency/volatility: If the Titans’ passing game stalls, Okonkwo’s targets could decline even with high snap counts.
- QB development: Any stagnation from Cam Ward or changes in coaching/philosophy could cap TE opportunities.
- Red-zone volatility: TD upside is not guaranteed without clear red-zone targets.

Bottom-line guidance
- Okonkwo is a realistic, steady TE option for 2025 with a favorable usage profile and real upside if the Titans pass more efficiently. Treat him as a weekly TE2 with boom potential, rather than a surefire top-8 TE.
