With David Blough replacing Kingsbury, Washington’s offense will utilize more multiple tight end sets, expanding the opportunity share for Chigoziem Okonkwo and Ben Sinnott, both because the Commanders will be calling more tight end-friendly play and the team’s lack of WR depth.
Okonkwo is a popular sleeper, but curiously, Keim highlighted Sinnott as a point of emphasis during the Washington’s offseason program. Specifically, Keim described a deep shot and an intermediate throw to Sinnott as plays that Blough will more frequently call during the season.
Okonkwo’s best ball ADP is nestled in the TE15-20 zone, meanwhile Sinnott remains completely off the redraft radar. Dynasty managers should keep Sinnott rostered in tight end premium formats given his youth (23.9 years old) and 133.0 (98th-percentile) Burst Score, which is particularly predictive of long-term tight end performance.

Washington is transitioning to a pro-style passing attack under new offensive coordinator David Blough, a massive schematic shift that plans to double last season’s 23.8-percent usage of two-tight end sets. This system aims to resurrect Jayden Daniels following a sophomore slump where he threw for just eight touchdowns in seven appearances.
Armed with a revamped supporting cast featuring Chig Okonkwo and Rachaad White, Daniels maintains the Konami Code rushing upside to be safely ranked in the upper tier of fantasy quarterbacks and anchor fantasy football squads this season.
Washington secured Chigoziem Okonkwo on a three-year deal worth up to $30 million to serve as an offensive focal point in David Blough’s multiple tight end structures. While his 1.47 Yards Per Route Run ranked No. 23 among tight ends last season, his historical efficiency remains notable after maintaining a 20.7-percent Target Rate over his career in Tennessee.
If Jayden Daniels stays healthy, Okonkwo offers viable low-end TE1 utility for 12-team leagues this season with athletic upside particularly for fantasy football dynasty and best ball leagues.
Zach Ertz is 35 years old and coming off a devastating Week 14 ACL tear, yet the “you never know” comment from Jeffrey Lurie and the Commanders suggests Ertz could command a role in the second half.
Even in a 2025 season where Ertz maintained a 20.2% Target Share (No. 7), his 1.47 Yards Per Route Run (No. 24) confirms he is at best a volume-dependent dust statue. Ertz can be ignored in dynasty in spite of some nominal streaming viability in deep leagues.
Tennessee Titans 3rd year tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo got an opportunity in the latter stages of the 2024 season and made the absolute most of it. He was TE4 during the fantasy playoffs, recording 14.6 PPR points per game. His 28 targets during the stretch were 2nd only to Trey McBride. So heading into 2025, what should we do with the promising young TE?
BUY BUY BUY! Keep trade cut his him equal to a 2025 mid 3rd, and players like Cardinals WR Michael Wilson, Denver RB Jaleel Mclaughlin, and Chargers rookie Kimani Vidal
Chig is currently the TE34 in our dynasty rankings. Coming off of his success in the fantasy playoffs, if you are dealing with an aging veteran like a Travis Kelce or searching for an answer its never a bad bet to grab a player with a 96th percentile 40 time and a 92nd percentile speed score like BIG RIG CHIG.

Prior to the open of training camp for the Titans, TE Josh Whyle had earned recognition and impressed his head coach and team reporter Jim Wyatt with his offseason work. At the time, it appeared that Chig Okonkwo was still firmly in the lead as the starter. Now with training camp opening the coaching staffs appears willing to give Josh Whyle an opportunity to carve out a role for himself in the offense. The bigger takeaway here may be the Titans lack of endorsement of Chig.
Josh Whyle possesses the size and catch radius to be an immediate redzone threat for 2nd year QB Will Levis. Brian Callahan has pretty much declared open competition and remained mysterious when it comes to usage outside of a few positions. That being said, Whyle is a must add in any tight end premium dynasty league.
