Chig Okonkwo caught all seven of his targets for 69 yards in a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in Week 6.
Fantasy Impact
Okonkwo led the Commanders in receiving in the close loss on Monday night. The veteran tight end has caught at least four passes while reaching at least 60 yards in two straight games. He could be in store for a larger role after his bye in Week 7, as Terry McLaurin was carted off the field on Monday vs. the 49ers with a knee injury.
Chig Okonkwo caught four of his team-high six targets for 60 yards in the Commanders' 27-27 Week 5 tie with the New York Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Okonkwo was impactful in the rain-soaked Week 5 contest for head coach Dan Quinn, recording over 50 receiving yards for the first time in his three contests. The tight end remains another risky pass-catching option in all formats ahead of a Week 6 contest against the San Francisco 49ers.
Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran tight end was able to log another limited practice session on Thursday. His hamstring injury isn't serious at this point, however, and he is expected to play through it in this week's matchup against the Giants.
Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Okonkwo was able to make his return to the lineup in Week 4 after missing a bit of time due to a hamstring injury. It's not surprising that the team continues to limit his workload at practice because of it, but he still should be good to play through it in Week 5, assuming he doesn't re-aggravate the injury sometime during the week.
Chig Onkonkwo (hamstring) will play Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Okonkwo has been out since Week 1 due to a hamstring injury, but after getting in limited practice sessions this week, he is ready to return to action this Sunday. Okonkwo hauled in 2-of-3 targets for 16 yards in the Commanders' 24-22 loss to the Eagles in Week 1.
