Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. Week 3 Outlook - Eagles at Cowboys

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 23rd 2021, 12:24pm EDT

The surprise is that Okwuegbunam has played more than 50% of the snaps in each of Denver's first two games. A terrific athlete with a bright future, Albert O. has hauled in 7 of 7 targets for 40 yards and a touchdown. And yet, Okwuegbunam's presence has done nothing to devalue Fant, who's TE5 in fantasy scoring with 10.3 points per game (half-point PPR). The TE dynamic might change a bit when Jerry Jeudy eventually comes back from his high-ankle sprain and stakes his claim to a healthy share of targets, but for now, Fant is an every-week fantasy starter and Okwuegbunam is a worthwhile stash.
