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 has now recorded fewer than 20 receiving yards in eight of 10 games on the campaign.
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.
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.
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.
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 rapport with Mason Rudolph. He accounted for the team's longest play from scrimmage with a 26-yard catch late in the first quarter to account for the majority of his production. If Rudolph remains under center in Week 8 against the Lions, Okonkwo could benefit again, though he had yet to top 16 yards in a game entering Sunday's contest.
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.
Okonkwo recorded one catch on three targets for five yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins. It was a mixed performance for Okonkwo, as he matched his season high of three targets. However, he managed only one reception for five yards in the blowout victory. While he out-targeted Josh Whyle 3-1, Okonkwo is still an afterthought for fantasy purposes.
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.
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.
