The Bottom Line

Dallas Goedert is the better fantasy play this season.

Chigoziem Okonkwo vs Dallas Goedert: The Full Breakdown

Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Chigoziem Okonkwo (Tennessee Titans) finished the 2025 season averaging 6.5 fantasy points per game in 16 games. Dallas Goedert (Philadelphia Eagles) came in at 10.3 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Dallas Goedert carries a 3.8-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Dallas Goedert is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 591 yards, while Chigoziem Okonkwo profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (2 scores on 42 catches). In weeks where Chigoziem Okonkwo finds the end zone he out-scores Dallas Goedert, but the floor gap is real.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Chigoziem Okonkwo sits Week 5 while Dallas Goedert is off Week 10. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Dallas Goedert at a discount because your league-mates undervalue tight end production, do it. Chigoziem Okonkwo is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Chigoziem Okonkwo (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
