Chig Okonkwo vs Hunter Henry: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Chig Okonkwo and Hunter Henry is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Washington Commanders tight end put up 5.6 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Hunter Henry of the New England Patriots averaged 8.8 in 17. A 3.2-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.2 points favors Hunter Henry, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Chig Okonkwo had 56 catches for 560 yards; Hunter Henry posted 60 for 768. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.
