Chig Okonkwo vs Luke Musgrave: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Chig Okonkwo finished the 2025 season at 5.6 PPG over 17 games with the Tennessee Titans, while Luke Musgrave clocked in at 4.8 across 14 appearances for the Green Bay Packers. A 0.8-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

One scheduling note: Chig Okonkwo is off Week 9 and Luke Musgrave Week 10. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
