Chig Okonkwo vs Mark Andrews: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Chig Okonkwo finished the 2025 season at 5.6 PPG over 17 games with the Washington Commanders, while Mark Andrews clocked in at 6.3 across 17 appearances for the Baltimore Ravens. A 0.7-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.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Chig Okonkwo had 56 catches for 560 yards; Mark Andrews posted 48 for 422. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at tight end for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
