Chig Okonkwo vs Terrance Ferguson: Who Should You Start?
Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Chig Okonkwo (Washington Commanders) finished the 2025 season averaging 5.6 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Terrance Ferguson (Los Angeles Rams) came in at 3.3 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Chig Okonkwo carries a 2.3-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.
Chig Okonkwo is the volume tight end in this matchup with 56 receptions for 560 yards, while Terrance Ferguson profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (3 scores on 11 catches). In weeks where Terrance Ferguson finds the end zone he out-scores Chig Okonkwo, but the floor gap is real.
Chig Okonkwo has his bye in Week 14, and Terrance Ferguson rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
