Chigoziem Okonkwo vs Cole Kmet: The Full Breakdown
Deciding between Chigoziem Okonkwo and Cole Kmet is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Tennessee Titans tight end put up 6.5 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Cole Kmet of the Chicago Bears averaged 4.0 in 16. A 2.5-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.5 points favors Chigoziem Okonkwo, 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. Chigoziem Okonkwo had 42 catches for 462 yards; Cole Kmet posted 30 for 347. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Chigoziem Okonkwo has his bye in Week 5, and Cole Kmet rests in Week 7. 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.
