Chigoziem Okonkwo: Unranked TE. Najee Harris: Unranked RB. Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. An Unranked TE is harder to replace on waivers than an Unranked RB in most league formats.

Chigoziem Okonkwo vs Najee Harris: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Chigoziem Okonkwo (TE, Tennessee Titans) against Najee Harris (RB, Pittsburgh Steelers) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Chigoziem Okonkwo averaged 6.5 PPG in 2025 over 16 games, while Najee Harris posted 12.8 PPG across 17 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Chigoziem Okonkwo has his bye in Week 5, Najee Harris in Week 9. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
