2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Volume Up Since McLaurin Went Down
Despite Sunday marking the first game this season that Okonkwo didn’t account for a target at least 20 yards downfield, he still came away with his second-highest output this season.
Okonkwo sits at TE24 this season with 7.5 PPR points per game, but since WR Terry McLaurin went down for the season with a torn patellar tendon, he's up to 9.6 PPR points and a TE17 ranking.
He’s commanded at least a 20.0% target share in three of the Commanders’ past four games while his 20.2% target share since Week 5 is the ninth-highest among all TEs. He produced double-digit PPR points in all three of those games.
The Commanders' next matchup comes against a Giants defense in Week 10 that reduces points to TEs by 14.3%.
