Chig Okonkwo vs Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Dallas Goedert is the better fantasy play this season.

Dallas Goedert has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 4.7-PPG advantage is real (10.3 to 5.6), and Dallas Goedert's 11 touchdowns show scoring upside. Chig Okonkwo is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Chig Okonkwo: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE (ranked #31 at the position). Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Chig Okonkwo is producing at 25% of elite pace and Dallas Goedert at 47%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Chig Okonkwo vs Dallas Goedert: Who Should You Start?

Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Chig Okonkwo (Tennessee Titans) finished the 2025 season averaging 5.6 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Dallas Goedert (Philadelphia Eagles) came in at 10.3 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Dallas Goedert carries a 4.7-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.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Chig Okonkwo had 56 catches for 560 yards; Dallas Goedert posted 60 for 591. 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 scheduling note: Chig Okonkwo is off Week 10 and Dallas Goedert Week 9. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Dallas Goedert at a discount because your league-mates undervalue tight end production, do it. Chig Okonkwo is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Chig Okonkwo (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
