2026 Outlook

Positioned as a breakout tight end candidate in Washington's new offense with Jayden Daniels at QB. Okonkwo has demonstrated consistent production after the catch throughout his career despite playing in weak offensive situations. With Daniels providing a quality passer and Terry McLaurin drawing the top defensive attention, Okonkwo could see the volume needed to reach TE1 conversation. The efficiency foundation is already there—opportunity is the main unlock. (per 10 Fantasy Football Bold Predictions & Hot Takes for 2026)
