Proven TE in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
HoldOkonkwo caught 56 passes for 560 yards in 2025, finishing TE22. He scored 12% more than his touches said he should. Age 27 TE — the profile is quiet, not loud. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
