Foster Moreau or Okonkwo?

Who do you like more?

Okonkwo is getting more and more involved. Moreau is playing nearly all the snaps, but isn't putting up spectacular numbers. I am considering dropping Moreau for Okonkwo.

My 3 main TE's are all injured, but Goedert and hopefully Waller will be back next week, so hopefully this is a 1 week thing.

If you have Goedert and Waller, i'd take a chance on Okonkwo who has interesting upside and is hella athletic for a TE. Keep in mind at some point Renfrow comes back from IR and gobbles up some targets, though McDaniels hasn't been using him like Gruden did last year

I drafted Okonkwo in all my leagues with a late rookie pick. I really like his upside and skillset. He will likely never pan out but give me the high ceiling TE versus just another shaky week to week option.

If you have Waller, I'd rather keep Moreau. If Waller goes down again, you have a ready made back-up starter who has proven he has a decent floor. Okonkwo is nothing solid at this point.

If you didn't have Waller, it would be a little more of a toss-up because Moreau's value diminishes with a healthy Waller. While Okonkwo's value (lower as it is, compared to Moreau when he starts) is steady. Looking to 2023 and beyond, I like Moreau better because for now he looks like the successor to Waller and Waller looks like he might be on the downside.

How about Okonkwo vs Likely?

Appreciate the input. I actually dropped Winston for Okonkwu. So I currently have both Moreau and Okonkwu. Been holding Winston for far too long probably. Will keep Moreau for this week and probably drop him next week if Waller is back.

Likely has a shot to succeed even with Andrews based on the system. Likely seems a bit safer.

Give me Okonkwo all day over Moreau. I slightly prefer Chig over Likely based on opportunity and Mark Andrews being in the way

Okonkwo over Moreau easily for me. We've already seen what Moreau realistically can be, and it's not that impressive. Okonkwo has already flashed legit upside. Since no competitive team is realistically starting either, I'll take the one who has a much better shot of being an impact fantasy player.

As for Okonkwo vs. Likely, I'll shade toward Okonkwo. They were drafted four picks apart in the NFL draft, so there isn't a meaningful difference between their draft stock. Likely looked like the real deal in the preseason and has looked very good at times in real games this season. He's blocked by Andrews, of course, and yet there might be space for two TEs to succeed there. Unlikely, though, given the nature of the passing offense.

To me, Okonkwo has a much better opportunity in front of him since he isn't blocked by anyone of significance. I think we'll know by the end of 2023 if he's a legit player (not just prospect) or not. With Likely, though, it might take 3+ years before we really get to see who and what he is. Put the two on the same team, and I'd have a slight lean to Likely. Given their situations, I'd rather Okonkwo since it should be a faster time period to know if he's likely to become an impact fantasy TE.
