Player Outlook
Okwuegbunam could not survive a roster crunch in Denver that included Greg Dulcich and Adam Trautman, and he was traded to the Eagles prior to the final cut deadline. He should not be rostered in redraft leagues. In deeper Dynasty leagues, Okwuegbunam is a hold at least through September to see if he can gain any traction with his new team.

  • Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: One target but no catches

    Okwuegbunam failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers. Okwuegbunam saw the field for 31 offensive snaps, outpacing the 24 snaps he'd played through the first 12 weeks and those of fellow tight ends Jack Stoll (24) and Grant Calcaterra (13). The larger workload didn't lead to any production for Okwuegbunam, however, and with Dallas Goedert potentially ready to return from a forearm injury next week against the Cowboys, Okwuegbunam's fantasy appeal will shrink still further.

  • Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: Sitting Thursday

    Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Patriots. Okwuegbunam was traded to Philadelphia from the Broncos in late August and he'll now sit for the second straight contest to open the 2023 campaign. It's possible that with one more week of practice under his belt, the tight end makes his Eagles debut in Week 3 versus the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

  • Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: Not taking the field

    Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Patriots. Okwuegbunam will sit out the season opener as the Eagles will opt to go with Grant Calcaterra and Jack Stoll behind starter Dallas Goedert at tight end.

  • Eagles' Albert Okwuegbunam: Dealt to Philly

    The Broncos traded Okwuegbunam to the Eagles on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. After reporters Tuesday morning said the tight end would be waived, the Broncos ultimately were able to deal him for a late-round 2025 pick swap instead. Okwuegbunam could share TE snaps with Jack Stoll if starter Dallas Goedert misses any time for the Eagles this year.

  • Albert Okwuegbunam: Being waived by Broncos

    The Broncos are in line to waive Okwuegbunam, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports. Okwuegbunam caught seven of eight targets for 109 yards and a TD in Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams, but the Broncos are moving on from the 2020 fourth-rounder ahead of Week 1. With Okwuegbunam no longer in the mix, the team's tight end corps is currently led by Adam Trautman, Greg Dulcich and Chris Manhertz.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Stands out at critical time

    Okwuegbunam brought in seven of eight targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 41-0 preseason win over the Rams on Saturday. Facing the prospect of playing his last game in a Broncos uniform, Okwuegbunam was able to make a convincing case for retaining a roster spot with team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals. Okwuegbunam got the start and immediately made an impact, making 17- and eight-yard grabs on the opening drive and consistently connecting with Jarrett Stidham throughout the first half, including on an eight-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter. Whether Okwuegbunam did enough to lock down a reserve tight end role will soon be evident, given final cuts must be made by Tuesday.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: On roster bubble

    Okwuegbunam's future with the Broncos could come down to how he performs in Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams, as special-teams coach Ben Kotwica hinted he is on the roster bubble, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. The Broncos are seemingly set at tight end with Adam Trautman and Greg Dulcich, so Okwuegbunam's route to the the 53-man roster appears to be via special teams. He has apparently logged some good practices over the past week, so his final test may be in Saturday's exhibition game.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Finishes disappointing third season

    Okwuegbunam caught 10 of 18 targets for 95 yards and one touchdown while playing eight games in the 2022 season. Okwuegbunam entered the 2022 campaign with high expectations following the departure of Noah Fant and arrival of quarterback Russell Wilson in the offseason. However, the veteran tight end was a complete afterthought in the Broncos' struggling passing attack throughout the season, as he appeared in only eight games. Okwuegbunam eventually ceded No. 1 tight end duties to rookie Greg Dulcich (hamstring), who became a reliable option for Wilson during stretches of the season. Looking ahead to next year, Dulcich figures to lead Denver's tight end corps, but the 24-year-old Okwuegbunam may have a chance to prove himself. A new coaching staff should offer him a fresh start with the chance to earn more playing time in 2023. Okwuegbunam is entering the final year of his rookie deal and is set to become a free agent in 2024.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Week 18 Waiver Priority List

    Remember when Okwuegbunam was supposed to be a breakout candidate? That never happened, especially when Greg Dulcich emerged for the Broncos, but Dulcich (hamstring) is on injured reserve now, which allowed Okwuegbunam the chance to step up in Week 17 at Kansas City. He had three catches for 45 yards and a touchdown on six targets, and hopefully he can have another productive game in Week 18 against the Chargers. It's not an easy matchup, but Okwuegbunam is worth a flier in deeper leagues now that he's back on the radar for the Broncos.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Finds end zone in loss

    Okwuegbunam caught three of six targets for 45 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. Okwuegbunam stepped into a 53 percent offensive snap share in the contest with rookie Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on injured reserve. Sunday marked only the seventh game the veteran has appeared in this season, and his snap percentage was his highest since Week 2. Additionally, Okwuegbunam's touchdown was his first trip to the end zone of the 2022 campaign. After entering the season as a candidate to take a major step forward, the season has been one to forget for the 24-year-old. Okwuegbunam should enter a Week 18 matchup with the Chargers looking to end the year on a high note as Denver's de facto No. 1 tight end.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Healthy scratch against Rams

    Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Okwuegbunam hasn't seen much playing time in recent weeks, and he'll be a healthy scratch for Sunday's Christmas Day matchup. As long as the Broncos' other tight ends remain healthy, Okwuegbunam is unlikely to see much of a role late in the regular season.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: No injury designation

    Okwuegbunam (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City. Okwuegbunam landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, but he upgraded to full participation Friday and is ready to go for the Week 14 divisional matchup. The tight end has been a healthy scratch since Week 5, but he could return to the field in Week 14 with reserve tight end Andrew Beck (hamstring) sidelined. The Broncos could certainly benefit from the addition of Okwuegbunam's size (6-foot-5, 258 pounds) and pass-catching skills on offense, as Denver won't have any wide receivers taller than 6-foot-2 on the field Sunday with 6-foot-4 wideout and No. 1 target Courtland Sutton (hamstring) also ruled out.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Limited will illness

    Okwuegbunam (illness) was a limited paticipant in practice Thursday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports. Okwuegbunam's limited participation is an encouraging sign that he'll be able to overcome this ailment before Denver's final injury report Friday. The third-year tight end caught seven of 11 targets for 50 yards over the first five weeks of the season, but he's been a healthy scratch since the emergence of rookie Greg Dulcich in Week 6. However, coach Nathaniel Hackett said Thursday that Okwuegbunam could be active again for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, as he could help supplement the team's depleted receiving corps with wideout Courtland Sutton considered doubtful to play with a hamstring injury.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Could suit up Sunday

    Okwuegbunam may be active Sunday against the Chiefs for the first time since Week 5, according to head coach Nathanial Hackett, Zac Stevens of the DNVR.com reports. Okwuegbunam has been a healthy scratch since the Week 6 debut of Greg Dulcich. The former's inability to succeed in a blocking role has left him stuck behind Eric Tomlinson and Eric Saubert on the team's positional depth chart, while Dulcich handles more of a receiving role for the team at tight end. However, with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) considered doubtful for Sunday's game with the Chiefs, Okwuegbunam could find himself active and taking on a wide receiver role in the contest, as the Broncos would be lacking size at the position if Sutton were to sit.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Inactive for third straight game

    Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Okwuegbunam will be a healthy scratch for the third game in a row, and he'll likely continue to find himself outside of Denver's offensive game plans for the foreseeable future with rookie third-round pick Greg Dulcich having taking over as the Broncos' top tight end. Because he offers limited utility as a blocker or on special teams, Okwuegbunam also finds himself behind Eric Tomlinson, Andrew Beck and Eric Saubert on the depth chart. The 24-year-old Okwuegbunam could surely benefit from a change of scenery, and he could be a candidate to get dealt ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline if the Broncos find a suitor in need of a tight end with some pass-catching upside.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Another healthy scratch

    Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Jets, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. For a second straight game, the Broncos have made Okwuegbunam a healthy scratch, instead going with the quartet of Greg Dulcich, Eric Saubert, Eric Tomlinson and Andrew Beck at tight end. Okwuegbunam's next opportunity to suit up arrives next Sunday at Jacksonville.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Taking seat Monday

    Okwuegbunam (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday at the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Okwuegbunam's usage has wavered all season, ranging from two to 66 percent of the offensive snaps and zero to six targets per game. Now, he won't play at all in Week 6. The Broncos will trot out Eric Saubert, rookie Greg Dulcich, Eric Tomlinson and Andrew Beck at tight end, while Okwuegbunam's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Jets.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Plays 15 snaps in loss

    Okwuegbunam caught his only target for five yards in Thursday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts. Okwuegbunam's precipitous fall from fantasy relevance continued Thursday, as the veteran tight end was on the field for just 21 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, the lowest snap share of all Denver tight ends. Teammate Eric Saubert once again led the Broncos' tight end room in both snaps (41) and targets (7). However, Okwuegbunam's 15 offensive snaps were also behind Eric Tomlinson (35) and Andrew Beck (19) in the tight end pecking order. The 24-year-old Okwuegbunam's lack of playing time is a major concern, and it's unlikely things will get much better with rookie Greg Dulcich (hamstring) nearing a return from injured reserve. Okwuegbunam should remain off the fantasy radar as the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 6.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Plays just one snap in loss

    Okwuegbunam played one offensive snap and didn't record any counting stats during Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders. Okwuegbunam played 42 offensive snaps in the team's season-opening loss to the Seahawks, but he's seen his snap count decrease in each of the past three games and hardly played at all in Week 4. Eric Saubert led the Broncos' tight end room with 41 offensive snaps against Las Vegas, while Eric Tomlinson (21) and Andrew Beck (12) both garnered solid roles as well. However, Saubert was the only tight end involved in the passing attack, catching one of two targets for 25 yards. Greg Dulcich, a rookie third-round pick, could be activated from injured reserve as early as Week 6, and his presence may make Okwuegbunam's path back into the offensive game plan even more difficult.

  • Broncos' Albert Okwuegbunam: Catches one pass in win

    Okwuegbunam caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 11-10 win over the 49ers. Okwuegbunam continued his disappointing start to the 2022 season, seeing just two targets for the second straight week. What's more concerning is that the 24-year-old played on just 24 of the Broncos' 74 offensive snaps, 11 fewer than fellow tight ends Eric Saubert and Eric Tomlinson. Fantasy managers hoping for Okwuegbunam to take a major step forward this season will have to take a wait-and-see approach as Denver works to repair an offense that has been disjointed through three weeks. Until then, the 6-foot-5, 258-pounder will be extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 4.
