Chig Okonkwo vs Dallas Goedert
Dallas Goedert holds a 37% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR OKONKWO
Chig Okonkwo gives you a 4-5 year age runway over Goedert with similar market cost, which matters at TE where value can evaporate fast after 30. If he lands/settles into a steady starter role in WAS, his athletic profile supports a path to a top-10 TE outcome at a discount. In a Superflex market, paying slightly more for youth and optionality is defensible because you can always pivot later if he pops.
THE CASE FOR GOEDERT
Dallas Goedert is the better bet to score points immediately: he’s a proven NFL starter with established chemistry in PHI and a track record of usable weekly ceilings. For contenders, bankable routes/snap share and red-zone involvement tend to matter more than age curves at TE. His price being slightly lower than Chig makes him a clean value if you’re buying 2026 points instead of 2028 projections.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Goedert—take the cheaper, more reliable weekly starter for a title window unless you’re truly set at TE and can afford volatility.
Chig—pay the small premium for the age runway and upside, but only if you believe he’ll hold a stable starting role.
At a 6.3% gap, treat them as a tier tie: pick based on timeline (Goedert now, Chig later).

Superflex?
In Superflex, TE premiums are muted relative to QB/WR value, so prioritize whichever best fits your window—Goedert for immediate production, Chig for longer insulation.
