Chig Okonkwo vs Jake Ferguson
Jake Ferguson holds a 44% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/25/2026
THE CASE FOR OKONKWO
Okonkwo is the better bet to gain value because his current SF price bakes in modest expectations and any target spike can move him quickly. His athletic profile and YAC ability still give him week-winning upside if Washington’s TE usage consolidates or the scheme emphasizes the middle of the field. At 26.9, you’re not buying a project—you’re buying a cheap path to a startable TE with room for a meaningful market correction.
THE CASE FOR FERGUSON
Ferguson has already shown bankable weekly usability in Dallas and is priced accordingly as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2. He’s attached to a high-scoring offense and is a strong bet for steady routes and red-zone involvement, which is what you want from a contender TE. The 20.4% value gap is justified if you’re prioritizing floor and lineup certainty over theoretical ceiling.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Ferguson for contenders—pay the premium for the more reliable weekly role and scoring environment.
Okonkwo for rebuilders—cheaper exposure with a clearer chance to outperform cost and flip later.
If the price is within a small add (like a 3rd), take Ferguson; if it’s closer to a 2nd-plus gap, take Okonkwo.
