The Chargers worked out Okwuegbunam on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Okwuegbunam has been busy, working out with the Colts on Tuesday before having a workout with the Chargers on Friday. The Missouri product's most recent in-game action came in 2023 with the Eagles, when he appeared in four contests and didn't haul in his lone target across 55 offensive snaps. Okwuegbunam could find work with the Chargers' practice squad if Friday's tryout goes well.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
Okwuegbunam's 2022 season was a major disappointment, as the 2020 fourth-rounder finished with 10 catches for 95 yards and one touchdown while playing in only eight games. The 25-year-old had high expectations after Noah Fant's departure last offseason, but he was unable to take advantage of his impressive athleticism with limited opportunities. Okwuegbunam profiles as the No. 2 tight end behind Greg Dulcich, but his spot as the primary backup could be in danger. This offseason, the Broncos signed Adam Trautman, reuniting him with Denver's new head coach Sean Payton, whom he played under in New Orleans.
Denver’s offseason blockbuster deal with Seattle was the best thing that could have happened for Okwuegbunam’s fantasy value. Not only did he get a massive upgrade at quarterback with the acquisition of Russell Wilson, but Albert O also ascended to the top of the depth chart after the trade sent Noah Fant to Seattle. Okwuegbunam flashed receiving ability despite being blocked by Fant, and now he’ll get a chance to strut his stuff as the likely starter. A fourth-round pick in the 2020 Draft, Okwuegbunam caught 33 of 40 targets last year at 8.2 yards per target (11th among TE), becoming one of the better No. 2 tight ends in the league after an ACL tear ruined his rookie season. Among tight ends with at least 30 receptions, only Miami backup Durham Smythe (82.9 percent) had a higher catch rate than Okwuegbunam’s 82.5 percent. Before you get too excited, just keep in mind that no tight end playing with Wilson has topped 500 yards since Jimmy Graham in 2017. Then again, Okwuegbunam is probably the most talented pass catcher Wilson’s had to work with at that position in the last five years.
After Denver's Week 5 bye, it appeared that there was a concerted effort to get Okwuegbunam involved in the passing game. The 2020 fourth-rounder recorded 10 catches on 14 targets, including four red zone targets, in the team's first three games after the bye. Part of that was due to an injury to Noah Fant, who missed the first game of the aforementioned stretch, but even when Fant returned in the following contest, Okwuegbunam put together his best performance, catching all seven of his targets for 60 yards. An ACL tear in Week 9 ended his rookie season early, but Okwuegbunam should be available for training camp and profiles as Denver's No. 2 tight end behind Fant.
Denver's brass sought the opinion of Drew Lock before selecting his former teammate from Missouri. Okwuegbunam is an athletic marvel with 4.49-speed at nearly 260 pounds. He enjoyed his two best collegiate seasons while playing with Lock, amassing 17 receiving touchdowns, and figures to be TE3 with some red-zone upside in Year 1.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Generating trade interest
TEDenver Broncos
October 21, 2022
Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports that other teams have expressed interest in trading for Okwuegbunam.
ANALYSIS
Okwuegbunam's a logical trade candidate for the Broncos, as he entered the season as the team's projected starter at tight end but found himself on the sidelines as a healthy scratch in Week 6 while rookie tight end Greg Dulcich caught a touchdown in his NFL debut. Now that external interest in Albert O has been confirmed, it wouldn't be surprising if a trade materializes before the Nov. 1 deadline.
