Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Bryce Oliver hauled in three passes for 52 yards and two touchdowns in the last preseason win over New Orleans. It was a mini breakout for the undrafted pass-catcher out of Youngstown State, who was having a quiet game until quarterback Malik Willis started looking his way in the fourth quarter, which led to two scores, along with the game-winner with 1:25 remaining. Oliver was not expected to compete for an active roster spot, but this performance definitely gives general manager Ran Carthon something to think about. Even so, with Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks, Tyler Boyd, Kyle Philips, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine having locked up roster spots at WR, it's tough to see a situation in which Oliver ends up on the active 53-man roster for the Titans. He is nowhere near any fantasy radar heading into the 2024-25 season.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Bryce Oliver may have just played his way into a roster spot after a big day in the team's final preseason win over the New Orleans Saints. The rookie was targeted three times and he caught all three for 52 yards and two touchdowns. Malik Willis delivered both scores with the first one being a 34-yard strike during their first drive of the fourth quarter. Then, during their second drive, Oliver caught a five-yard pass in the redzone for his second touchdown of the day. On the unofficial depth chart before this game, Oliver was near the end of the receiving corps, but he could have just moved up a couple of spots after this performance. With that being said, he's not likely to see the field that often behind their upgraded receiving group, so he would be more of a stash player in dynasty formats.
