Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike (chest) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice despite leaving the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans early with a chest injury. Dike should be fine to play in Week 12 versus the visiting Seattle Seahawks in a game in which the Titans are probably going to have to throw often. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday after getting hurt on Sunday, and Calvin Ridley (leg) is done for the season after breaking his leg. The 23-year-old Dike could be in line for a heavy target load this weekend against Seattle, which would make him an attractive flex consideration in fantasy football. The fourth-rounder has caught only three passes for 19 yards in the last two games, but he did have 11 catches on 12 targets for 163 yards and a touchdown in Weeks 7 and 8 combined.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike (chest, concussion) was officially ruled out of Sunday's Week 11 contest with a concussion, but he also suffered a chest contusion in the loss to Houston, according to Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. He finished the game with three targets, two catches, and 14 receiving yards. There's currently no timetable for his return, as Dike must clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he can return to action. He will also require treatment and time to rehab his chest injury. When Dike does return, he'll likely step up as the Titans' No. 1 receiver after Calvin Ridley (leg) suffered a season-ending fibula fracture. In the meantime, Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Van Jefferson will lead the Titans' receiving corps.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Houston Texans. He finished with three targets, two catches, and 14 receiving yards. It seemed like Dike would have an opportunity for a big game with Calvin Ridley (ankle) exiting early, but that never came to fruition as the rookie left with an injury of his own. Given that Dike is now in concussion protocol, he faces an uphill battle to play in next Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson will earn more opportunities as long as Dike and Ridley are sidelined.
Nov 16, 2025 3:14 PM EST
Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has recorded 21 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown on 33 targets. In his final three games before Tennessee's Week 10 bye, Dike hauled in 12 receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. However, the Titans have been playing without veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) since Week 6. Ridley has been able to practice in a limited capacity so far this week and could be on track to make his return in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. Dike may have shown the team enough during Ridley's absence to remain a featured piece of the passing game. However, the veteran's return to the lineup will still likely impact Dike's target share. Dike profiles as a desperation flex option at best for fantasy managers in Week 11 against Houston.
Nov 14, 2025 10:29 AM EST
Before his team's Week 10 bye, Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike appeared to be working his way into a larger role in the offense. In his final three games before the bye, Dike recorded 12 catches for 168 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. The 24-year-old also played 89% and 87% of Tennessee's offensive snaps in their final two games before the bye. The Titans could be getting veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) back from a hamstring injury in Week 11 against the Houston Texans, which could definitely impact Dike's playing time. Still, the 1-8 Titans have every reason to lean into their youth and see what they have in Dike. In fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams, Dike should be a waiver-wire target.
Nov 11, 2025 11:11 AM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike recorded a 67-yard punt return for a touchdown in Week 9 but was otherwise held in check, finishing the game with one catch for five yards on three targets. Dike had recorded 11 catches for 163 yards and a touchdown over his last two games heading into the week, so his Week 9 production was a bit of a letdown for fantasy managers. Still, the 23-year-old's playing time is trending in the right direction, as he's now played at least 87% of Tennessee's offensive snaps in each of its last two games. Dike appears to be emerging as a key weapon for Titans quarterback Cameron Ward. Tennessee's overall struggles as an offense limit Dike's fantasy ceiling, but he should still be rostered in all leagues with 12 or more teams as the Titans hit their Week 10 bye.
Nov 3, 2025 10:21 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike continues to ascend into one of the team's top offensive weapons ahead of Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie now has 11 catches, 163 yards, and one touchdown over his last two games, scoring over 16 points (PPR) in each of those contests. He has taken advantage of Calvin Ridley (hamstring) being sidelined, and he has also been more productive than Elic Ayomanor despite trailing the fellow rookie in snap count. Dike has earned both trust and public praise from the Titans' coaching staff, and it's clear that rookie quarterback Cameron Ward feels comfortable throwing him the football often. In an offense that will need to throw the ball a lot to stay competitive, being the primary target directly translates to fantasy football success. Dike should continue to rank as a WR3/flex with WR2 upside as long as Ridley remains sidelined. That remains the case this week as Tennessee enters as the underdog.
Nov 2, 2025 9:09 AM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike is coming off his best game of the season in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts, catching seven of eight targets for 93 yards. Dike has taken advantage of his opportunities, and that's been acknowledged by the team's offensive coordinator, Nick Holz, who said that he's "going to be a really good player in this league." The 23-year-old played a season high 88.1% of snaps and had an 86% route share, only trailing fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor. The fourth rounder out of Florida has elite 4.34 speed with the ability to win downfield and be a threat with the ball in his hands. With Tyler Lockett now with the Raiders and Calvin Ridley battling a hamstring injury, Dike could emerge as the team's top receiving option over the second half of the season.
Oct 29, 2025 9:31 AM EST
Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz said that rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has "really taken advantage of his opportunities" recently in the offense. Holz also mentioned that Dike is "going to be a really good player in this league," and the team is excited for what is to come for him this year. Dike played a season-high 89% of the offensive snaps in the Week 8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and he responded with a breakout performance, catching seven of his eight targets for 93 yards. The 23-year-old had his first career touchdown the previous week against the New England Patriots, catching all four of his targets for 70 yards in that contest. With Tyler Lockett now in Vegas, Dike should continue to be more involved in the passing attack in Tennessee, especially with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) injured. Dike is squarely on the radar for fantasy managers looking for a waiver-wire pickup at WR this week.
Oct 28, 2025 12:50 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike caught 7-of-8 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the hosting Indianapolis Colts. He added a yard on his lone carry and chipped in 175 yards on seven kick returns. The rookie surpassed former teammate Tyler Lockett as the team's preferred slot option a few weeks back and has steadily seen his snap share rise while he takes on a larger role in the offense. On Sunday, Dike ran on more snaps than fellow wideout Van Jefferson for the first time in 2025, leading Tennessee in receptions and yards -- tying for the team lead in targets. Calvin Ridley's (hamstring) return will dent some of the 23-year-old's value. However, he's clearly ascending and benefits from working closer to the line of scrimmage. Dike should be added in all 12-team formats.
Oct 27, 2025 11:54 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike came out of nowhere and posted a solid game against the New England Patriots last week. Before that game, Dike was held to two receptions or less and 17 or fewer receiving yards in every game. The rookie wideout hauled in all four of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Titans are once again going to be without top receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) this weekend. That means, Dike figures to have an increased role against the Indianapolis Colts. Possibly, Dike was a one-hit wonder, but he could offer flex appeal in certain formats this weekend.
Oct 24, 2025 9:50 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike had his best game as a pass catcher in Week 7 against New England, catching all four of his targets for 70 yards and his first touchdown as a pro. Dike now has at least two receptions in three straight games and continues to make an impact on special teams, leading the league in kick return yards. With veteran Calvin Ridley (hamstring) sidelined in Week 7, Dike ran a season-high 66.7% of the team's routes and hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass from fellow rookie Cameron Ward. Dike is a solid speculative add as the Titans go on the road to Indianapolis in Week 8.
Oct 22, 2025 9:29 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike stepped up with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) sidelined on Sunday against New England. The fourth-round pick from Florida played a season-high 57% of snaps and caught all four of his targets for 70 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Dike has multiple catches in three straight games and five of his last six. He should stay in a key role for the Titans as they look to develop a young core with rookie QB Cam Ward and rookie WR Elic Ayomanor, along with Dike. The Titans' offense could shift in the next few weeks with the trade deadline approaching and Mike McCoy now in place as the interim head coach. Dike has flashed enough upside, though, that he has to be included in the team's plans, and he is an interesting speculative pickup as the Titans head to Indy in Week 8 and try to keep up with the Colts.
Oct 21, 2025 8:05 AM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has been performing well and could see more opportunities. On Friday, head coach Brian Callahan said that he has liked what Dike has done and that he's earned more opportunities as a receiver. In the season opener, Dike had a limited role on the offensive side of the ball and was deployed primarily as a special teams player. In the few offensive snaps he saw, Dike saw one target but was unable to connect with it. He also took one carry for nine yards. As a returner, Dike totaled 144 yards on kickoffs and 12 on punts. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the former fourth-round pick's development as he could carve out a role in the Tennessee offense that lacks proven playmakers behind veteran Calvin Ridley. For now, he is best left as a stash option in dynasty/keeper formats. If Dike were to begin to emerge as a regular starter in Week 2, he could enter waiver wire territory in deep redraft leagues.
Sep 12, 2025 4:16 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike will begin the season as the team's punt returner, according to Titans General Manager Mike Borgonzi. Dike was an experienced return man in college at Florida and has reportedly looked good in practice. The rookie will have a tough time earning a heavy amount of snaps on offense early on, but he can be impactful on special teams. He earned two snaps with the starters in the team's last preseason game in the place of Van Jefferson. The fourth-rounder likely projects to be the primary backup to Tyler Lockett in the slot, and could emerge if he is productive with his touches. He isn't draftable in redraft leagues at this moment.
Aug 30, 2025 5:53 PM EST
Tennessee Titans' rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike recorded one reception for one yard on two targets in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings. Dike was not involved much on Friday, even with Calvin Ridley (soreness) not suiting up. Currently, he sits behind Ridley, Tyler Lockett, Van Jefferson, and fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor on the depth chart, but he appears to have established a solid role on special teams. Head coach Brian Callahan has spoken highly of Dike for his work as a returner, and on Friday against the Vikings, he backed it up with a 36-yard kick return.
Aug 24, 2025 7:18 PM EST
AtoZSports.com's Easton Freeze reports that the Tennessee Titans may alter the role that rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike played on the field during his time at college. The 23-year-old has speed for days and was deployed on a steady diet of nine routes during his tenure at the collegiate level. Rightfully so, when you consider he averaged a whopping 18.6 yards per reception -- good for a top-20 mark in the FBS. However, Freeze notes that Tennessee could opt to use him as a big-slot asset and that it wouldn't be surprising to see him garner a role early on in the offense due to his versatility. Dike's athleticism makes him an enticing option, and the Titans' lack of legitimate receiving weapons only furthers the intrigue. The rookie's playing time could be sparse to start, but he should get a decent chance at snaps eventually. He's an interesting dynasty dart-throw.
Jul 4, 2025 3:25 PM EST
The Tennessee Titans have signed fourth-round rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike to a four-year contract. Financial details have not yet been disclosed. Dike spent four seasons at Wisconsin, but culminated his collegiate career with the Florida Gators in 2024, recording 42 receptions for 783 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old is a burner, capable of separating early in the route with his speed, and offers Tennessee's offense a dimension they haven't displayed in some time. It's unlikely he plays a significant role in the early going, but the Titans' WR corps doesn't offer much competition for targets behind teammates Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett. Furthermore, Treylon Burks has yet to come on in his three seasons, and Dike provides more speed and explosiveness than Van Jefferson. He's a nice stash in dynasty formats for the time being.
Jun 7, 2025 3:43 PM EST
According to Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan, fourth-round rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike can play all three wide receiver positions and will get an opportunity at each spot this offseason. Dike spent last season with the Florida Gators, racking up 42 receptions for 783 yards and two touchdowns. He began his collegiate career at Wisconsin and spent four seasons in Madison. The 22-year-old flashed his speed during the pre-draft process, posting a 4.34 forty-yard dash time at the 2025 NFL Combine. The Titans have lacked high-end speed at the wideout spot in recent years, and Dike could have a chance to earn significant playing time in a young and unproven wide receiver room. If so, he'll help rookie quarterback Cam Ward get his career started in Nashville. At worst, Dike should heavily contribute on special teams.
