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.

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.

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.
