Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) was listed as limited in the team's practice on Wednesday as he continues to battle through a hamstring injury, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. While it's unknown if Ayomanor will be able to return in a Week 13 divisional matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday, he's on the right track with a limited practice on Wednesday. The 22-year-old pass-catcher was unable to play in the Week 12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, which allowed fellow rookie Chimere Dike to work as Tennessee's WR1. Remember, veteran Calvin Ridley (leg) is out for the year with a broken fibula. If the fourth-round rookie gets cleared to return this weekend, he'll be in play as a WR4/flex in deeper fantasy football leagues. Through his first 10 NFL games, Ayomanor has 28 receptions on 59 targets for 334 yards and two touchdowns.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 12 matchup with the Seahawks. In a season that has produced little offensive firepower, Ayomanor leads the Titans in targets (59), receiving yards (334), and receiving touchdowns (2). His 28 receptions through ten games trail only tight end Chig Okonkwo (32). With veteran Calvin Ridley (leg) placed on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday, Okonkwo and fellow rookie Chimere Dike figure to be the focal points of the Titans' passing offense. While the Seahawks' defense has been smothering for most of the year, the one spot they have shown susceptibility to is the tight end position, making Okonkwo the only Titan worthy of fantasy consideration this week.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is missing his second straight practice on Thursday due to a hamstring issue, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. The rookie wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury during Tennessee's Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans, and his status looks to be very much in question for the team's Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Tennessee also lost veteran wideout Calvin Ridley (leg) to a season-ending leg injury in Week 11. Ayomanor has recorded at least six targets in three straight games, so his absence would open up target opportunities for Titans wideouts Chimere Dike, Van Jefferson, Mason Kinsey, and James Proche II. Still, it will be tough for fantasy managers to trust any of Tennessee's unproven wide receivers against a tough Seahawks defense in Week 12.
Nov 20, 2025 4:09 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is not participating in Wednesday's practice session, according to Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com. Kuharsky reports that it may be difficult for Ayomanor to play on Sunday against the Seahawks due to the hamstring injury suffered during the Titans' loss to the Texans in Week 11. The rookie fourth-rounder caught only two of his six targets for 11 yards in the game. Ayomanor would have a great opportunity to emerge as the Titans' top wideout with Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the season, but his status will need to be monitored as the week goes along. If he is unable to play, fellow rookie Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson should see more opportunities, but neither can be trusted in fantasy lineups.
Nov 19, 2025 4:13 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has had a decent rookie season through 10 games, and with Calvin Ridley (leg) suffering a season-ending injury in Week 11 against the Texans, he could be in line for more opportunities. Fellow rookie wideout Chimere Dike also suffered a concussion in the game, leaving Ayomanor and veteran Van Jefferson as the two top wide receivers for Tennessee. Ayomanor has earned a consistent number of targets in every game this season, but the inconsistencies of fellow rookie Cameron Ward, along with his own poor play, have resulted in underwhelming production. The touchdown upside is not high for any player in this offense at the moment, but the rookie fourth-rounder has a good chance to lead the Titans in targets in Week 12 against the Seahawks. Ayomanor is worth adding off the waiver wire if available, but would be a risky play against a stout Seattle defense.
Nov 18, 2025 4:30 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's Week 11 loss against the Houston Texans, according to Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. Ayomanor played through the injury, as he was on the field for 84.7 percent of the snaps and never exited with any sort of injury designation. The rookie finished the game with six targets, two catches, and 11 receiving yards. Although he struggled to deliver meaningful production, he did see a decent target share after Calvin Ridley (leg) and Chimere Dike (chest, concussion) were both ruled out. Ridley is done for the season, and Dike is at risk of missing next week's game in concussion protocol. As a result, Ayomanor has a chance to lead the Titans' receiving corps against the Seahawks in Week 12, assuming he's healthy enough to suit up. Van Jefferson should also earn increased opportunities going forward.
Nov 16, 2025 5:24 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has had a solid rookie season through nine games, leading the team in receiving with 26 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns on 53 targets. Ayomanor has recorded multiple receptions in every game, but has only eclipsed 50 receiving yards twice in a struggling Titans offense. The rookie out of Stanford posted back-to-back games with touchdowns in Weeks 2 and three, scoring a combined 29.4 PPR points. However, in six games since then, Ayomanor has totaled just 37.6 total fantasy points. The rookie wideout could be an intriguing add off the waiver wire for Week 11 as he may see an increase in targets and production after the team's Week 10 bye, while continuing to build a rapport with fellow rookie Cameron Ward, but he's also been outproduced by Chimere Dike in recent weeks.
Nov 11, 2025 1:44 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor will once again be asked to step up with this offense shorthanded this weekend. Top wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out and will miss his second straight game. Last week, Ayomanor struggled as he hauled in two of his five targets for 29 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie wideout has failed to surpass 30 receiving yards in each of the last three games. The playing time will be there, but nothing seems to be going right for this Titans offense at the moment. Ayomanor might be able to offer flex value in PPR formats for the Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Oct 24, 2025 9:39 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is expected to handle an increased workload against the New England Patriots in Week 7 after Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was ruled out for the contest. Ridley missed most of last week's game, too, and Ayomanor benefited, catching three passes for 27 yards on a season-high 93 percent snap share. The catch total was nothing special, but that large snap share indicates that Ayomanor is on the field for almost every play, and that his target share should start to increase as a result. The Patriots have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, leaving Ayomanor in the WR3/flex range.
Oct 18, 2025 9:21 AM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has recorded 17 catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns on 34 targets through the first six games of his career. While the 22-year-old has yet to have a signature breakout game, Ayomanor has been a consistent feature in the Titans' offense and has earned at least five targets in five out of six games. With veteran Titans wideout Calvin Ridley (hamstring) potentially facing missed time due to a hamstring injury, Ayomanor could be poised to take over as the team's WR1 in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. Tennessee's anemic offense caps Ayomanor's upside, but he should still be rostered in most fantasy leagues and could be a deep-league flex option in Week 7.
Oct 14, 2025 9:51 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor had a two-catch, 18-yard showing in the Week 5 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. While that performance didn't sit well with fantasy managers, the rookie has played relatively well in an offense that's struggled throughout the 2025 campaign. In Ayomanor's first five games in the league, he's totaled 14 grabs (29 targets) for 169 yards. He also leads the team with two receiving touchdowns. With the Titans coming off their first win of the year, Tennessee will look to pick up another victory on Sunday against the Raiders. Without question, Las Vegas hasn't looked the best either, so Cam Ward and company have a chance to get something going on the offensive end. However, even with a favorable opportunity on the horizon, Ayomanor's lack of volume this season means he'll need to find the end zone, or fantasy managers will likely be extremely disappointed. With that in mind, the 22-year-old can be viewed as a desperation flex choice in 12-team leagues and up.
Oct 10, 2025 11:19 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has been one of the few bright spots for this offense through four games. It has been a tough beginning to the season for the Titans offense. However, Ayomanor has been decent with 12 receptions for 151 yards and two touchdowns through four games. The rookie wideout saw seven targets last week, but only hauled in two of them for 44 yards. The Titans offense is a complete mess, but Ayomanor has good upside. He should be in the conversation as a flex option for the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Oct 3, 2025 9:22 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has shown plenty of promise through four games of his NFL career. The fourth rounder out of Stanford impressively earned a starting role right out of the gate and hasn't stopped there. He's arguably been the team's best skill player, catching 12 of a team-leading 25 targets for 151 yards and two of the team's three touchdowns on the season. Ayomanor has established great trust with fellow rookie Cam Ward as they've connected on multiple throws back to the opposite side of the field, including their first touchdown. Despite how bleak the Titans' offense has been, Ayomanor has earned five targets in every game and has managed to produce for fantasy. If the offensive situation improves at all, in addition to the schedule lightening up a bit, Ayomanor could be in a good spot to emerge over the next few weeks.
Oct 1, 2025 12:13 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has emerged as one of quarterback Cameron Ward's favorite targets, as well as a top scoring option within the team's offense. This bodes well for his fantasy outlook ahead of a Week 4 divisional battle against the Houston Texans. Ayomanor now has eight catches and two touchdowns over his last two games, ranking as the overall WR19 in PPR leagues during that span. While we can't count on Ayomanor to score a touchdown every week, and therefore should not view him as a top-24 fantasy receiver, he is still on the radar as a potential starter in leagues with at least 12 teams. That's especially true as Calvin Ridley continues to struggle; the 30-year-old has 21 targets but just eight catches, ranking as the overall WR71. Ayomanor is arguably the top target in the Titans' offense, and an anticipated negative game script suggests that he should command at least five or six targets this weekend. He's an intriguing WR3/flex option, especially against a Texans defense allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.
Sep 27, 2025 12:21 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor hauled in four of his five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in their 41-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. Ayomanor continues a productive start to his NFL career with five targets in each game and scoring again after his highlight first touchdown last week. He tied veteran Calvin Ridley for the team lead in targets in Week 1 with seven, tied Ridley and Chig Okonkwo in Week 2 with six, and then dropped down slightly to third against Indianapolis behind Okonkwo and Ridley with five. So the fourth-round rookie is running a full number of routes and earning volume right out of the gate. There is a lot to like with Ayomanor's start in the NFL and his prospect profile, putting him in the WR3/WR4 range with some upside moving forward, but Tennessee's offense will likely continue to struggle moving the ball.
Sep 24, 2025 12:10 AM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor carries a sleeper FLEX appeal heading into a Week 3 title against the Indianapolis Colts. The fourth-round rookie was competing for a role throughout training camp and the preseason, and has already emerged as a full-time player in the offense. In Week 1, Ayomanor saw an impressive seven targets, but was only able to catch two for a mere 13 yards, facing a tough Denver secondary. Then in Week 2, Ayomanor was able to find the back of the end zone for the first time in his career and bring in four of his six targets for 56 yards against a potent Los Angeles Rams defense. Given his emergence and increasing target share, managers in deeper 12+ team leagues should view Ayomanor as a viable FLEX option facing a Colts defense that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to the position this season. If he were to once again see a high target share, he could enter high-end WR3 status for Week 4.
Sep 20, 2025 9:23 AM EST
Late in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Rams, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward connected with receiver Elic Ayomanor for what would be the first touchdown of each of their careers. The pass came on a brilliant scrambling play by Ward that saw him throw the ball nearly 50 yards across the field as Ayomanor broke open in the endzone. On a day when Ward threw for less than 150 yards, his developing chemistry with Ayomanor was apparent, as his fellow rookie tied for the team lead in targets and receptions, and had only one fewer yard than Calvin Ridley. The Titans have opened the year against two of the stingier defenses in the league in the Broncos and Rams. Still, their offense has shown glimpses, and with the WR2 role seemingly locked up, Ayomanor is a priority add in all league formats.
Sep 15, 2025 2:59 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor finished second on his team in targets (seven) in Tennessee's 20-12 Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos. Ayomanor only recorded two catches for 13 yards on those targets. Still, it's encouraging to see him draw so many looks from Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward in the pairings' first time sharing the field in a regular-season game. Ayomanor and the Titans' passing offense face another tough matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. The Rams held the Houston Texans to 188 receiving yards in Week 1 and should be able to put significant pressure on Ward, who was sacked six times in his Week 1 matchup against the Broncos. Ayomanor should not be started by fantasy managers in Week 2, but he's a name to monitor as a long-term play if he keeps earning a significant target share in Tennessee.
Sep 12, 2025 10:48 AM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is emerging as the clear-cut WR2 in the offense. While his Week 1 box score was modest, with only two catches for 13 yards against the Denver Broncos, the usage tells a different story. Ayomanor drew seven targets, far outpacing veteran Tyler Lockett (1) and fellow rookie Chimere Dike (1). Even with the Titans leaning heavily on 12 personnel, Ayomanor was on the field for 79% of the offensive snaps. That kind of snap share for a rookie in his first NFL game is highly encouraging. With quarterback Cam Ward expected to settle in and gain confidence as the season progresses, Ayomanor profiles as a strong buy-low candidate in fantasy. The Titans face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, a defense that dominated Houston in their opener, so Ayomanor isn't a recommended fantasy start just yet. However, if his role as WR2 continues, a breakout game feels inevitable.
Sep 11, 2025 11:00 AM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver saw seven targets come his way on Sunday, trailing only first-round picks Travis Hunter and Tetairoa McMillan amongst rookies at the position. Unfortunately, he was only able to convert those looks into two receptions for 13 yards against a stout Denver defense. Ayomanor's heavy workload was likely the result of top option Calvin Ridley being shadowed by All-Pro corner Patrick Surtain II. Still, the thought has been that one of the Titans' rookie receivers would have a chance to emerge on a relatively weak depth chart. After one week, it appears that Ayomanor will have a substantial role. While the Titans' passing game was completely ineffective on Sunday, brighter days should be ahead with Cam Ward under center, and Ayomanor is worth a stash in deep leagues.
