Who Should I Start? Chimere Dike or Arian Smith

Saturday, November 22, 12:24 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike (chest) is off the injury report and good to go for his team's Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Dike has a major opportunity to expand his role in the Titans' passing game, as Tennessee wideouts Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is out for Week 12, and Calvin Ridley (leg) was lost for the season in Week 11. Still, Dike faces a tough test in the Seahawks' defense. Through 11 weeks, Seattle is allowing the third-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.2) in the NFL. Across 10 games this season, Dike has provided modest production with 23 catches for 208 yards and one touchdown on 36 targets. Still, with Ridley and Ayomanor sidelined, Dike could emerge as the number one option for Titans quarterback Cameron Ward. Dike profiles as a low-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 12.

New York Jets wide receiver Arian Smith had his lowest snap share since Week 1 in the team's 27-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 11. Smith played just 15.8% of the snaps and ran 21.2% of the routes, both significantly lower than his season averages. It seems the rookie wideout has moved into a depth role after the Jets acquired two wide receivers at the trade deadline in John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. Smith wasn't a fantasy-relevant option to begin with, catching six of 10 targets for 47 yards in 10 games this season.
