Chimere Dike News
Tuesday, July 21, 11:21 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike outplayed expectations during his rookie season. The 24-year-old was primarily drafted in the fourth round in 2025 to contribute on special teams as a punt and kick returner. However, Dike hauled in 48 catches for 423 yards and four touchdowns on 74 targets after the team battled injuries all season. This offseason, the Titans fortified the receiving depth chart by adding Wan'Dale Robinson, Carnell Tate, and restructuring Calvin Ridley's contract to keep him in Tennessee. Additionally, Dike will be battling with Elic Ayomanor and Gunnar Helm for targets in a crowded passing offense. While many are projecting Cam Ward to take his game to the next level, it has yet to be seen if he can sustain multiple fantasy-relevant pass-catchers. Dike will face stiff competition to earn targets this season in hopes of avoiding getting lost in a deep receiving room.

Chris Brazzell II News
Wednesday, July 22, 9:23 AM
Anthony Rizzuti of Panthers Wire writes that Carolina Panthers rookie third-round wide receiver Chris Brazzell II will be competing with Xavier Legette for the WR3 role this summer in training camp behind second-year wideout Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Legette, a former first-rounder, is running out of chances to prove himself, so he could quickly fall out of favor if Brazzell impresses during camp. The University of Tennessee will bring more of a speed element to the Panthers' offense, which is something they've been missing, so that could help set him apart from Legette as he heads into his first NFL campaign. Brazzell impressed head coach Dave Canales while developing chemistry with QB Bryce Young during offseason workouts, but he'll need to keep it going when the pads go on in camp. In 2025 with the Volunteers, Brazzell was an All-SEC first-team selection after catching 62 passes for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games. He's just inside RotoBaller's top-100 WR rankings for 2026, but his ADP could skyrocket if he's named the WR3 before the start of the season.
