Chimere Dike News
Monday, August 17, 7:47 PM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike is rotating behind the team's starters during training camp and in the preseason game. In his rookie season, Dike had 48 receptions on 74 targets for 423 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. After a strong rookie season as the WR2 behind fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor, the Titans loaded up on receivers, pushing Dike down the totem pole. They added 1,000-yard receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, drafted Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick, and should have veteran Calvin Ridley healthy. During their preseason win over the 49ers, Dike played five of 22 snaps, ranking fifth behind the four starters. With added competition and the team's lack of production at quarterback, Dike is a pass-at-value in fantasy this season.

Germie Bernard News
Thursday, August 13, 7:32 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard hauled in four of five targets for 51 receiving yards in a 28-9 preseason win over the Green Bay Packers. Bernard, a second-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, saw time with the first-team offense and immediately looked the part. He caught quarterback Mason Rudolph's first pass attempt and later impressed with a 25-yard catch-and-run that saw him shed multiple defenders. Bernard nearly scored a touchdown early in the second quarter but couldn't get his second foot in bounds despite a valiant effort. The Alabama product is unlikely to be drafted in many fantasy formats this fall, but he is a name to monitor as the season progresses given the uncertainty surrounding the Steelers' wide receiver room behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. He'll get his next preseason action against the New York Jets next Friday.
