Chimere Dike Starting to Stand Out At Training Camp

Thursday, August 6, 5:48 PM

After a quiet start to training camp for Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike, the second-year receiver has begun to stand out. Dike has shown solid zone reading and has been strong after the catch in both the return game and as a receiver. As a rookie, Dike hauled in 48 of 74 targets for 423 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games last season. The team added two new receivers, first-round rookie Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson, who operated mostly in the slot with the New York Giants, and should have veteran Calvin Ridley back as well. Despite Dike practicing well, his role in 2026 will mostly be as a backup slot receiver and a returner, where he shined in 2025. Dike should be undrafted in most fantasy leagues this season unless Robinson is injured.

Isaac TeSlaa News

Isaac TeSlaa Emerging as a Sneaky Sleeper in Redraft Formats

Friday, July 24, 5:23 AM

Detroit Lions ' second-year receiver out of Arkansas, Isaac TeSlaa, has shown impressive physical and athletic gains this offseason and is poised to be a lock as the Lions' WR3. TeSlaa flashed quite a bit of upside in his rookie campaign, hauling in 239 yards on 27 targets, 16 receptions, and six touchdowns. He averaged 14.94 yards per reception last season and was a physical specimen at his 2025 NFL combine, ranking second in his class at the position in athleticism score, sitting at the 98th percentile in catch radius, at the 90th percentile in burst score, and at the 97th percentile in speed score. The Lions still have Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown as the clear No. 1 and No. 2 receivers, to go along with Sam LaPorta at tight end; however, TeSlaa should be deployed in three-wide receiver sets and serve as a red-zone specialist. RotoBaller ranks him as the WR69 off the board, and if either Williams or St. Brown were to miss time, TeSlaa would be viewed as a strong WR3 with upside.
