Who Should I Start? Chimere Dike or Keandre Lambert-Smith

Wednesday, February 25, 4:30 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike saw plenty of playing time as a rookie in 2025 after the Titans took him in the fourth round out of the University of Florida. The 24-year-old made the Pro Bowl as a special teams player -- he returned two punts for touchdowns and led the league with 17.3 yards per punt return. Dike wasn't in the top 50 receivers in terms of overall half-PPR points at the end of the year, but he also showed plenty of promise on offense by finishing with 48 receptions on 74 targets for 423 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games played. In dynasty/keeper leagues, Dike has plenty of potential, mainly as a big-play threat with his 4.34-second 40-yard dash speed. Long-term durability is a bit of a question mark, though, as he stands at a thin 6-foot-1, 196 pounds. His role on offense is a question mark as well, with the Titans expected to be looking to add around quarterback Cameron Ward.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Sunday night's Wild-Card playoff contest against the hosting New England Patriots. Lambert-Smith got more playing time in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos with the Bolts resting some starters, but he injured his hamstring and won't be available for the start of the postseason. The 23-year-old had a very limited role in his first year in the NFL with the Chargers, catching just five passes on 12 targets for 51 yards and one touchdown in 10 games played. Lambert-Smith's absence against the Pats could lead to some more playing time for Tre' Harris behind Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, and Quentin Johnston.
