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.

Malachi Fields News
Saturday, August 22, 5:29 PM
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields went without a catch in the 26-3 preseason victory over the Miami Dolphins. Although Fields did not record a target in his time on the field, his role appears to be solidified entering the 2026 season. Fields played all eight snaps with the first-team offense and ran the most routes alongside Darius Slayton (5). More good news for the second-round pick: After the first drive, Fields did not play another snap for the rest of the game, while both Slayton, Calvin Austin III, and Odell Beckham Jr. played beyond the opening drive. While receivers Malik Nabers and Darnell Mooney were inactive against the Dolphins, Fields should continue to operate with the first-team offense. Currently ranked as the WR81 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Fields should be considered in the late rounds in drafts this year.
