Chimere Dike News
Friday, November 13, 4:06 PM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike put up the best offensive performance of his young career in Week 9 at Cincy, catching five of six targets for 71 yards and his first receiving touchdown of the season. Dike now has 11 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown on just 14 targets this year, so one game obviously isn't enough to establish a dependable fantasy role. However, this week gives him a legitimate opportunity to build on it. Carnell Tate has been ruled out, and while Dike is listed as Calvin Ridley's backup on the depth chart, he played 82% of offensive snaps last week compared to 52% for Ridley. Dike remains very risky for standard fantasy lineups, but managers in deeper leagues should at least take notice after his performance before the bye. He's a boom-or-bust flex option and an intriguing DFS play rather than a conventional start.

Malik Benson News
Sunday, August 16, 10:11 AM
Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Malik Benson has earned reps with the first-team offense in training camp, according to head coach Klint Kubiak, per Levi Edwards of the team's official website. "He's earned those reps, but he's got to stay humble and stay hungry," Kubiak said. Benson has looked like the front-runner for the team's WR3 role this summer behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor, although Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. could still have something to say about that before the Week 1 regular-season opener rolls around in early September. The 23-year-old was taken in the sixth round in April from the University of Oregon after he caught 43 passes for 719 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games with the Ducks last year. Benson caught two of his four targets for 26 yards on 20 offensive snaps in the team's preseason opener on Thursday against the Arizona Cardinals, also returning a kickoff for 21 yards. For now, Benson is a name to monitor in single-year redraft leagues.
