Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Elic Ayomanor

Tuesday, August 19, 12:19 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (lower body) was a full practice participant at training camp on Tuesday after he was held out of the team's second preseason game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints with stiffness in his lower body, according to Mia O'Brien. First-round receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (upper body) also missed Sunday's exhibition contest and is day-to-day. Jacksonville's receiving corps is a little banged up, but Brown's and Hunter's injuries aren't serious enough to put them in danger of missing Week 1 of the regular season. The 25-year-old Brown has made some noise in camp this summer as he battles for the WR3 role with Parker Washington behind Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. He had a career-best 308 receiving yards and one touchdown in 16 games for the Commanders in 2024, but Brown will be left to the waiver wire in most 12-team fantasy formats.

Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com writes that rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is listed alongside Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett as a starter on the team's unofficial depth chart entering the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the hosting Denver Broncos. Ayomanor flashed in training camp and the preseason for Tennessee and displayed some strong chemistry with fellow rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. While the 22-year-old will probably go undrafted in all 12-team fantasy leagues, he's at least a young receiver to put on your watch list going into the 2025 campaign. Ayomanor played ahead of fellow rookie Chimere Dike in the preseason and has a leg up on the WR3 role already. Ridley is going to be the overwhelming favorite for the majority of targets, but don't rule out Ayomanor passing Lockett on the depth chart sooner than later.
