Who Should I Start? Elic Ayomanor or Chimere Dike

Friday, October 24, 9:39 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor will once again be asked to step up with this offense shorthanded this weekend. Top wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out and will miss his second straight game. Last week, Ayomanor struggled as he hauled in two of his five targets for 29 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie wideout has failed to surpass 30 receiving yards in each of the last three games. The playing time will be there, but nothing seems to be going right for this Titans offense at the moment. Ayomanor might be able to offer flex value in PPR formats for the Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz said that rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has "really taken advantage of his opportunities" recently in the offense. Holz also mentioned that Dike is "going to be a really good player in this league," and the team is excited for what is to come for him this year. Dike played a season-high 89% of the offensive snaps in the Week 8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and he responded with a breakout performance, catching seven of his eight targets for 93 yards. The 23-year-old had his first career touchdown the previous week against the New England Patriots, catching all four of his targets for 70 yards in that contest. With Tyler Lockett now in Vegas, Dike should continue to be more involved in the passing attack in Tennessee, especially with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) injured. Dike is squarely on the radar for fantasy managers looking for a waiver-wire pickup at WR this week.
