Who Should I Start? Elic Ayomanor or Chimere Dike

Tuesday, November 18, 4:30 PM

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has had a decent rookie season through 10 games, and with Calvin Ridley (leg) suffering a season-ending injury in Week 11 against the Texans, he could be in line for more opportunities. Fellow rookie wideout Chimere Dike also suffered a concussion in the game, leaving Ayomanor and veteran Van Jefferson as the two top wide receivers for Tennessee. Ayomanor has earned a consistent number of targets in every game this season, but the inconsistencies of fellow rookie Cameron Ward, along with his own poor play, have resulted in underwhelming production. The touchdown upside is not high for any player in this offense at the moment, but the rookie fourth-rounder has a good chance to lead the Titans in targets in Week 12 against the Seahawks. Ayomanor is worth adding off the waiver wire if available, but would be a risky play against a stout Seattle defense.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike (chest, concussion) was officially ruled out of Sunday's Week 11 contest with a concussion, but he also suffered a chest contusion in the loss to Houston, according to Terry McCormick of Titan Insider. He finished the game with three targets, two catches, and 14 receiving yards. There's currently no timetable for his return, as Dike must clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he can return to action. He will also require treatment and time to rehab his chest injury. When Dike does return, he'll likely step up as the Titans' No. 1 receiver after Calvin Ridley (leg) suffered a season-ending fibula fracture. In the meantime, Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Van Jefferson will lead the Titans' receiving corps.
