Elic Ayomanor Suffers Shoulder Injury on Thursday

Thursday, August 6, 9:39 AM

Tennessee Titans second-year wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (shoulder) left practice with a trainer on Thursday due to a left-shoulder injury and did not return, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. The severity of Ayomanor's shoulder injury is unclear, but we'll consider him day-to-day until we have more information. The 23-year-old former fourth-rounder last year from Stanford had plenty of opportunities as a rookie and caught 41 of his 89 targets for 515 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games played. The efficiency definitely wasn't there, but he was hardly to blame for all of it while working with rookie QB Cam Ward in an inconsistent offense. Going into Year 2, it's going to be hard for Ayomanor to stand out after the Titans added rookie first-rounder Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency to new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's scheme. If he's healthy entering Week 1, Ayomanor is expected to be competing with fellow second-year wideout Chimere Dike for the WR4 role behind Tate, Robinson, and veteran Calvin Ridley.

Isaac TeSlaa News

Isaac TeSlaa Emerging as a Sneaky Sleeper in Redraft Formats

Friday, July 24, 5:23 AM

Detroit Lions ' second-year receiver out of Arkansas, Isaac TeSlaa, has shown impressive physical and athletic gains this offseason and is poised to be a lock as the Lions' WR3. TeSlaa flashed quite a bit of upside in his rookie campaign, hauling in 239 yards on 27 targets, 16 receptions, and six touchdowns. He averaged 14.94 yards per reception last season and was a physical specimen at his 2025 NFL combine, ranking second in his class at the position in athleticism score, sitting at the 98th percentile in catch radius, at the 90th percentile in burst score, and at the 97th percentile in speed score. The Lions still have Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown as the clear No. 1 and No. 2 receivers, to go along with Sam LaPorta at tight end; however, TeSlaa should be deployed in three-wide receiver sets and serve as a red-zone specialist. RotoBaller ranks him as the WR69 off the board, and if either Williams or St. Brown were to miss time, TeSlaa would be viewed as a strong WR3 with upside.
