Who Should I Start? Elic Ayomanor or Isaiah Bond

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor hauled in four of his five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in their 41-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. Ayomanor continues a productive start to his NFL career with five targets in each game and scoring again after his highlight first touchdown last week. He tied veteran Calvin Ridley for the team lead in targets in Week 1 with seven, tied Ridley and Chig Okonkwo in Week 2 with six, and then dropped down slightly to third against Indianapolis behind Okonkwo and Ridley with five. So the fourth-round rookie is running a full number of routes and earning volume right out of the gate. There is a lot to like with Ayomanor's start in the NFL and his prospect profile, putting him in the WR3/WR4 range with some upside moving forward, but Tennessee's offense will likely continue to struggle moving the ball.

Despite his lack of involvement early on, ESPN's Dan Graziano notes that Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond has the potential to be a second-half breakout candidate in the 2025 season. Bond got a late start after dealing with sexual assault charges that were eventually dropped, so he's a bit further behind your typical rookie wideout at this point in their career. Any time missed in the early portion of a player's tenure could set them back, but the former Texas Longhorn has seemingly already surpassed second-year receiver Jamari Thrash in the Browns' WR room. Cleveland's dearth of skill players could leave him with a low target floor on a weekly basis, though Bond boasts the most speed of the group. Expect things to be in flux for the Browns at some point, but Bond is worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues and is an excellent stash in dynasty formats.
