Who Should I Start? Elic Ayomanor or Jaylin Lane

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.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane had some positive moments in his extended opportunity in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, catching three of six targets for 60 yards. Lane played easily his highest snap share of the season at 70.3% and led Washington in receiving yards. The fourth-round rookie out of Virginia Tech has been a key contributor on special teams and has made some plays on offense, with Washington dealing with injuries to their top three wide receivers. Both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. are set to return in Week 8 against the Chiefs, likely relegating Lane back to a depth role. There is still plenty of intrigue for Lane in dynasty leagues, but he can be dropped in redraft leagues.
