Elic Ayomanor News
Saturday, August 1, 9:10 AM
Tennessee Titans second-year wide receiver Elic Ayomanor "continues to impress" in the early portion of training camp, making a nice catch from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky over Joshua Williams in practice on Saturday, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. Ayomanor showed some flashes with the Titans as a rookie in 2025, catching 41 of his 89 targets for 515 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games after the team selected him in the fourth round from Stanford. The 23-year-old wasn't consistent enough to be worth a roster spot in the majority of redraft fantasy leagues last year, though, and his path to a bigger role on offense in Year 2 is a difficult one after the Titans drafted Carnell Tate in the first round and signed Wan'Dale Robinson to a big free-agent deal. RotoBaller currently has Ayomanor ranked as the No. 108 fantasy WR for 2026, meaning he should go undrafted again in most fantasy leagues this fall. Ayomanor figures to be battling for the WR4 role with Chimere Dike behind Tate, Robinson, and veteran Calvin Ridley.

Ted Hurst News
Friday, July 31, 9:09 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield said that rookie wide receiver Ted Hurst is "one of those guys where you can throw the ball up to him and he's probably going to come down with it," according to Pewter Report. The 22-year-old third-rounder from Georgia State has a big opportunity to serve as the team's true X receiver under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson now that future Hall of Famer Mike Evans is out of town. He has the size (6-foot-4, 206 pounds) and the speed (4.42-second 40-yard dash) to be a legitimate downfield weapon for quarterback Baker Mayfield in Tampa sooner rather than later. With that said, the Bucs could ease Hurst into the fold behind Chris Godwin Jr., Emeka Egbuka, and Jalen McMillan in 2026. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues should be stoked if Hurst is on your roster after drawing some comparisons to Texans WR1 Nico Collins. RotoBaller has Hurst ranked just inside the top 100 at the WR position in 2026, but he has the skills and opportunity to rise quickly if an injury strikes Tampa's receiving corps early on.
