Who Should I Start? Jalen Royals or Chimere Dike

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jalen Royals appears to have a chance to be involved in the offense during the 2025-26 campaign sooner rather than later. "He can make an impact immediately," said Greg Castillo, Kansas City's western regional scout. "He can separate with the short route and he can separate with the intermediate route. He's got a ton of versatility. The 2025 No. 133 overall pick had a quality collegiate career, totaling 21 touchdowns in his final two seasons at Utah State. He also averaged 15.2 yards per catch during that span. The Chiefs have an experienced wide receiver group, consisting of Rashee Rice (knee), Marquise Brown, Xavier Worthy, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. In addition, tight end Travis Kelce will return for another season. But considering nagging injuries were a theme for the receiving corps last season, Royals is someone who may have a shot to contribute earlier than anticipated. Although his redraft stock isn't high, he's someone dynasty managers can consider later in rookie drafts.

The Tennessee Titans have signed fourth-round rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike to a four-year contract. Financial details have not yet been disclosed. Dike spent four seasons at Wisconsin, but culminated his collegiate career with the Florida Gators in 2024, recording 42 receptions for 783 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old is a burner, capable of separating early in the route with his speed, and offers Tennessee's offense a dimension they haven't displayed in some time. It's unlikely he plays a significant role in the early going, but the Titans' WR corps doesn't offer much competition for targets behind teammates Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett. Furthermore, Treylon Burks has yet to come on in his three seasons, and Dike provides more speed and explosiveness than Van Jefferson. He's a nice stash in dynasty formats for the time being.
