Kendrick Bourne News
Thursday, August 20, 10:49 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has a real job in this offense. Fantasy managers just shouldn't confuse that with a big one. Arizona has him slotted behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, and the team called Bourne an "upper-level No. 3" this week. Bourne seems perfectly fine with that. He told the Cardinals he chased a bigger role in New England and now feels back in the role that fits him best under Mike LaFleur. Last season gives you a pretty good picture of the upside and the problem. Bourne caught 37 passes for 551 yards and no touchdowns, with 284 of those yards coming in back-to-back 142-yard games. He did catch a 12-yarder from Jacoby Brissett in Arizona's second preseason game, but there isn't much here pointing to a volume jump. Harrison, Wilson and Trey McBride all have stronger claims on targets. Bourne can help Arizona. In standard redraft leagues, he's still mostly an injury-away depth option.

Chimere Dike News
Monday, August 17, 7:47 PM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike is rotating behind the team's starters during training camp and in the preseason game. In his rookie season, Dike had 48 receptions on 74 targets for 423 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. After a strong rookie season as the WR2 behind fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor, the Titans loaded up on receivers, pushing Dike down the totem pole. They added 1,000-yard receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, drafted Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick, and should have veteran Calvin Ridley healthy. During their preseason win over the 49ers, Dike played five of 22 snaps, ranking fifth behind the four starters. With added competition and the team's lack of production at quarterback, Dike is a pass-at-value in fantasy this season.
