Who Should I Start? Tre' Harris or Elic Ayomanor

As a fourth-round rookie in 2025, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor led the team in targets and receiving touchdowns, but his competition heading into year two figures to be significantly stiffer. After spending $38 million in guarantees to acquire former Giants receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (fresh off back-to-back 90+ reception campaigns), the Titans produced one of the NFL Draft's early surprises by selecting Ohio State prospect Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick. Tate figures to slot in as a day one starter, and, given the investment and his familiarity with new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Robinson is likely to become his primary running mate in two-receiver sets. That leaves Ayomanor, eight-year veteran Calvin Ridley, and special teams maven Chimere Dike to split reps when the team turns to 11 personnel. With both Ayomanor and Tate profiling as prototypical boundary receivers, it could be Ridley who finds an easier path to playing time after leading the team in both targets and yards before a broken fibula ended his season prematurely. Following a WR51 finish in his rookie season, the soon-to-be-23-year-old Ayomanor has fallen to WR79 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings.
