Elic Ayomanor

TEN Wide Receiver

18hElic Ayomanor caught 3-of-6 targets for 46 yards in the Titans’ Week 9 loss to the Chargers.

Ayomanor essentially repeated his Week 8 statline, which has more or less been his 2025 ceiling. Now the rookie wideout is left to ponder if veteran Calvin Ridley will remain with the Titans following Tuesday’s trade deadline. If so, Ayomanor will find himself as something of a de facto No. 1 wideout, but we still would not consider him a viable WR4 when the Titans come off bye in Week 11 against the Texans’ elite defense.

Gunnar Helm

TEN Tight End #84

18hGunnar Helm caught a 15-yard pass in the Titans’ Week 9 loss to the Chargers.

Helm’s fourth quarter reception was his lone target. This was his first one-look game since Week 4. The Titans have followed through on their word of getting the rookie fourth-rounder more involved. It’s just that floor and ceiling are both so difficult to come by in this offensive environment. Helm will not be a recommended TE2 when the Titans come off bye against the Texans in Week 11.

Chig Okonkwo

TEN Tight End #85

18hChig Okonkwo caught 2-of-2 targets for 10 yards in the Titans’ Week 9 loss to the Chargers.

Coming off a 53-yard Week 8, Okonkwo had little shot at a repeat as Cam Ward completely only 12-of-21 throws. Okonkwo is still drawing enough looks to provide last-gasp TE2 plausibility, but we certainly wouldn’t want to be counting on any Titans when they come off bye in Week 11 against the Texans’ elite defense.

Chimere Dike

TEN Wide Receiver

19hChimere Dike caught 1-of-3 targets for five yards in the Titans’ Week 9 loss to the Chargers.

An awful fantasy line that does not include Dike’s 67-yard punt return score in the first quarter. That was the Titans’ most explosive play of the day, but it admittedly had little competition in a contest where Cam Ward completed only 12 passes. That stopped Dike’s recent modest momentum in its tracks, but he will undoubtedly remain a point of emphasis when the Titans come off bye in Week 11 against the Texans. Dike is an interesting young player, but not interesting enough to create consistent WR4 value in this awful offensive environment.

Tyjae Spears

TEN Running Back #2

19hTyjae Spears rushed seven times for 26 yards in the Titans’ Week 9 loss to the Chargers, catching three passes for 36 yards.

Spears and Tony Pollard more or less split snaps and touches down the middle as the Titans’ defense and special teams helped keep things interesting against the superior Chargers for the game’s first three quarters. L.A. pulled away in the final frame. Now headed on bye, the Titans will return against the Texans’ elite defense in Week 11. We suppose more Spears could be an adjustment for interim coach Mike McCoy, but we see little reason to expect this touches delineation to change. If it doesn’t, Spears will remain a lower-end FLEX option.

Tony Pollard

TEN Running Back #20

19hTony Pollard rushed 10 times for 56 yards in the Titans’ Week 9 loss to the Chargers, adding a 12-yard reception.

With the game surprisingly tight, Pollard played to a standstill with Tyjae Spears, narrowly winning the snaps battle but out-touching his backfield mate just 11-10. He did out-gain him 68-62. Spears’ return from injured reserve has coincided with a loss of RB2 value for Pollard but only limited FLEX relevance for Spears. It’s just not a good fantasy mix right now. That will very much include Week 11 against the Texans’ elite defense when the Titans come off bye.

Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

20hCam Ward completed 12-of-21 passes for 145 scoreless yards in the Titans’ 27-20, Week 9 loss to the Chargers.

Spotted early 7-0 and 14-7 leads by excellent defense and special teams work, Ward never settled into passing rhythm and couldn’t make a fourth quarter move with the Titans trailing only 20-17. His 118 yards net passing is a ghastly number, and Ward as usual contributed nothing with his legs. This is a tough situation with an interim coach and awful supporting cast, but you would at least like to see Ward mix in some of the splash plays he became famous for in the ACC. We certainly wouldn’t count on it when the Titans come off their Week 10 bye against the Texans’ offense-erasing defense. Calvin Ridley may have also been traded by then.

Calvin Ridley

TEN Wide Receiver #0

1dTitans declared WR Calvin Ridley, DT Jeffery Simmons, EDGE Arden Key, OL Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, WR Bryce Oliver, S Xavier Woods and OL Drew Moss inactive for Week 9 against the Chargers.

With Ridley a reported trade candidate ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, the Titans were never going to risk further injury of his hamstring issue. Whatever team he’s on, Ridley should be considered no better than 50-50 to return for Week 10. Of course, if he remains in Tennessee, that is the team’s bye week.

Calvin Ridley

TEN Wide Receiver #0

1dNFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Calvin Ridley “has emerged as a potential trade target.”

Ridley has been out since Week 6 with a hamstring injury, making a trade for the age-30 wideout a risky proposition for any team. On the other hand, the Titans are going full youth movement, having already traded cornerback Roger McCreary and released wideout Tyler Lockett. Moving on from Ridley would allow the team to keep evaluating rookie wide receivers Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. Ridley still has two years left on his current deal, though he will likely be a cap casualty in the offseason.

Chig Okonkwo

TEN Tight End #85

2dTitans TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) is not on Tennessee’s final Week 9 injury report.

He was downgraded to DNP on Thursday, but bounced back with a full session on Friday to get off the questionable line. Okonkwo is nothing more than a mid-tier TE2 at this point, with a past month of 4/53, 6/46, and 4/48 results sandwiching a bagel in Week 7.
