From the article

Sophomore Elic Ayomanor is tasked with navigating how he fits in Brian Daboll's offense... By adding Robinson and Tate, and retaining Ridley, the Titans are far better prepared at receiver... Ayomanor is a throwback X receiver. He's obviously not going to beat-out Tate for that role... Ayomanor must navigate those challenges and compete for reps.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Ayomanor faces reduced role after Titans added Robinson, Tate, and retained Ridley.

Sophomore WR faces significant role compression in 2026 after starring as a rookie; the Titans added Wan'Dale Robinson (4-year, $70M slot receiver), drafted Carnell Tate 4th overall as the presumed starting X receiver, and retained Calvin Ridley. Ayomanor is a throwback X receiver who will not beat out Tate for that role and must now compete for reps in a crowded receiver room. He could see snaps at X in certain packages, but his 2025 usage (41 receptions, 515 yards, 4 TDs) was inflated by injuries to Ridley and the release of Tyler Lockett.
