Titans Film Review (mainly Carnell Tate - 3 plays/routes): Tate mainly aligned as an outside WR - they had him in motion for one of his “routes” which was just a clear out for a screen (some sources don’t consider this a route bc he’s not a real option) Other 2 plays were: 1) Backside of a play action rollout (not really an option) 2) Play action deep shot - great job of getting by the CB and nearly making the play on an imperfect pass (see below) Of course the Titans could be calling vanilla...

Dike, a second-year pro, could get plenty of opportunities as he tries to play his way into meaningful regular-season roles; set the rookie all-purpose yards record with 2,427 in the 2025 regular season and consistently finds ways to make plays when the ball is in his hands, though he's low enough on the depth chart to earn significant run Sunday.

Dike is electric with the ball in his hands on special teams, but he hasn't proven to be valuable as a stand-alone option at receiver in leagues that ignore contributions in the return game. Positioned behind Ridley on the Titans' depth chart.

Finished second in the NFL in kickoff returns (62) and return yards (1,588) plus 398 punt return yards and two punt return touchdowns in 2025 rookie season. Despite finishing as WR51 in standard scoring on 48 receptions for 423 yards and 4 touchdowns, his elite special teams contributions make him FLEX-worthy in return-yard leagues. Tennessee's middling defense should surrender points in droves, providing ample return opportunities.

Dike caught 48-of-74 targets for 423 yards and carried the ball 11 times for 18 yards in his rookie season. He is a speedy receiver who adds a gadget element to the offense and is First-Team All-Pro return man. Dike is the next best bet after Ridley with added touchdown opportunities from kick/punt returns, but does not need to be rostered in 12-team redraft leagues unless one of the three wideouts ahead suffer an injury.

Dike was a first-team All-Pro last season with two punt return touchdowns and a league-high 17.3-yard average; he has also recorded a kick and punt return of more than 40 yards this season, though the Titans' recent fourth-round draft investment makes a trade unlikely unless the Rams pay up with a fourth-rounder.
