WR Elic Ayomanor only played with the backups but seems most likely to benefit from added playing time if Calvin Ridley doesn't stick as a starter. Tyson notes the Titans have decent WR depth with Ayomanor and Chimere Dike behind the presumed starters.

Ayomanor, a last year's rookie, factored into the Titans' receiver rotation in preseason Week 1, contributing to the dilution of snaps for Calvin Ridley, Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson.

Ayomanor started over Calvin Ridley but saw three incomplete targets and didn't generate any production. He continued playing with the backups while Ridley rotated in with the starters.

Jerry Jeudy thought Ayomanor's rookie season would keep Tennessee from splurging at the position during the offseason, but the team clearly felt otherwise. Jerry Jeudy is pegging Ayomanor as a dynasty hold and little else until Ridley seeks greener pastures, indicating limited near-term fantasy value in redraft formats.

Most notable part of a quiet Titans practice: WR Elic Ayomanor was down for a while with what appears to be a left shoulder injury. He left practice relatively late in the day and didn’t return.

Elic Ayomanor, a sophomore wide receiver, is part of the Titans' deepest wide receiver room ever assembled, which includes Carnell Tate, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Calvin Ridley as the team attempts to improve a historically weak passing offense.

Some steady drumbeat of Elic Ayomanor, who’s battling for WR3 duties with Calvin Ridley and Chimere Dike (though Dike profiles as more of a slot for now) Sounds like he won some reps against Alontae Taylor Not the greatest tape last year from Ayomanor but everything fell apart for this Titans O in 2025 - a prospect a lot of analysts really liked Maybe a bounce back or at least winning WR3 over Calvin Ridley by some point?

Quick thoughts after the first #Titans open practice this year: - WR Elic Ayomanor has taken a BIG step forward. He’s going to be a difference-maker this season. - RB Nick Singleton is definitely a name to keep an eye on, both this season and for the future. 👀 - QB Cam Ward looked good and made a few impressive tight-window throws. - The offensive line looked noticeably better than last year. - QB Will Levis struggled all day. Other standouts: WR Wan’Dale Robinson, WR Chimere Dike, CB Alonta...

Ayomanor has had a solid couple of days at camp, making a living catching passes on deep in-breaking routes in addition to his big plays down the field. He is noticeably bigger and playing with more confidence this camp. It's clear Cam Ward trusts Ayomanor to win in jump ball situations, as the second-year tandem has found success on those 50-50 passes in the three practices open to the media. Ayomanor connected with Ward for a long touchdown when Ward was under pressure, side armed a pass down the field, and Ayomanor skied over Cor'Dale Flott to make the catch before outracing the safety to the end zone.

Elic Ayomanor lining up at starting X with Calvin Ridley missing Training Camp Take: Didn’t look great last year (coming off injury?, bad O?), but fits more naturally at WR than Dike based on the film. Dike did more gadgety work last season. Via LockedOn Titans

As a rookie in 2025, Ayomanor finished second on the Titans in receiving yards (515), tied for first in touchdowns (4, with Chimere Dike), and placed fifth in receptions (41). He was thrust into a starring role after Calvin Ridley suffered a season-ending injury and Tyler Lockett was released, forcing Ayomanor and Dike to pick up the slack.

Ayomanor, a sophomore X receiver, faces a diminished role in 2026 after the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson (four-year, $70M) and drafted Carnell Tate (4th overall). Tate is expected to be the starting X receiver, Robinson will play slot, and Calvin Ridley and Chimere Dike can play Z. Ayomanor could find reps at X in certain packages but must compete for playing time in a significantly upgraded receiver room.

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.

Ayomanor caught 41-of-89 targets for 515 yards in his high-opportunity rookie season. He has size but does not need to be rostered in 12-team redraft leagues unless one of the three wideouts ahead of him (Tate, Robinson, Ridley) suffer an injury.
