Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Elic Ayomanor

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor appears to have fallen down the depth chart this offseason. While he was the team's de facto No. 1 receiver by the end of his rookie campaign in 2025, he's back down to No. 3 in the pecking order ahead of the 2026 season. The Titans opened free agency by signing Wan'Dale Robinson, who is coming off a 1,000-yard campaign that saw him finish as the WR14 in PPR leagues. Tennessee also restructured Calvin Ridley's contract to ensure he remains with the team going forward. Despite Ridley dealing with injury and production issues, the new coaching staff led by Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll evidently wants the veteran receiver back as a key piece of its offense next year. That leaves Ayomanor and Chimere Dike fighting for snaps in the No. 3 role, which isn't ideal. Sure, Year 2 is a common time for wide receiver breakouts, so we expect to see Ayomanor flash improved skills and a more natural playing style next year. However, with so much competition in an offense that features iffy passing from Cameron Ward, we question whether Ayomanor will even match his final 2025 stat line of 41 catches, 515 yards, and four touchdowns. He's worth holding in most dynasty leagues, but we wouldn't fault managers for selling him at this point.
