Ayomanor

Ayomanor secured touchdown No. 4 of his rookie season by leaving his defender in the dust for a seven-yard score. His seven targets tied Chig Okonkwo for a team-high in pass-game opportunities. Ayomanor hasn’t caught more than four passes in a game this year and that’s unlikely to change versus the Jags next week. He will be a splash-play WR5 for the season finale.

Today was the first time since November 2 Ayomanor caught more than two passes, while those receiving yards were actually a new season high. Not bad, if not terribly notable. Chimere Dike remained the more impressive young wideout against the Chiefs. Ayomanor is a young player who has shown something in an offense displaying subtle signs of progress, but he’s not on the radar for fantasy finals week, while his 2026 rank remains very much to be determined.

Ayomanor had only one target on the day, but he hauled it in, so that’s something. The Titans don’t seem to want Cam Ward to throw the ball downfield much, which means it’s really hard for anybody to roster Ayomanor in re-draft leagues for the remainder of this season. However, Ayomanor and Ward also appeared to have a miscommunication on a fourth-quarter pass that almost led to an interception, so maybe that hesitancy makes some sense.

Ayomanor’s first quarter score came after a play fake helped him a get a step on the DB in man coverage. It was a great start, but unfortunately his only action on a day where the Titans surprisingly road paved Cleveland on the ground. Ayomanor now has only four grabs for 30 yards over the past three weeks, which is especially disappointing since it has coincided with Calvin Ridley’s season-ending absence. Ayomanor still has end-of-bench dynasty league appeal, but he is miles from 12-team league relevance as we begin the fantasy playoffs, which we might not have guessed during his relatively hot start to the season.

Ayomanor returned from a one-game absence due to his hamstring injury and led all Titans receivers in snaps. He and Cam Ward had very little chemistry this game as Ayomanor caught just one of his five targets. Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson were the only other wideouts to get over three targets; Jefferson caught 3-of-4 targets for 20 yards. No Titans receivers should be in fantasy lineups for Week 14 against the Browns.

Elic Ayomanor, who missed last week’s game with a hamstring injury, is also expected to suit up. Okonkwo has been losing work to Gunnar Helm lately, with the rookie tight end going for 51 yards on six grabs last week. Okokwo has caught more than three passes once in his past five games. Ayomanor scored twice in the first three weeks of the season and has since gone quiet. He has seen plenty of targets and air yards as of late, but Cam Ward’s struggles have drained the fantasy value from this offense. Neither Ayomanor nor Okonkwo should make it into fantasy lineups this week.

Ayomanor does not seem ready to play yet. The rookie wide receiver missed Week 12 after sitting out during the practice week, and he has failed to log a single full practice session since then. There is a chance he will be asked to play, but he would be at risk of suffering an in-game setback, and he is not producing at a must-start level.

Ayomanor stalls out in the limited column. He has a chance to play, but a return to full participation would have been great to see. The Titans’ rookie perimeter player would be a slightly risky FLEX option against the Jaguars if he can retake the field in Week 13. He sat out in Week 12 after failing to practice all week.

Ayomanor did not practice last week due to a hamstring issue, missing Week 12 against the Seahawks. He returns to practice in a limited capacity to start of the week with the potential to play Week 13 against the Jaguars. Ayomanor has caught 28-of-59 targets for 334 yards and two touchdowns this year, finding some fantasy relevance. With Calvin Ridley out for the season, he has fantasy WR4 viability when healthy. If Ayomanor can ramp up to full practice participation this week, he has a better chance of playing against the Jaguars.

We’ll never get to see if his receiving line would have been 3/28 or 4/24 now. Van Jefferson and Chimere Dike look to be the main two receivers for an offense lacking any fantasy-football worthy juice at home against one of the best defenses in the NFL.
