Dike

Dike also had a carry of seven yards and drew a 50-yard defensive pass interference. He finished the day tied for team-highs in catches and yards. With some help from his punt and kick returns, Dike set the record for all-purpose yards by a rookie at 2,344. Dike has his limitations as a receiver, but he is a force to be reckoned with when the ball is in his hands. He will be in the FLEX mix for his Week 18 date with the Jags.

In addition to his fourth receiving score of the season, Dike set the Titans’ single-season record for kick return yardage. The 24-year-old has been a legitimate all-purpose weapon, even if it hasn’t quite translated to weekly WR4 value. Maybe that will be on tap for 2026, but Dike still lacks either the floor ceiling to be a trusted fantasy option for finals week.

Dike had the most targets of any Titans wide receiver, but that’s not much to write home about. The Titans love to run screen passes, and Dike is really shifty after the catch, so you figure he’d be a good option on those plays. The Titans don’t seem to agree. The rookie also had a brutal drop in the fourth quarter on a play where Cam Ward evaded three rushers and escaped to the sideline before throwing a dart that hit Dike in the chest. He needs to make those catches, and the drop is a good example of why he’s hard to trust in fantasy leagues right now.

That’s a highly disappointing yardage total considering Dike’s catches and targets, but the looks matched a season high. The score was also his second in three weeks. The Titans have followed through on their pledge to get Dike more involved down the stretch. It has been difficult for it to translate to real fantasy value because of Cam Ward’s ongoing struggles, but Dike is still looking like someone who could be an eventual fantasy WR3. That will not include for Week 15 against the 49ers. Fantasy managers simply have too many other higher-ceiling options with the playoffs beginning.

Dike has been quite the volatile scorer as of late. In his late six games, he has finished as the half-PPR WR15-18 three times. In his other three showings, he finished as the WR75 or worse. Facing the Browns’ elite defense, he makes for a very risky FLEX option.

Dike had a calamitous Week 13 showing with just eight yards on four targets, as well as a fumbled kick return. He’s not a super desirable FLEX option against a strong Browns defense in Week 14.

Dike has delivered volatile results while playing through small injuries in recent weeks. Although his limited session on Wednesday puts him on track to play, he faces the Browns’ elite defense in Week 14. He is not a recommended FLEX starter.

Dike also gained one yard on a rush and fumbled on a kick return in the first quarter. His explosiveness makes Dike an intriguing fantasy option, but he does not get consistent usage in a low-ceiling Titans offense. With Elic Ayomanor back in the lineup, Dike was still second on the team in wide receiver snaps, indicating he is still a large part of the pass-catching lineup. Dike is a shaky boom-or-bust play for Week 14 against the Browns.

In addition to tying for the team lead in targets, Dike notched a second score when he housed a third quarter punt for a 90-yard special teams touchdown. It was Dike’s second return TD in three games, though fantasy managers will be more heartened by his second best reception total of the season. With Calvin Ridley (broken leg) done for the year, there should be more where that came from, though both floor and ceiling are difficult to come by in this bottom-three offensive environment. The Jaguars are not a great Week 13 matchup.

He practiced in full all three days this week and will be a WR5/WR6 option for the sickos against the Seahawks in Nashville. The Titans are without Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and may be bringing up Cam Ward binkie Xavier Restrepo from the practice squad just to fill out a three wideout set. In other words, target opportunity is here.
