Titans training camp preview: Wide receivers
The Tennessee Titans are heading into training camp with a revamped wide receiver corps. Notable additions include first-round draft pick Carnell Tate and free agent signee Wan'Dale Robinson. Calvin Ridley returns on a new deal, aiming to bounce back from a disappointing season. Chimere Dike is looking to expand his role beyond special teams after a strong rookie showing, potentially challenging Ridley for snaps. Several other players, including Bryce Oliver, Tyren Montgomery, Hank Beatty, Xavier Restrepo, and Mason Kinsey, are competing for the final roster spots

Who will lead the Titans in receiving yards in 2026?
The Tennessee Titans totally revamped their wide receiver corps for franchise quarterback Cam Ward this offseason. Mike Borgonzi signed Wan’Dale Robinson to a four-year contract worth $70 million in free agency. The Titans then doubled down at the position by selecting Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft . The Titans have more depth at the position than ever before. They decided to retain former 1,000 yard receiver Calvin Ridley as opposed to making him a salary cap casualty, which is the move everyone expected them to make. Sophomores Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike help round out a stellar room. Tate and Robinson are the overwhelming favorites to be the Titans’ top two receivers. Robinson has essentially spent his entire NFL career playing for new Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. That’s the biggest reason why Borgonzi signed him in free agency. Robinson registered 90+ receptions in consecutive seasons with the New York Giants in 2024 and 2025. Even though Daboll was fired midway through 2025, it was still his offense. Robinson also surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career this past season. Robinson projects as a high-volume weapon in Daboll’s offense. He’ll be a quarterback-friendly target for Ward. That makes Robinson a strong candidate to lead the Titans in receptions, but Tate’s big-play ability could make him the offense’s receiving yards leader. Robinson has a career average of just 9.2 yards per catch, highlighting his strengths underneath the coverage. College is different from the pros, but Tate averaged 15.5 yards per reception at Ohio State, including a career-high 17.2 this past season. Tate does damage in the intermediate and deep areas. The Titans are also highly invested in Tate as the fourth overall pick. Daboll has a history of acquiring premium receivers and making them the focal point of the offense . That’s precisely what he did with Stefon Diggs and Malik Nabers in previous stops

Titans OTAs: News & Notes from practice No. 9 (6/11): Cam Ward struggles
Cam Ward had an uneven practice, going 12-of-24 with no touchdowns and two sacks. Coach Saleh expressed confidence, but Ward needs to improve. The defense appeared to win the day, with Jacob Martin and Keldric Faulk generating pressure. Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are the clear bellcows at RB, making it tough for rookie Nicholas Singleton. Carnell Tate returned to practice after a minor injury, and Kevin Winston Jr. and Marcus Harris received praise from Saleh. Calvin Ridley returned to 7-on-7 drills, showing progress from his injury

Calvin Ridley - Returns to 7-on-7 drills
sleeper-rotowire+3 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Ridley (leg) took his first 7-on-7 reps of the offseason Thursday, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports. Coming back from last year's fibula fracture, Ridley had previously been limited to individual drills and stretching during OTAs. He still hasn't done full-team work, but that should come at the start of training camp, if not at mandatory minicamp June 16-17. The 31-year-old wideout restructured his contract in March, shortly after the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year deal. The team then drafted Carnell Tate fourth overall, completing a makeover of last year's undermanned WR room. Ridley doesn't have NFL experience working as anything other than the first or second option in a passing game, but that might be his new reality in Tennessee, assuming he even has enough left in the tank to lock down a top-three role at WR

Titans OTAs: News & Notes from practice No. 7 (6/8): Cam Ward to Carnell Tate again
The Tennessee Titans were on the practice field Monday afternoon. It was their seventh of 10 scheduled OTA practices, with the final session concluding on Friday. Thanks to local beat writers like Paul Kuharsky, Turron Davenport, and A to Z Sports, we’ve compiled some notable tidbits from Monday’s practice. Cam Ward hit Carnell Tate for a 50-yard touchdown, per Kuharsky . Poor cornerback Micah Robinson was in coverage, and he’s been routinely victimized by Tate throughout OTAs. Ward and his rookie receiver continue building chemistry at OTAs. Jermaine Johnson II and Mitch Trubisky reported to OTAs for the first time. Trubisky reportedly looked significantly better than Will Levis has, also per PK. That’s not surprising. They signed him to be an upgrade at backup quarterback. Johnson also made several plays at his first practice, per Davenport . He knocked down a Ward screen pass, and tracked down Tyjae Spears on the next play. The Titans traded for Johnson to reunite him with Robert Saleh, and they need him to be effective in 2026. Levis has now thrown four interceptions in three practices open to the media. He continues to be a rollercoaster of a performer. With Trubisky officially back at practice, the Titans should look to trade Levis this offseason . Calvin Ridley supposedly was moving around well. He continues to be absent from team periods as he’s working back from last year’s season-ending injury. The Titans need Ridley to be an effective receiver in 2026. Amani Hooker , Femi Oladejo, Jeffery Simmons , Cor’Dale Flott, and Dan Moore Jr. were allegedly absent from practice, per Davenport . In Oladejo’s case, he’s been spotted at past practices working on the side field. Reminder that OTAs are totally voluntary and attendance isn’t mandatory. Simmons often works out in Dallas during the offseason. It sounds like Flott, the team’s $45 million cornerback, isn’t there

Calvin Ridley - Participating in OTAs on Monday
sleeper-rotowire+3 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Ridley (leg) is participating in Monday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. After being held out at the beginning of OTAs last month, Ridley has his helmet while running routes and catching passes Monday. The veteran wideout suffered a broken fibula Week 11 last season and now is seven months removed from the injury, so he should be at or near 100 percent. Ridley has much stiffer competition for targets in 2026 after the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency before using the No. 4 overall pick in April's draft on Carnell Tate

Calvin Ridley - Not practicing at OTAs
sleeper-rotowire+3 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Ridley (fibula) is not practicing at OTAs this week, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Ridley suffered a season-ending broken fibula in the Titans' Week 11 loss to the Texans last November and is still working his way back. The 31-year-old has gotten by on pure volume in his three seasons since serving a season-long gambling suspension in 2022, but the Titans have added significant target competition this offseason in the form of slot man Wan'Dale Robinson and No. 4 overall pick Carnell Tate. Now on the wrong side of 30 and playing under a new coaching staff that didn't sign him, Ridley could easily finish third on the team in opportunities behind both Robinson and Tate. He's not a particularly exciting fantasy target for 2026

Top 10 Dynasty Breakout Candidates for 2026
Typical breakout lists this time of year are usually flooded with high-profile rookies and obvious names. I wanted to take a slightly different direction with this one. My focus was on guys already in the league, highlighting second-year players poised to take a leap and veterans entering their prime, when things should finally start clicking. These guys should be viable in all dynasty leagues in 2026, with some players at the end who could help managers in those deeper formats. These guys haven’t fully broken out yet for whatever reason. You know what’s funny? Last year, an analyst for another site listed his breakouts and included Calvin Ridley . I, too, was in on Calvin Ridley last season (bad call by me), but calling a 30-year-old receiver with a top-five season and a WR2 finish under his belt a “potential breakout” was silly. Lazy take. The oldest player on my list is 27 years old or younger. Following are my top 10 players with the talent and situation who could break out in 2026. Okay, one obvious name. There’s a massive amount of excitement surrounding Luther Burden as he heads into his second season. After a slow start to his rookie campaign, he took off down the stretch and averaged 12.9 fantasy points per game from Week 12 on. That stretch included a monster Week 17, where he earned WR1 overall honors after torching the 49ers defense for 138 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions. Luther Burden’s Efficiency Metrics Now, with D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus gone, that’s roughly 30% of last season’s target share now up for grabs. Those additional targets should fuel Burden’s breakout, which feels imminent after he finished top 10 in several efficiency metrics as a rookie: target separation (2.63), yards per route run (2.79), fantasy points per route run (0.55), and yards per target (10.9). The arrow is pointing up, and in head coach Ben Johnson’s offense, Burden seems destined to take a major leap in 2026. One of the biggest beneficiaries of the 2026 schedule is undoubtedly Quinshon Judkins . Cleveland has one of the softest slates in the league, and that should help the 2025 second-round pick as he looks to bounce back from injury after a pedestrian rookie campaign. Judkins was serviceable in Year 1 — 998 total yards and seven scores. But he averaged just 3.6 yards per carry, and his 12.1 fantasy points per game ranked just 25th among running backs. An easy schedule theoretically means the Browns shouldn’t be trailing nearly as often. That’s huge for Judkins, who was often phased out late in games as Cleveland was slinging it to try to play catch-up. Some closer contests will allow Judkins to pile up touches and wear down defenses late with his 221-pound frame. It remains to be seen whether the Browns can get into scoring position enough for Judkins to become a truly elite fantasy back. RB1 ascension might be tough to pull off, but high-end RB2 output is definitely in his range of outcomes. Bhayshul Tuten could be this year’s low-key breakout running back. The former Virginia Tech Hokie heads into his sophomore season with Travis Etienne no longer blocking his progression. He left nearly 300 touches available for Jacksonville to redistribute. Of course, some of those will go to newly-signed Chris Rodriguez Jr., who played for head coach Liam Coen at Kentucky. “C-Rod” is just an early-down guy only, though; he has just six career catches across three NFL seasons, so Tuten should be the one getting the high-value targets in the passing game. Bhayshul Tuten ‘s Athletic Score If he can get double-digit touches with a few receptions per game, Tuten has the athletic skill set to flourish. He’s lightning-quick with 4.32 speed and shifty enough to make tacklers miss in space. There’s RB2 upside going forward in this Jacksonville offense if he gets enough opportunities. It’s kind of funny how quickly people went from joking about Tyler Shough ‘s age to thinking he’s an up-and-coming fantasy quarterback. They [... truncated ...]

Offseason Additions Hurt Elic Ayomanor's Dynasty Outlook
sleeper-rotoballerSource ↗
In another lost season for the Tennessee Titans in 2025, fourth-round rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor saw plenty of opportunities and finished as the team's second-leading receiver with 41 catches on his 89 targets for 515 yards and four touchdowns across 16 games (14 starts). The 22-year-old out of Stanford wasn't very efficient, though, with a catch rate of 46.1% and plenty of drops in an inconsistent offense led by rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. While Ayomanor's first year in the league has to be considered a success after he was drafted in the fourth round, he's unlikely to get as many chances to produce going forward as he did last season, considering Tennessee's offseason additions at the wideout position. The Titans added target hog Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and drafted former Ohio State star pass-catcher Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick. Veteran Calvin Ridley (leg) is still on the roster, and second-year tight end Gunnar Helm is also expected to have an expanded role in the passing game. Oh, and there's also fellow second-year receiver Chimere Dike to compete with. It's going to be difficult for Ayomanor to rise above his rookie production going forward in Tennessee. RotoBaller has him ranked just inside the top-100 dynasty WRs at No. 92
