Elic Ayomanor DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor and tight end Gunnar Helm were both fourth-round selections in the 2025 NFL Draft. While fourth-round picks are not guaranteed to make an impact right away, the Stanford and Texas products, respectively, "should have a path to contributing early," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Many draft analysts had a Round 2 or Round 3 grade on Ayomanor, who posted 1,844 yards and 12 touchdowns in two collegiate seasons. The Titans' wide receiver group behind Calvin Ridley and the aging Tyler Lockett is underwhelming, so don't be surprised if Ayomanor is starting at the X-WR spot early in his rookie campaign. Meanwhile, Chig Okonkwo is still slotted in as the starter at tight end, but Helm, who caught 60 passes and scored seven touchdowns last season, could eat into his snaps and become a factor in 12-personnel. Neither pass-catcher is likely to be a consistent fantasy producer in an offense led by rookie quarterback Cam Ward, but they should be monitored throughout the season as potential waiver wire targets in deeper setups.

The Tennessee Titans have selected Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor with the 136th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Less than two days after drafting quarterback Cam Ward, the Titans are making a clear effort to support him with young pass-catchers. Their first three Day 3 picks were used on a pair of wide receivers and a tight end. Ayomanor is a playmaker who can work vertically and projects to contribute in a depth role at the NFL level. He and fellow fourth-round pick Chimere Dike will presumably open the year behind Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett, and perhaps Van Jefferson.
