Ayomanor (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
In Ayomanor's absence versus Seattle this weekend, Chimere Dike, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey are slated to lead a Titans WR corps that will be without Calvin Ridley (fibula) for the rest of the season. Ayomanor's next chance to see game action will occur Sunday, Nov. 30 against the Jaguars.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Ayomanor (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ayomanor also didn't practice Wednesday, which gives the wideout one more chance to mix into drills before the Titans assign Week 12 injury designations. If Ayomanor is out this weekend against the Seahawks, Chimere Dike, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey would be in line to lead a Tennessee wideout corps that will be without Calvin Ridley (fibula) for the rest of the season.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Not practicing
Rotowire
Ayomanor (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Chimere Dike (chest) is participating, after both he and Ayomanor suffered injuries during the second half of Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Titans. With Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the season, Van Jefferson should have a top-three role even if Ayomanor manages to play this Sunday against a tough Seattle defense.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Two catches in Week 11 loss
Rotowire
Ayomanor (hamstring) brought in two of six targets for 11 yards in the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans.
Ayomanor dealt with a hamstring issue late in the contest, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, with his status going forward of note, considering the Titans lost both Calvin Ridley (leg) and Chimere Dike (concussion/chest) to injuries within Sunday's game. Ayomanor hasn't recorded more than four receptions or 56 yards in any game this season, but assuming he's available, he'll be in line for an expanded role moving forward due to Ridley already being ruled out for the season and Dike potentially sidelined for a Week 12 home matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.
Ayomanor recorded three receptions on six targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chargers.
Ayomanor turned in a modest stat line, though he led the team in targets and yards. He nearly broke free for a touchdown on a 29-yard catch over the middle of the field to begin the third quarter, but it was still the second-longest catch of his rookie season. Ayomanor has topped 45 yards in each of his last two games after achieving that mark just once in his first seven contests.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Best showing since Week 2
Rotowire
Ayomanor recorded four catches (on eight targets) for 52 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.
Ayomanor had a mixed showing, as he connected with Cam Ward for long gains of 26 and 14 yards to turn in his highest yardage total since Week 2. However, he also had an apparent miscommunication with Ward on a potential deep catch early in the second quarter, one play after being called for offensive pass interference. Ayomanor has been overshadowed by fellow rookie Chimere Dike in recent weeks, but he earned a career-high eight targets in Sunday's loss and should retain a key role in Tennessee's offense for the rest of the season.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is out in Week 7 against the Patriots, which should put Ayomanor in prime position to soak up targets from Cam Ward. Van Jefferson could also benefit with Ridley out, but Ayomanor has more upside. He has two games this season with at least 13.8 PPR points, and the Patriots have allowed eight receivers to score at least 12.2 PPR points this season. Ayomanor is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 7.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Week 7 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Both Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson are desperation adds as we expect the Titans to be without Calvin Ridley. Ayomanor is the one who we are more excited about but Jefferson is the one who stepped into the Calvin Ridley role when Ridley went down last week. With a week to prepare I would expect more schemed up touches for Ayomanor.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was injured in Week 6 at Las Vegas, and we could be looking at Ayomanor as the No. 1 receiver for the Titans heading into Week 7 against the Patriots. He's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB, and Ayomanor has two games this season with at least 13.8 PPR points. He's a good receiver to stash on your bench until we find out how long Ridley might be out, and things are about to change for the Titans -- hopefully for the better -- with Brian Callahan fired in Tennessee on Monday.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Ayomanor had a down game in Week 4 at Houston with two catches for 44 yards, but he got seven targets, which is a positive. And he scored at least 13.8 PPR points in each of his two previous outings prior to Week 4, which included two touchdowns. Calvin Ridley (knee) is banged up, and Cam Ward may have to rely on Ayomanor even more in Week 5 against the Cardinals. It helps that Arizona has allowed a receiver to score at least 12.4 PPR points in every game this season, and I like Ayomanor as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in this matchup.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Week 5 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Calvin Ridley is banged up and Ayomanor has been better than him this year. For a Titans team looking towards the future, we may just see more opportunities for the rookie moving forward. He has scored at least 13 Fantasy points in two of his first four games and at the very least is a good bye week replacement in Week 5. The upside is much higher than that, especially if the Titans can start protecting Cam Ward better.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Ayomanor's two-game streak of finding the end zone ended in Week 4 at Houston, but he managed seven targets for the second time this year. He finished with two catches for 44 yards, and I still want to roster Ayomanor in the majority of leagues. For now, he should be considered the best receiving option for the Titans heading into Week 5 at Arizona. Ayomanor is worth adding for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Week 3 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Ayomanor ranks second on the team with a 23.2% target share and first on the team at 1.23 yards per route run. He's played at least 70% of the snaps in each of the Titans' first two games, which is excellent for a rookie. The Colts are a much better matchup than the Broncos or Rams, the first two teams the Titans face. Ayomanor could burst onto the scene in Week 3, and you could be the beneficiary.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Ayomanor looked good in Week 2 against the Rams with four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown on six targets, and he now has 13 targets through two games. Ayomanor earned some buzz in training camp as a receiver that Cam Ward can rely on, and that has carried over into the season. Calvin Ridley will eventually start making plays for the Titans, and Chigoziem Okonkwo will also be a factor. But Ayomanor is worth adding in all leagues, and he could be a No. 3 Fantasy option in deeper formats heading into Week 3 against the Colts. He should be added for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: First career score
Rotowire
Ayomanor recorded four receptions on six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams.
Ayomanor has quickly emerged as a key player in the Tennessee offense, as he tied Chig Okonkwo and Calvin Ridley with six targets. He made a pair of explosive plays on the same drive, first making a one-handed catch down the left sideline for a 23-yard gain. Three plays later, he got himself open as Cam Ward scrambled for several seconds, and the duo ultimately connected from a nine-yard score -- the first touchdown of Ayomanor's career. Ayomanor has shown rapport throughout both the preseason and regular season with Ward, and he should continue to emerge as the season progresses.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Stashes (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Ayomanor ran a route on 82.4% of Cam Ward's drop-backs and was second on the Titans with a 28% target share. They were facing the Broncos, so that didn't actually turn into production, but in deeper leagues, he is absolutely worth an add as we see if he can establish himself as a weekly factor.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Targeted often by Ward
Rotowire
Ayomanor recorded two receptions on seven targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.
Ayomanor's stat line was underwhelming in his regular-season debut, but Cam Ward looked his way often. Ayomanor finished second on the team in targets behind only Calvin Ridley, most notably out-pacing Tyler Lockett. Ayomanor's results are likely to be inconsistent as the Titans' offense comes together, but he looks to be a favorite target of Ward early on.

Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Flashes playmaking ability again
Rotowire
Ayomanor recorded three receptions on three targets for 25 yards in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.
Calvin Ridley didn't play in the contest, allowing Ayomanor to start as an outside receiver. Ayomanor continued to flash rapport with Cameron Ward, hauling in receptions of 13 and six yards -- the latter of which brought the Titans inside the Vikings' one-yard line. He also played ahead of fellow rookie Chimere Dike, which likely sets up Ayomanor to be the third outside receiver after Ridley and Van Jefferson to begin the regular season.
