Dike recorded two receptions on five targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.
Dike matched his season high in targets while also surpassing a 50 percent offensive snap rate for the first time in his career. His stat line wasn't particularly notable, but he did finish in a three-way tie for the team lead in targets. Dike will likely remain buried in priority in the offense behind Calvin Ridley, Elic Ayomanor and Chig Okonkwo, so there's no clear path to Dike contributing more consistently despite some positive signs regarding his involvement.

Titans' Chimere Dike: Larger role incoming?
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters Friday that Dike has earned more opportunities as a wide receiver, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Tennessee's wide receiver corps underwhelmed in the Week 1 loss to the Broncos, but Dike emerged as one of the team's few bright spots. The 2024 fourth-round pick from Florida tallied 156 total return yards, including a 71-yard kickoff return to put the Titans in field-goal range right before halftime. Callahan told reporters that he's been impressed with Dike's play thus far, suggesting his offensive snap share will increase in Week 2 against the Rams. He figures to slot in as the Titans' third or fourth wide receiver Sunday.

Rotowire
Dike will be the Titans' punt returner this season, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Dike will also return kickoffs, along with Bryce Oliver. While Dike's offensive role remains to be seen behind Calvin Ridley (soreness), Tyler Lockett and fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor, it does sound like he'll at least be counted on to handle plenty of returns for Tennessee.

Titans' Chimere Dike: Joins Cam Ward in Tennessee
Rotowire
The Titans selected Dike in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 103rd overall.
Tennessee adds a wideout to pair alongside top pick Cam Ward. Dike is an interesting receiver prospect who played five years in college, beginning at Wisconsin and then finishing at Florida in 2024. The production is not eye-popping; he never reached 1,000 yards or 50 catches in a season, and he had just one year with more than two receiving touchdowns. However, a closer look shows Dike to be a bit of a technician with his routes, and he was extremely efficient at Florida with a 64 percent catch rate at 12.0 yards per target. His combine performance put him on the radar as an early Day 3 player with a 4.34 40 yard dash and a 128-inch broad jump. Dynasty players will pay attention to his age (23) but there's still some upside here, especially if Ward becomes the franchise player Tennessee envisions.
