Elic Ayomanor Rest-of-Season Outlook
Downfield depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR55 last season at 7.3 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR66 at 6.4 PPR points per game, against 7.3 over 16 games last season (WR55). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 34th of 142 in target volume (16.8% target share), 26th of 142 in downfield role (28.1% air-yards share) and 105th of 142 in efficiency (1.06 yards per route run). His points come from his downfield role. Efficiency is the soft spot. Cam Ward is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Ravens in Week 4 (6th against WRs) and the Texans in Week 5 (5th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Ayomanor's rookie volume was real: an 80.6% snap rate across 488 routes, a 16.8% target share, and a hefty 28.1% air-yards share that pushed his WOPR to 0.448. The Titans aimed deep with him, averaging 12.65 air yards per target, but the production cratered on contact with the ball. A 46.1% catch rate, five drops (5.6%), and a brutal -0.108 EPA per play with a 40.4% success rate left him at just 515 yards and 1.06 yards per route. The downfield role plus eight red-zone and six end-zone looks netted only four scores.
The path forward is murky. Tennessee's added pass-catchers, dropping him into a crowded WR3 mix rather than the de facto target hog injuries made him in 2025. His near-undraftable cost reflects that, with redraft value confined to the deepest formats. The talent and route volume are there, but until the catch rate and drops improve, he's a dart throw, not a target.
