Elic Ayomanor — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

Ayomanor missed his freshman season with a torn ACL before emerging as a reliable starter for Stanford over the following two years. In his first healthy season, he caught 62 passes for 1,013 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 16.3 yards per catch. A transition to the ACC and a shift in the Cardinals’ offensive identity brought shorter, more underneath catches (13.2 yards per reception), with steady production (63 catches for 831 yards and six touchdowns), with three 100-yard outings (7/102, 4/108/1, and 10/109).

Tennessee invested in an intriguing physical wide receiver profile in 2025. At 6'2" and 205 pounds with a 4.44 forty, Ayomanor has the size-speed combination that teams look for on the outside, and he can also work from the slot. He has a natural feel for creating separation out of his breaks, even without elite short-area quickness, and he's shown the ability to win in tight coverage. His concern is that he can tip his hand on certain routes, giving defenders a read on where he's going before he gets there, something more disciplined NFL corners will exploit if he doesn't clean it up. His hands also drew some scrutiny heading into the draft.

What works in his favor is his work ethic and his ceiling as a more physical receiver as he fills out. There's legitimate developmental upside here, and if the Titans are patient with him, Ayomanor could grow into a dependable two-way threat on the perimeter.

In his rookie season, Ayomanor teased in Week 2 (4/56/1) and Week 3 (4/38/1), but his next playable game didn’t arrive until Week 16 (4/37/1).
