The Tennessee Titans desperately need some good news, and Chimere Dike has the best vibes in the Volunteer State.


Today’s Hottest Take: Dike's Play on Offense and Special Teams Can Make Him A Franchise Player

Dike was selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft and has been great in his rookie season. Dike has been fantastic on special teams, leading the league in average punt return yards (min. of 10 returns) and overall kickoff return yards.


With Tyler Lockett gone from of Tennessee, Dike has stepped in as a solid wide receiver as well, putting up 70 yards and a touchdown against the Patriots, and 93 yards against the Colts. After a tough week against the Chargers, Dike is looking to bounce back against the Texans this week.


Dike also leads all returners in all-purpose yards with 1514. Dike has eight returns of at least 35 yards, and has a season-high of 71. It's good to see he is making the most of his touches, averaging 26.4 yards per return.


As the Titans look to build towards next season, Dike could be a prime piece, not just as their returner but also as a wide receiver.


What You Need to Know: L’Jarius Sneed’s Days with the Titans Could be Numbered

Just a few weeks after hitting the IR, Sneed’s days could be done with the Titans after an incident that stemmed from this offseason. Sneed is being indicted by a Texas grand jury for his failure to report a felony in December of last year.


Sneed has been a disappointment for the Titans since joining as one of the top corners in the league. He played just five games last year, and who knows how long he will be out this year. Now with these pending charges, there is a high chance Snee could be released. If that is the case, then Tennessee can free up more cap space as Sneed is a $22 million cap hit per season. This would give the Titans the most cap space in the NFL heading into next season, and could arguably help turn this franchise back into a contender.


Clearing that much payroll has has worked for the Patriots, as they spent their money, got a solid draft class, and hired an excellent head coach. Who says Tennessee can’t do the same next year and find itself back to playing competitive football?


Before You Go: The Titans host the Texans this Weekend, and Can Get Their Second Win

The Titans square off with the 4-5 Texans from Nissan Stadium this Sunday in Nashville. The Texans took the first matchup 26-0 in Houston, and the Titans are looking to split the season series. With Calvin Ridley most likely out again, look for Dike and Elic Ayomnor to have a breakout game as the Titans look to gain their second win of the season.
