Chimere Dike Scores Special Teams TD vs. Chargers ... But That's It

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Sunday followed games of 70 and 93 yards for Dike, so there’s no doubt Sunday's result was disappointing. The good news? His route rate remained strong at a team-high 93%. 

He also nearly scored on a goal line pop-pass, one that took him down to the one yard-line. Dike did score on a 67-yard punt return late in the first quarter.

But offensively, Dike was simply limited by Cam Ward. The top pick threw for only 145 yards on 12 completions. He’s now been held under 200 yards in four games.

We’ll see about Calvin Ridley’s status going forward. But even if he returns for Week 10, Dike will remain a low-floor option against a tough Houston defense.

Other Winners & Losers

Fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor finished third on the team in route rate (67%). But he led the team with 6 targets and 46 yards. He tied for the team lead in catches (3).

Like Dike, Ayomanor will remain a shaky fantasy option ahead of a matchup with the Texans. Prior to Week 9, Ayomanor hit 40 yards in only one of his prior four matchups.
