The Titans’ two rookie wide receiver draft picks each earned prominent roles on the team’s first unofficial depth chart for the regular season.

Elic Ayomanor was listed as one of the Titans’ starting three wide receivers, while Chimere Dike is the choice at both punt and kick returner.

The Titans drafted both players in the fourth round in April, selecting Dike with the 103rd overall pick out of Florida, and Ayomanor with the 136th overall pick out of Stanford.

Ayomanor beat out veteran Van Jefferson for a first-team spot on the depth chart, joining Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett.

Jefferson, Chimere Dike and Bryce Oliver are listed with the second-team offense.

The Titans during training camp praised the 6-2, 208-pound Ayomanor’s physicality and route-running ability, traits which were evident in college when he caught a combined 125 passes for 1,844 yards (14.8-yard average) and 12 touchdowns in two years at Stanford.

Ayomanor didn’t make a catch in his first preseason game, and he struggled during one of the Titans’ joint practices with Atlanta the following week — when he spent plenty of time going against Falcons veteran AJ Terrell.

But Ayomanor rebounded nicely, making a 35-yard reception in the preseason game against Atlanta. He finished the preseason tied for the team lead with five catches (on 10 targets) for 72 yards and a 14.4-yard average.

“His effort is off the charts,” Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz told reporters during the preseason. “He’s been a really consistent guy, and I think a guy that we’ll be able to count on pretty consistently.”

Dike got plenty of experience as a return man in college, where he returned 26 punts for 295 yards (11.3-yard average) and 20 kicks for 472 yards (23.6-yard average).

Special teams coordinator John Fassel said he liked Dike right away, but wanted to make sure Dike won the returner position — and that the job wasn’t simply handed to him as a rookie.

“I think Chim … [has shown] great decision making,” Fassel said Tuesday. “He’s got fantastic ball skills, a little bit of a baseball background that helps with the tracking part. We all as a staff have total trust in his ball security, and then he’s a talented runner … He’s a young guy, but he does have a lot of college experience doing both punt return and kick return.”

In the Titans’ three preseason contests, Dike made two fair catches on punts, while returning four kicks for an average of 27.8 yards.

But Fassel was impressed with what he saw from Dike in practice as well.

“I know he’s only a rookie, but he feels like a little bit of a seasoned professional with all the intricate parts of [things like], `When I catch a kick return, and this is the call, where do I press it? How do I set up my blocks?’” Fassel said. “There’s an instinctive a part of his game that is hard to describe, but I think he has, and he’ll continue to develop. That gives me a lot of confidence he’ll give us a spark in the return game.”

NOTES: Among other notes on the depth chart, Cedric Gray won the starting inside linebacker battle over James Williams and will start next to Cody Barton … L’Jarius Sneed, who hasn’t played a game since last October, is listed as one of three starting corners, along with Jarvis Brownlee and Roger McCreary … Olisaemeka Udoh is the second-string left tackle behind Dan Moore … Newly acquired cornerbacks Jalyn Armour-Davis and Samuel Womack are listed as second-team corners with Darrell Baker Jr., ahead of rookie Marcus Harris.
