The Tennessee Titans’ rookie WR out of Stanford might be ready to make an NFL impact sooner than anyone was expecting, and that has turned him into quite the fantasy football sleeper, too.<\/p>\n

And on the Titans’ initial depth chart release<\/a> for Week 1, Ayomanor earned a first-string WR spot, alongside Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, and ahead of Van Jefferson.<\/p>\n

Ayomanor had a solid preseason that earned rave reviews, setting him up for this quick role.<\/p>\n

The Titans chose him in the fourth round of April’s NFL Draft out of Stanford at No. 136 overall, and he’s already making it look like a smart pick.<\/p>\n

And then Ayomanor, with Hunter guarding him, had the game of his life.<\/p>\n

He went for 13 catches, 294 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n
