Thirteen is an awful lot of wide receivers<\/a> to carry.<\/p>\n

The Tennessee Titans<\/a> have made major efforts to revitalize their receiver room<\/a> this offseason. Most notably, that’s meant drafting Ohio State’s Carnell Tate No. 4<\/a> in the 2026 NFL Draft and signing former New York Giants pass catcher Wan’Dale Robinson<\/a> to a contract worth an average of $17.5 million per year.<\/p>\n

The average NFL team<\/a> starts three wideouts and carries anywhere 5-7 on the active roster. Two or three more are usually stashed on the practice squad. No team’s going to carry 13 receivers out of training camp.<\/p>\n

So before the Titans<\/a> convene for OTAs, which are scheduled to start on May 18, let’s take a look at the 13 receivers on roster and rank them based on how big their projected roles should be come the start of the season.<\/p>\n

Titans WR depth chart: Which receivers should make the team?13. Lance McCutcheon<\/p>\n

McCutcheon stands alone after the Titans released Hal Presley III, his fellow holdover from the 2025 practice squad, on May 8. If McCutcheon (and Presley) weren’t good enough to crack the depth chart in last year’s thin receiver room, McCutcheon probably doesn’t have a great shot in this year’s stronger room.<\/p>\n

12. Courtney Jackson<\/p>\n

The Titans claimed Jackson on waivers when they released Presley. That gives him a bit of an advantage, but not a huge one after a 2025 spent primarily on Seattle’s practice squad. Good thing to sign a champion, but not necessarily a contributor.<\/p>\n

11. Hank Beatty and 10. Tyren Montgomery<\/p>\n

A couple of undrafted free agents. Let’s give them a chance to prove they’re worth a developmental spot, but it’s far too early to speculate they’re better than proven options.<\/p>\n

9. K.J. Osborn<\/p>\n

Osborn was a pretty solid NFL starter from 2021-23, averaging 615 yards and five touchdowns per year. But he barely played in 2024 and didn’t see live action in 2025. Intriguing but hardly a sure thing.<\/p>\n

8. Xavier Restrepo and 7. Mason Kinsey<\/p>\n

Should Restrepo be higher than Kinsey at this point? Maybe. He’s younger, and his relationship with Cam Ward has to count for something. But no one’s ever made money betting against Kinsey finding a role in Nashville.<\/p>\n

6. Bryce Oliver<\/p>\n

Consider Oliver the clubhouse leader for the No. 6 receiver job, even with a new coaching staff in town and a 2025 season lost almost entirely to injury. His special teams value, and relationship with coordinator John Fassel, is immense.<\/p>\n

5. Elic Ayomanor and 4. Chimere Dike<\/p>\n

Ayomanor led the Titans in targets in 2025. This year, he’ll have an uphill climb to find his way on the field. Dike’s speed and versatility gives him an advantage in finding a specialized role. Ayomanor’s reliable, but he’s been replaced.<\/p>\n

3. Calvin Ridley, 2. Carnell Tate and 1. Wan’Dale Robinson<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the elephant in the room: Shouldn’t Tate be No. 1? Well, yes. And maybe he’s being groomed for that job. But if you’re betting on which receiver ends up being targeted the most in 2026, it’s impossible to bet against Robinson, who’s averaged 140 targets per year since 2024. Ridley’s probably the most talented player in the room, but his health and inconsistency makes it fair to project Tate ahead of him, even if Ridley might profile more traditionally as a No. 1 than anyone else on the squad.<\/p>\n
