Chimere Dike

Wide ReceiverWR
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Dike is coming off his first season as the WR1 in Madison, and he’ll look to continue to hold that title this fall. The wideout posted 47 catches for 689 yards and six touchdowns as a junior, but was somewhat held back by Wisconsin’s painfully inept passing game. Dike will get a fresh start with new starting quarterback Tanner Mordecai and new offensive coordinator Phil Longo, who is set to implement a much more explosive, pass-heavy attack than the Badgers deployed with Graham Mertz and Paul Chryst. Wisconsin did bring in four transfer receivers, all of whom have the talent to immediately compete for snaps. Dike, however, is the most experienced receiver on the offense and should remain a top target this fall. He won’t wow you with his physical traits, but his soft hands and ability after the catch should help him stay on the field. Longo’s offense operates at a breakneck pace, and therefore receivers are rotated more often than in other systems, but the snaps and targets should be there for the taking for Dike in his senior year.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
As a pass-catcher in a historically run-heavy offense, there was little Dike could do to increase his meager 33 targets as Wisconsin’s fourth-leading receiver last season. Nevertheless, the Badgers’ top returning wideout did show flashes of potential as he hauled in 19 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown in an all-around stagnant offense. This overall ineffectiveness was enough to warrant a coaching change for the Badgers, who brought in first-time offensive coordinator Bobby Engram: the former wide receivers and then tight ends coach for the Baltimore Ravens. So, even if he doesn’t register any stat-stuffing performances, Dike’s production should stand to improve as the team’s presumptive No. 1 wideout in 2022; though, Dike’s ultimate potential will be tied to the play of junior quarterback Graham Mertz, who has yet to produce a consistent passing campaign over the past two seasons.
