Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Continues Impressive Touchdown Production
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine scored two more touchdowns and finished with 61 yards on a team-high eight targets on Sunday in a 42-19 loss to the Washington Commanders. He continues to find the end zone at an amazing rate and has eight touchdowns on the season while posting just 20 catches. NWI has only caught more than three passes in one game all year but has found the end zone in seven of his last eight contests. He's clearly become the Titans' second receiver after the trade of DeAndre Hopkins and his growing target share is a good sign for him coming into a very favorable stretch of matchups. Westbrook-Ikhine is a strong WR3 with WR2 upside in Week 13 against the Jaguars if he continues to make such regular trips to the end zone
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Worth Starting Versus Washington
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had a quiet start to the 2024-25 campaign. However, things have gone in a different direction, with the 27-year-old finding the end zone in six of his previous seven appearances. Granted, it would be nice if he had more catches, especially for those participating in PPR formats. Still, Westbrook-Ikhine appears to have a good thing going with Will Levis, so he warrants consideration for fantasy lineups. With that in mind, he's still a risky fantasy option in Week 13 versus the Commanders.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Records 117 Yards, Touchdown In Loss To Minnesota
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught two of six targets for 117 yards and a touchdown vs. the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. The Indiana product was almost invisible until the 3rd quarter, when Will Levis hit him on the right sideline for a 98-yard score, the longest in his career. Westbrook-Ikine continues to prove his reliability as a second target for quarterback Will Levis, with five touchdowns in his last six games. While he only corralled two passes, Westbrook-Ikine made the most of his opportunities, and tied for the team lead in targets. He will be a low-end flex next week in a tough matchup with divisional rival Houston.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Only A Deep-League Flex Option Vs. Vikings
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will face the Vikings in Week 11 NFL action this Sunday. The career Titan has really stepped up as the second wide-receiver on this team when DeAndre Hopkins left, leading the team in receiving touchdowns with four. Calvin Ridley is still far and away the top option in the passing game for whoever is quarterbacking the Titans, but Westbrook-Ikine has been a sneaky reliable play for the most part since Week 7, finishing as a top-36 fantasy WR three times. The Vikings have not been great at stopping opposing wideouts, as they currently rank 30th against the position, but quarterback Will Levis will likely be under heavy pressure all game which does not bode well for his #2 receiver. The Indiana product is only a flex option in deeper formats for Week 11.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Unlikely To Continue Production In Week 10 At Chargers
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. The undrafted receiver out of Indiana has taken advantage of the extra opportunity afforded to him after DeAndre Hopkins was traded, posting a touchdown in four straight games. In the past two weeks he's seen 10 targets, second on the team behind Calvin Ridley. Westbrook-Ikhine has seemed to develop a solid rapport with quarterback Mason Rudolph right at the time that Will Levis takes back the top signal-caller spot for the Titans. Because of this, he's off the fantasy radar in Week 10 against a Chargers defense that has been extremely hard to move the ball against.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Finds The End Zone Again On Sunday
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had five receptions (six targets) for 50 yards in Sunday's win over the New England Patriots. The 27-year-old also found the end zone in this one, extending his streak to four consecutive games with a touchdown. With DeAndre Hopkins now in Kansas City, there is room for others to step up on the receiving end behind Calvin Ridley. While Westbrook-Ikhine will eventually cool off, fantasy managers can continue to start him in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine A High-Risk Flex Option In Deeper Formats
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could be worth a look as a high-risk flex option in deep three-WR formats in Week 9. Last weekend, the 27-year-old eclipsed double-digit PPR points for the first time this season and found the end zone for the third straight week. This weekend, Westbrook-Ikhine could continue to have a prominent role in the Tennessee passing attack, as wideout Tyler Boyd (shoulder) is listed as questionable. If Boyd cannot suit up, Westbrook-Ikhine would be deployed as the clear No. 2 wide receiver opposite of Calvin Ridley. He could enjoy another productive weekend facing the Patriots, who have allowed the 19th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Puts Up 39 Yards, Touchdown vs. Detroit
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught two passes on four targets or 39 yards and a touchdown in a blowout loss to the Lions on Sunday. With the departure of DeAndre Hopkins, all signs pointed to Tyler Boyd being the WR who would step up vs. Detroit but it was Westbrook-Ikhine who had the much better fantasy day. Boyd still out-targeted the former Indiana star, but the latter caught the only touchdown pass on the day from quarterback Mason Rudolph, a well-run slant from six yards out. Calvin Ridley is still the alpha wideout in this offense by a long shot based on his 39% target share on Sunday, but Westbrook-Ikhine has scored a touchdown in three straight games and continues to be a reliable target for whoever is playing quarterback for the Titans. He will look to continue his scoring streak next week against the Patriots.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Ready For More Involvement In Week 8?
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has only three catches this season. However, two of them resulted in a trip to the end zone. While the 27-year-old has a way to go before earning trust from fantasy managers, the door is open for more involvement after DeAndre Hopkins was traded to the Chiefs. Granted, Tyler Boyd could also significantly benefit from Hopkins' departure. But Westbrook-Ikhine is at least worth adding to fantasy rosters in case he gets more involved moving ahead. For now, fantasy managers would be taking a risk by including him in their starting lineups for Week 8 versus the Lions.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Finds The End Zone Versus Seattle
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught two of his four targets for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Seattle. While Nick Westbrook-Ikhine didn't get as many looks as some of the other wideouts on the roster, he made the most of his limited targets, pulling in a 15-yard pass from Mason Rudolph near the end of the second quarter. The 27-year-old has had flashes of production in his four seasons with the Titans, totaling 94 receptions for 1,276 yards and 10 touchdowns. However, the Titans have depth at the wide receiver position, meaning Nick Westbrook-Ikhine won't be consistently involved. With that said, he could still have a few decent outings during the 2024-25 campaign. Tennessee will end the preseason with a trip to New Orleans to meet the Saints.
