The Tennessee Titans announced that wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) is being placed on season-ending injured reserve with a hand injury. He will wrap up the campaign with 28 catches for 370 yards with three touchdowns. Tennessee signed linebacker Garret Wallow off of Houston's practice squad to fill his spot. Westbrook-Ikhine essentially operated as the WR2 for the majority of the season with Treylon Burks missing chunks of time with various ailments. The 26-year-old will be a free agent when the offseason arrives.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Active For Week 15 Versus Texans
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (illness) is officially active for Week 15 versus the Houston Texans. He had been listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice. Evidently, his condition improved over the final 48 hours before kickoff. Westbrook-Ikhine has played at least 75 percent of the Titans' offensive snaps over the last three games and should continue to operate as their No. 2 wide receiver alongside DeAndre Hopkins in Week 15. However, his production has remained somewhat limited, so he's only an appealing fantasy option in deep leagues.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (illness) was added to the injury report after missing practice on Friday. He is officially questionable to play against the Houston Texans in Week 15. The 26-year-old has delivered steady contributions this season, totaling 27 catches, 337 yards, and three touchdowns over the course of 13 games. Despite his solid role in the offense, he only has relevance in the deepest of fantasy leagues.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is the team's second-leading receiver, compiling 24 receptions for 281 yards and three touchdowns this season. If Treylon Burks (concussion) doesn't suit up against the Colts in Week 13, Westbrook-Ikhine can be viewed as a low-end flex play for deep-league fantasy managers. He has virtually no floor, but with six teams on a bye this week, the options are slim for Sunday's full slate. If Burks returns to action, Westbrook-Ikhine should be avoided altogether.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is tied with DeAndre Hopkins for the team lead in touchdown receptions this season (three). However, he has just 18 receptions for 224 yards through nine weeks. He's far from a safe fantasy option, but he does have deep league appeal l in a Week 10 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay surrendered 470 passing yards last week and has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to wideouts this season. With several big-name wideouts on a bye in Week 10, Westbrook-Ikhine can be utilized as a desperation flex option. The Titans' passing game has looked much improved under rookie quarterback Will Levis. Westbrook-Ikhine has outperformed Treylon Burks to this point, and Burks might miss this game with a concussion.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught his third touchdown of the season last week against the Atlanta Falcons, reintroducing himself to the fantasy football radar. Rookie quarterback Will Levis looked impressive in his NFL debut, tossing four touchdowns and zero interceptions. Heading into a matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wideouts, Westbrook-Ikhine is an intriguing deep league flex play. This likely depends on the game status of DeAndre Hopkins (toe), who is questionable with a toe injury. If Hopkins is out, Westbrook-Ikhine could operate as the team's No. 1 wide receiver. He or Treylon Burks would likely lead the team in targets. If Hopkins plays, he has a low floor and should likely be benched.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Scores Third Touchdown In Week 8
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught one of his two targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons. It was his third end zone trip of the season. DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes and three touchdowns, and Treylon Burks did not catch either of his two targets. So far this season, Westbrook-Ikhine has operated as the team's WR2. If Will Levis continues to shine after a four-touchdown debut, Westbrook-Ikhine could enter the fantasy radar in deep formats. For now, he should probably remain on the waiver wire heading into a Week 9 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Has Low Floor Against Ravens
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is the only receiver on the team to catch a touchdown this season. He has found the end zone twice, but his overall body of work hasn't made him a strong fantasy option heading into Week 6. In the absence of Treylon Burks (knee) in a favorable matchup for wideouts last week, Westbrook-Ikhine caught just one pass for nine yards. With the Titans set to play the Baltimore Ravens' stout defense, Westbrook-Ikhine should be viewed as nothing more than a touchdown-dependent flex option in ultra-deep leagues. This holds true even if Burks is out once again.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has hauled in 12 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns this season. The 26-year-old is far from a fantasy superstar, but if Treylon Burks (knee) misses the Week 5 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, he could be worth starting in deep formats. The Colts have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to wideouts this season, and Westbrook-Ikhine is the only Tennessee receiver with a touchdown grab. His floor is low in the inconsistent offense led by Ryan Tannehill, but deep league fantasy managers might have to consider him with several key pass-catchers on a bye this week.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Posts 51 Yards, Touchdown In Win
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine hauled in five of his six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in the 27-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old stepped into an increased role in the absence of Treylon Burks (knee) and delivered a solid outing. If Burks remains out against the Indianapolis Colts next week, Westbrook-Ikhine could be worth starting in deep leagues as a desperation flex play. In shallow leagues, he's not worth picking up just yet.
