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.
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.
