Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine managed three catches for 37 yards in a 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. On the bright side, Westbrook-Ikhine was thrown to six times-;good enough to be tied for second-most on his team and his personal best since Week 13. While it was one of his best performances over the last month, it wasn't much to write home about as the Titans wideout's struggles continue. His consistently disappointing showings lately have diminished his fantasy value harshly, and heading into the season finale against Houston, Westbrook-Ikhine will struggle to find his way into managers' lineups.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had two receptions for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-30 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. The situation with Westbrook-Ikhine is getting increasingly complicated, as it previously seemed that when he could find the end zone, he was a very promising fantasy option. His six-yard touchdown reception was the first time he has found the end zone since Week 13. It also took a while for him to get involved, with his score coming midway through the fourth quarter. Currently, no Tennessee wideout is a reliable start for fantasy playoffs, but Westbrook-Ikhine, in particular, should be downgraded as an option solely for deeper leagues in the future. The 27-year-old is a boom-or-bust FLEX in a plus matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17.

According to Turron Davenport of ESPN, wide receivers Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (ankle) and Tyler Boyd (foot) both returned to practice on Friday. This is a great sign for their status heading into the weekend as both were listed as non-participants during the first two practices of the week. Fantasy managers should monitor Friday's final injury report as both wideouts may carry an injury designation into the weekend given their non-participation earlier in the week. After tallying eight touchdown in eight games during Weeks 6 through 13, Westbrook-Ikhine has brought in just three passes over his past two games. Boyd has tallied at least 35 yards in three of his past four games while operating as the clear No.3 option. If one of the wideouts were to sit out, Calvin Ridley would see a significant uptick in targets.

According to Terry McCormick of the Titans Insider, wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (ankle) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday afternoon. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's session, as he could be in danger of missing Sunday's game. After finding the end zone eight times during Weeks 6 through 13 (eight games), Westbrook has just brought in three passes over his previous two games. Last weekend, Westbrook-Ikhine caught two passes for nine yards and did not show any injury concern during the game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as he would open up more opportunities for Tyler Boyd if he were to sit out. No.1 wide receiver Calvin Ridley would see the most significant target increase in his absence and could be a viable high-floor flex option facing the Indianapolis Colts.

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 Commanders. He continues to find the end zone at an amazing rate and has eight touchdowns on the season while posting just 20 catches. He 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. He's a strong WR3 with WR2 upside in Week 13 against the Jaguars if he continues to make such regular trips to the end zone
Dec 1, 2024 7:42 PM EST
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.
Nov 30, 2024 12:59 AM EST
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.
Nov 17, 2024 10:15 PM EST
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.
Nov 15, 2024 6:51 PM EST
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.
Nov 8, 2024 6:09 PM EST
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.
Nov 3, 2024 5:46 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could be worth a look as a high-risk flex option in deep 3WR 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.
Nov 2, 2024 2:38 PM EST
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.
Oct 27, 2024 8:56 PM EST
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.
Oct 26, 2024 4:43 PM EST
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.
Aug 18, 2024 11:28 AM EST
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.
Dec 21, 2023 9:38 AM EST
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.
Dec 17, 2023 11:53 AM EST
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.
Dec 15, 2023 4:37 PM EST
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.
Nov 30, 2023 2:25 PM EST
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.
Nov 9, 2023 7:20 PM EST
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.
