Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old has found his groove as a big-play threat lately, totaling 15 catches and 244 yards over his last three contests. He was one of several benefactors during this week's strong offensive performance. The passing game found plenty of life as Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for 13 catches, 304 yards, and three touchdowns. This duo will look to build on its momentum when facing a surging Giants squad in Week 8. Brown is a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver at the moment.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has seen his snap share spike the last two weeks since the Tyreek Hill (knee) injury, but he has turned in no fantasy production as a result. As the Dolphins face the Browns this week, NWI will look to get involved in the offense after totaling just one catch over the last four weeks. Westbrook-Ikhine has become the team's third receiver over the last two weeks, playing 71% of snaps against the Panthers and 63% of the snaps against the Chargers. However, he has just one target and no catches despite being on the field for 76 plays. He has the potential to contribute since he's getting playing time, but the fact that Tua Tagovailoa doesn't throw the ball his way keeps him well off the fantasy radar this week in Cleveland, where he is the WR86 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.
