Who Should I Start? Denzel Mims or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Tuesday, October 8, 2:18 PM

Free-agent wide receiver Denzel Mims is working out for the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, according to team reporter Todd Archer. The team is lacking wideout depth after Brandin Cooks (knee) landed on Injured Reserve with a knee injury, so the former second-round pick is aiming to join the roster or practice squad. Mims was selected by the New York Jets in 2020 and has spent time with four NFL organizations. He has totaled 42 receptions on 92 targets for 676 yards and no touchdowns in 30 career games (all with the Jets). He did not play in a game last season. Even if Mims signs with Dallas, it would be surprising if he earns a meaningful enough role to be anywhere near the fantasy football radar. For now, expect CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, and Jalen Tolbert to operate as Dak Prescott's No. 1, 2, and 3 options in the passing attack.

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.
