Who Should I Start? Dezmon Patmon or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

The Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on Monday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. In addition to Westbrook-Ikhine, the Dolphins also released receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and pass-rusher Bradley Chubb. The 28-year-old wasn't much of a factor on offense for Miami in his lone season with the team in 2025, even with Hill suffering a season-ending knee injury in the first half. Westbrook-Ikhine finished with just 11 receptions on 20 targets for 89 yards and no touchdowns in his 15 games played in his sixth year in the NFL. It was a major disappointment after he had a career year in 2024 with the Tennessee Titans in 17 games, when he caught 32 passes for 497 yards and nine touchdowns on 60 targets. He should latch on eventually with a new team, but he'll be in a depth role and will face an uphill battle for fantasy relevance.
