Marquise Brown Misses Practice With Illness; Role Dwindling

Wednesday, October 29, 2:12 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) was absent from practice on Wednesday. Brown failed to haul in his lone target on Monday night against the Commanders and has struggled to remain fantasy relevant with the return of Rashee Rice. In the two games since Rice returned, Brown has seen a total of five targets, resulting in two catches for 14 yards and a touchdown. If Brown continues to miss time this week, fantasy owners should be comfortable benching the big-play receiver ahead of a Week 9 matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine News

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Serving as Dolphins Third Receiver

Saturday, October 25, 8:45 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has stepped into a much larger role in the last few weeks since Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season. He played over 60% of snaps in each of the last three weeks, and last week, he finally started to get more involved. He had three catches for 16 yards on four targets last week after only totaling four catches in the first six games of the year. Despite his upward trend, he's in a tough matchup against the Falcons this week, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers this year. Westbrook-Ikhine is only the No. 77 WR in RotoBaller's rankings due to the difficult matchup and Miami's struggling offense, so he shouldn't be started in hardly any formats this week.
