Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Moving to a Larger Role

Saturday, October 4, 11:05 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will move up the depth chart to the third receiver for his team after Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season. Westbrook-Ikhine signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Miami this offseason, and now, he'll have a chance to contribute on a more regular basis. He played a season-high 47% of snaps in Week 4 when Hill was hurt and caught his one target for one yard. For the season, he only has four catches for 26 yards, but he should get many more opportunities going forward. Last year with the Titans, he showed a knack for finding the end zone with nine touchdowns on 32 catches for 497 yards. Miami's offense hasn't been extremely productive this year, but with more work comes the potential that NWI works his way to fantasy relevance. This week's matchup with the Panthers isn't a great one for receivers, though, leaving him as the WR69 in RotoBaller's rankings.
