Nick Westbrook-Ikhine May Be More Involved

Wednesday, September 17, 6:32 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has operated as the team's No. 4 receiver so far this season, but he could move up the depth chart for Week 3 against the Bills, depending on the status of Jaylen Waddle (shoulder, questionable). Westbrook-Ikhine could potentially help fill the middle of the field in the absence of Darren Waller (hip) for a third straight week, but so far, his role has been minimal. He played 21 snaps in Week 1 and 16 snaps in Week 2. He was targeted multiple times in both games, finishing with one catch for seven yards in Week 1 and two catches for 18 yards in Week 2. If Waddle is out or limited, Westbrook-Ikhine could be very important for Thursday Night Football DFS contests as a bargain option. He's the WR102 in the RotoBaller Week 3 rankings, though, so he's still a ways from season-long relevance.

Colts Rule Out Alec Pierce for Week 4

Friday, September 26, 1:35 PM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen has ruled out wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) from the Week 4 contest this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. Things were trending this way after Pierce missed all three practices this week. The 25-year-old will look to clear the league's concussion protocol next before a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. With Pierce sidelined this weekend, quarterback Daniel Jones will be forced to lean more on receivers Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Adonai Mitchell. Impressive rookie tight end Tyler Warren will also have a higher ceiling as the Colts look to stay undefeated in a tough matchup against the Rams' defense. Pierce has been a pretty steady target of Jones through three games, catching nine of 13 targets for 171 yards, but he has yet to score.
