Nick Westbrook-Ikhine News
Monday, February 16, 10:05 AM
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.

Alec Pierce News
Tuesday, March 3, 6:53 AM
The Indianapolis Colts are gaining positive momentum on a potential long-term deal with impending free-agent wide receiver Alec Pierce, and it "feels possible" that the two sides could strike a deal as soon as Tuesday, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. However, there is still a long way to go, and the situation will likely come down to the franchise-tag deadline on Tuesday afternoon. Holder adds that Pierce wants certainty at the quarterback position, so if Daniel Jones (Achilles) isn't signed to an extension, he won't have as much reason to sign a long-term deal himself with the Colts. Pierce was the Colts' leading receiver in 2025 and has led the NFL in yards per catch in each of the last two years. He had a career-high 47 catches last year for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns. Pierce's 2026 fantasy value will be tied to Jones' future in Indy and his injury status after tearing his Achilles late last season.
