Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Dyami Brown

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown is firmly in the mix as a waiver-wire pickup before the team's Week 9 contest on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders after the Jaguars placed rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday due to a knee injury that he suffered in Thursday's practice. Brown and Parker Washington are both worthy waiver-wire pickups with expanded roles coming in Jacksonville's passing game alongside Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder). The 25-year-old Brown is only rostered in 2% of Yahoo leagues currently, but he should be seeing a drastic bump in volume and added targets in the coming weeks. He enters this weekend's action with 16 catches on 27 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown in six games so far this season. Washington should probably be the priority off waivers for fantasy managers in need of WR help.
