Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Isaac TeSlaa

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is back at practice after missing June minicamp due to an undisclosed injury. He had a good day on Friday when he caught a 25-yard pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. It's nice to see the two of them building chemistry together. Westbrook-Ikhine signed a two-year, $5.99 million deal with the Dolphins over the offseason. He hauled in 32 receptions for 497 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 17 games with the Tennessee Titans last season. He figures to be the third wideout behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (illness) does not carry an injury designation into their Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The rookie wideout was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday. However, he was able to log a full session on Friday and avoid a questionable tag into the weekend. TeSlaa was selected in the third round (70th overall) in this year's NFL Draft out of Arkansas. During the preseason, TeSlaa flashed immense potential and made a strong case to open the season in a prominent role. Earlier in August, the Lions opted to trade veteran wideout Tim Patrick to the Jacksonville Jaguars, which opened the No. 3 spot for either TeSlaa or Kalif Raymond. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his workload in the opener, as he could be worth adding in deeper 3-WR leagues if he were to carve out a significant role. However, for the time being, he is best to keep out of starting lineups, playing in a crowded offense.
