Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Isiah Pacheco

The Tennessee Titans announced that wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) is being placed on season-ending injured reserve with a hand injury. He will wrap up the campaign with 28 catches for 370 yards with three touchdowns. Tennessee signed linebacker Garret Wallow off of Houston's practice squad to fill his spot. Westbrook-Ikhine essentially operated as the WR2 for the majority of the season with Treylon Burks missing chunks of time with various ailments. The 26-year-old will be a free agent when the offseason arrives.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle/toe) couldn't get much going in Super Bowl LVIII, but his team still topped the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 to come away with their third championship in the past four years. Pacheco carried the ball 18 times for 59 yards and added six receptions for 33 yards, but it was a rough evening all around for the 2022 seventh-rounder. Pacheco lost a fumble with the Chiefs in a goal-to-go to stall a potential scoring drive in the second quarter and nearly coughed it up again on a failed handoff to open the second half. It was a disappointing outcome in the box score, considering the Niners had gotten trampled on the ground during the postseason. The 24-year-old dealt with some tough injury luck down the stretch of the campaign, but Pacheco solidified himself as a fully capable workhorse in 2023 and will enter 2024 as an early-round fantasy pick with top-12 positional expectations in all likelihood.
