Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Jalen Coker

Tuesday, March 11, 7:27 PM

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. The agreement is worth $6.5 million, with $3.2 million guaranteed. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off his best season as a pro in 2024. Despite not snagging his first catch until after the Titans' bye in Week 5, he'd go on to set career-highs with 497 yards and an impressive nine TDs. However, he posted just one game with more than three receptions. It's an interesting move for Miami, who continues to load up the offensive side of the ball. The 27-year-old's path to touches is not a clear one, as he'll vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as Jonnu Smith, who broke out last season, leading the team in receptions (88).

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (undisclosed) is working off to the side during Tuesday's practice as he deals with a soft-tissue injury. This move is out of an abundance of caution, according to head coach Dave Canales. After going unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft, Coker had a relatively productive rookie season. He secured 32 of his 46 targets for 478 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. The Holy Cross product was on the fantasy football radar on occasion last season and earned at least five targets in five games. While the team added first-round wideout Tetairoa McMillan in the 2025 NFL Draft, Coker could emerge into a full-time starter if Adam Thielen continues to get banged up in his age-35 season. Either way, he should be left on the waiver wire in traditional leagues since he'll likely start the year behind McMillan, Thielen, and 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette.
