Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Jaylen Waddle

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.

Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier told reporters on Tuesday that the team plans to pick up the fifth-year options for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and pass-rusher Jaelan Phillips prior to the deadline. These moves don't come as much of a surprise, especially for Waddle, after he put up his third straight 1,000-yard season in 2023 to begin his NFL career. The 25-year-old is the first pass-catcher to do that in franchise history, and it's even more impressive doing it alongside All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill the last two years. Hill's presence limits Waddle's overall fantasy upside, but he's proven these last two seasons that there's still plenty to go around for Waddle in Miami's high-octane offense. Waddle will now be guaranteed to stick in Miami for the next two seasons.
