Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Kendall Hinton

Saturday, September 6, 10:05 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine came to Miami this past offseason on a two-year, $6.5 million contract, but he doesn't look like he'll be very involved in Week 1. Westbrook-Ikhine showed a nose for the end zone in his five seasons in Tennessee and had nine touchdowns last year on just 32 catches for 497 yards. He's a big red-zone target that could emerge as a goal-line favorite for Tua Tagovailoa, but he doesn't have a clear path to a role coming into the year. One potential spot he could step into would be to fill in for Darren Waller (hip), since the Dolphins don't have any obvious pass-catching options at tight end. He's a long shot to be involved, though, so Westbrook-Ikhine is the WR99 coming into the week in the RotoBaller rankings, since he's behind at least Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Malik Washington in the Dolphins' receiver room.

Wide receiver Kendall Hinton was let go by the Denver Broncos in a round of cuts on Sunday. The undrafted wide receiver caught 24 passes for 311 yards in the 2022 season, both of which were career-high totals. Hinton is best known for starting a game at quarterback during the 2020 season when the NFL ruled all of Denver's signal callers were ineligible due to exposure to COVID. He was applauded for stepping in, even though the stats (1-for-9 passing for 13 yards and two interceptions) told a different story.
