Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Moving to a Larger Role

Saturday, October 4, 11:05 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will move up the depth chart to the third receiver for his team after Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season. Westbrook-Ikhine signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Miami this offseason, and now, he'll have a chance to contribute on a more regular basis. He played a season-high 47% of snaps in Week 4 when Hill was hurt and caught his one target for one yard. For the season, he only has four catches for 26 yards, but he should get many more opportunities going forward. Last year with the Titans, he showed a knack for finding the end zone with nine touchdowns on 32 catches for 497 yards. Miami's offense hasn't been extremely productive this year, but with more work comes the potential that NWI works his way to fantasy relevance. This week's matchup with the Panthers isn't a great one for receivers, though, leaving him as the WR69 in RotoBaller's rankings.

Keon Coleman Missed Bills' First Offensive Series of Week 5 for Disciplinary Reasons

Monday, October 6, 9:46 PM

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said wide receiver Keon Coleman did not play in the team's first offensive series against the New England Patriots in Week 5 for disciplinary reasons. Per The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia, McDermott also said that the disciplinary action stemmed from an incident in practice, and that the Bills "expect more" from the second-year wideout. Coleman recorded four catches for 23 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 5. For the season, he's hauled in 21 catches for 226 yards and two scores on 29 targets. It doesn't seem as though this incident will impact Coleman's playing time going forward, but it's still not a good sign for the 22-year-old. He profiles as a fantasy WR3/flex option heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
