Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Kyle Williams

Friday, November 7, 8:34 PM

Miami Dolphins Nick Westbrook-Ikhine continues to operate as the team's third receiver behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington. He has drawn a total of 11 targets over the last three weeks while playing over 65% of snaps each week. He had two catches for 22 yards against the Ravens in Week 9, which was actually his best yardage production of the season. He hasn't been able to put up big totals in the dink and dunk offense of the Dolphins, and that doesn't seem likely to change in Week 10 against the Bills. He brings a little touchdown-dependent upside, but he's only the No. 70 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, so there are probably better options available in most formats.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams should continue to see more involvement during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. Williams is coming off a strong outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which he posted a season-high (and, thus, career-high) 56 percent snap share. He caught one of two targets in the victory, breaking off an impressive 72-yard touchdown that wound up on numerous highlight reels. While we can't count on the rookie to break off a huge touchdown every week, last Sunday's big play should be enough to earn him more opportunities going forward. His volume will also continue to benefit from the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), who is headed for his second consecutive absence. Williams still has to compete with players like Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas for volume, but he's certainly starting to earn the trust of Drake Maye and New England's coaching staff. Williams is a WR5 with a low floor and high ceiling this week. Managers in most leagues can leave him on the bench until we see him consistently earn more targets.
