Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Malik Washington

Saturday, October 18, 6:14 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has seen his snap share spike the last two weeks since the Tyreek Hill (knee) injury, but he has turned in no fantasy production as a result. As the Dolphins face the Browns this week, NWI will look to get involved in the offense after totaling just one catch over the last four weeks. Westbrook-Ikhine has become the team's third receiver over the last two weeks, playing 71% of snaps against the Panthers and 63% of the snaps against the Chargers. However, he has just one target and no catches despite being on the field for 76 plays. He has the potential to contribute since he's getting playing time, but the fact that Tua Tagovailoa doesn't throw the ball his way keeps him well off the fantasy radar this week in Cleveland, where he is the WR86 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has stepped up as the team's second receiver since the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee). He hasn't been able to produce much yardage, though, coming into this week's matchup with the Browns. Washington has had four catches in each of the last two weeks, but hasn't had a play go for even 10 yards yet. He had four catches for no yards in Week 5, followed by four catches for 22 receiving yards last week against the Chargers. The increase in targets and catches is a good sign, but he hasn't been able to break out for any big gains. The Dolphins offense isn't vertical enough to make him a regular starting option at receiver right now, despite some big-play potential. He comes into this week ranked as RotoBaller's WR64 well off the radar in most formats.
