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

Tuesday, March 11, 7:27 PM

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. The agreement is worth $6.5 million, with $3.2 million guaranteed. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off his best season as a pro in 2024. Despite not snagging his first catch until after the Titans' bye in Week 5, he'd go on to set career-highs with 497 yards and an impressive nine TDs. However, he posted just one game with more than three receptions. It's an interesting move for Miami, who continues to load up the offensive side of the ball. The 27-year-old's path to touches is not a clear one, as he'll vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as Jonnu Smith, who broke out last season, leading the team in receptions (88).

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington caught four of five targets for 48 yards in the season-ending 32-20 loss to the New York Jets. The rookie took on a more significant role later in the season with the injury to Jaylen Waddle (knee) and the lack of depth Miami has at the receiver position. In the last four games, Washington saw more targets, receptions, and yards than he had in any stretch this season. Tyreek Hill will surely be parting ways with the organization in the offseason, and he could find himself in a more prominent role when the 2025 season starts. Time will only tell, but the rookie has shown a level of promise that he looks to build off of when the NFL season comes around in September.
