Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Tre Tucker

Friday, November 14, 10:49 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has played a lot of snaps since the injury to Tyreek Hill (knee), but he hasn't turned that into much production. His snap share also dropped a little bit last week against the Bills, even though he still played 47% of snaps, the second-most of any receiver on the team. In that game, Westbrook-Ikhine only had one catch for seven yards and has only had four catches in the last three weeks combined. He's in a favorable matchup early on Sunday morning against the Commanders, but he's not getting enough work to be a regular contributor in most fantasy formats. He's the WR83 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings.

Las Vegas Raiders third-year wide receiver Tre Tucker has become the team's top receiving option outside of All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers, and on Monday night, he found the endzone for the first time since his Week 3 three-touchdown breakout. With Geno Smith barely throwing for over 200 yards per game, while throwing only 12 touchdowns in 10 games, there isn't a ton of fantasy value to be gleaned from the Raiders' passing attack, especially with Bowers commanding double-digit targets in two of his three games since returning from a knee injury. That said, Tucker's 54 targets and 38 receptions on the year put him in a different stratosphere than the rest of the Raiders' wide receivers. With Jakobi Meyers no longer on the roster, Tyler Lockett's eight receptions over his three games since being acquired rank second on the team by wide receivers. Tucker has displayed the explosiveness to find the occasional fantasy ceiling in a bleak situation. As the team continues to make him more of a focal point, he should be able to provide a safer floor as well.
