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

Saturday, October 25, 8:45 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has stepped into a much larger role in the last few weeks since Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season. He played over 60% of snaps in each of the last three weeks, and last week, he finally started to get more involved. He had three catches for 16 yards on four targets last week after only totaling four catches in the first six games of the year. Despite his upward trend, he's in a tough matchup against the Falcons this week, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers this year. Westbrook-Ikhine is only the No. 77 WR in RotoBaller's rankings due to the difficult matchup and Miami's struggling offense, so he shouldn't be started in hardly any formats this week.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has been the most reliable pass catcher for the team this season, recording 29 receptions for 389 yards and four touchdowns in seven games. Tucker leads the team in receiving yards and touchdowns, and is tied with Jakobi Meyers for the lead in receptions. The 24-year-old wideout could see more opportunities in the second half of the season with the trade deadline looming on November 4th and Meyers' name being brought up in multiple reports. Tucker will have to compete with star tight end Brock Bowers, however, as he is expected to return to the lineup after battling a knee injury that has caused him to miss three games. Tucker is a player to monitor on the waiver wire, but the current state of the Raiders' offense limits some of the upside.
