Nick Westbrook-Ikhine News

Dolphins Release Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Monday, February 16, 10:05 AM

The Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on Monday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. In addition to Westbrook-Ikhine, the Dolphins also released receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and pass-rusher Bradley Chubb. The 28-year-old wasn't much of a factor on offense for Miami in his lone season with the team in 2025, even with Hill suffering a season-ending knee injury in the first half. Westbrook-Ikhine finished with just 11 receptions on 20 targets for 89 yards and no touchdowns in his 15 games played in his sixth year in the NFL. It was a major disappointment after he had a career year in 2024 with the Tennessee Titans in 17 games, when he caught 32 passes for 497 yards and nine touchdowns on 60 targets. He should latch on eventually with a new team, but he'll be in a depth role and will face an uphill battle for fantasy relevance.

Tutu Atwell News

Dolphins Sign Wideout Tutu Atwell to One-Year Deal

Thursday, March 12, 12:43 PM

The Miami Dolphins are signing former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Atwell, a Miami native, will return home. The addition of Davante Adams in L.A. last year meant that Atwell's role in the Rams' offense would be reduced after he had a combined 81 catches on 129 targets for 1,045 yards and three touchdowns in 33 regular-season games (19 starts) in 2023 and 2024. The 26-year-old former second-round pick in 2021 out of Louisville only caught six passes for 192 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets last year in 10 regular-season games (four starts). There just weren't many targets to go around for Rams receivers not named Adams or Puka Nacua. In Miami, Atwell will have a shot at a bigger role behind WR1 Jaylen Waddle while working with new quarterback Malik Willis, but it still might not be a favorable outlook for fantasy purposes. Atwell is more of a deep threat on offense, averaging 14.6 yards per catch in his five-year NFL career.
