Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Xavier Legette

Friday, November 7, 8:34 PM

Miami Dolphins Nick Westbrook-Ikhine continues to operate as the team's third receiver behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington. He has drawn a total of 11 targets over the last three weeks while playing over 65% of snaps each week. He had two catches for 22 yards against the Ravens in Week 9, which was actually his best yardage production of the season. He hasn't been able to put up big totals in the dink and dunk offense of the Dolphins, and that doesn't seem likely to change in Week 10 against the Bills. He brings a little touchdown-dependent upside, but he's only the No. 70 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, so there are probably better options available in most formats.

Xavier Legette may have increased involvement in the passing game in this week's matchup against the Saints in Week 10. The Carolina WR was a non-factor last week against the Green Bay Packers, only logging one reception for 22 yards. Tetairoa McMillan was limited in Friday's practice with a hamstring injury and is questionable to start in Week 10. The rookie has been the Panthers' top receiver this season with 12.1 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. If McMillan misses Sunday's game, Legette is likely to move up on the depth chart and become one of Bryce Young's top targets. Although Legette has not been productive for fantasy players this season, there was one notable exception: Week 7 against the Jets. In that game, Legette was the top receiver targeted as he had nine receptions for 92 yards, one receiving touchdown, and recorded 24.2 PPR fantasy points. So it is possible he could provide more fantasy production in an expanded role. Monitor McMillan's status before Sunday's game, and if he is out, consider Legette as a deeper flex play for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.
