BALLER MOVE: Don't Add
ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With the quarterback situation being fluid and not much fantasy relevance throughout his career, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine still shouldn't be considered as a fantasy option yet. He caught five passes on six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Week 9, but he did so against the New England Patriots.

He's caught touchdowns in his last four games, but has averaged just four targets and 2.5 receptions in them. He's not heavily involved as a receiver, and clearly won't take over the WR1 job from starting wideout Calvin Ridley. He also has to face the tough ?Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 10.
It's always a useful exercise to ignore a player's touchdowns and see how much they're targeted and how many yards they're picking up to gauge future fantasy relevance. TDs are highly unpredictable, and can come in bunches, then disappear for the rest of the season. Wait for more consistent production before picking up NWI.
The return of starting QB Will Levis could also throw a wrench in his production. It's possible backup Mason Rudolph is the sole reason for his uptick in fantasy scoring.
