3 months agoTennessee Titans wide receiver
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine caught four passes for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Houston Texans. It was the most receptions in a game for Westbrook-Ikhine since Week 9, and he tied with tight end
Josh Whyle for most targets on the team (seven). While it was one of his best performances in the last few games, that's not saying much based on his recent struggles–averaging just 26.4 receiving yards per game in the five outings to close the season. Coming up, Westbrook-Ikhine is an unrestricted free agent this offseason. His fantasy draft value will slightly depend on what situation he ends up in, but the 27-year-old wideout will be a late-round selection in most leagues.

3 months agoTennessee Titans wide receiver
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has struggled to rack up numbers recently, averaging just 20.5 receiving yards per game and managing to score only once over the last four weeks. He will look to bounce back against the Houston Texans in the regular season finale. In Week 18, he is faced with the sixth-best pass defense in the league and will have to deal with a turbulent situation at quarterback with
Will Levis back in the mix. However,
Tyler Boyd (foot) has been ruled out for the Titans' contest against Houston, and Westbrook-Ikhine could be in line for more targets. This could mean more looks for the fifth-year WR, but Westbrook-Ikhine still caps out as a fringe option for deeper leagues.

3 months agoTennessee Titans wide receiver
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine managed three catches for 37 yards in a 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. On the bright side, Westbrook-Ikhine was thrown to six times–good enough to be tied for second-most on his team and his personal best since Week 13. While it was one of his best performances over the last month, it wasn't much to write home about as the Titans wideout's struggles continue. His consistently disappointing showings lately have diminished his fantasy value harshly, and heading into the season finale against Houston, Westbrook-Ikhine will struggle to find his way into managers' lineups.

3 months agoFantasy managers have good reason to be wary of Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. A worrying stretch continued for Westbrook-Ikhine last week, as he caught just two balls for 17 yards against the Indianapolis Colts. While one was good for a touchdown, it was an overall down performance for a wideout who seemed to show so much fantasy promise about a month ago. Westbrook-Ikhine's snap percentage has steadily declined over his last four appearances, down to 90% in Week 16. He's also averaging just three targets per game in the previous three weeks. Perhaps Westbrook-Ikhine can revive some of that spark from Weeks 8 through 13 against a Jaguars defense allowing the fourth-most points to fantasy wide receivers this year, but given his recent lack of production, it seems unlikely. He's only an option in deeper leagues for what is championship week for most.
