The Tennessee Titans will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
Is Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Playing in Week 16?
Westbrook-Ikhine did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to an ankle issue. However, he returned to a full practice on Friday and is not listed on the final injury report. Regardless of NWI’s status, he is not on the fantasy radar.
We’ll continue to monitor the Titans’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in Week 16?
Don’t you love it when regression works the way it’s supposed to?
No? Just me?
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was scoring once every 4.8 targets for over two months, and I don’t think I ranked him as a top-40 option once.
No…I know I didn’t. And I was wrong plenty. I went the other way in just about every question that came in on Twitter, and I’m sure I cost some people some matchups.
But water has finally begun to find its level.
There have been a few misses, I’ll give you that. Westbrook-Ikhine’s role near the goal line is certainly noteworthy, but nothing in this profile outside of a crazy scoring spurt requires our attention — and that includes the offensive environment as a whole.
Westbrook-Ikhine has not been a top-60 receiver in consecutive games and safely, again, ranks well outside of my Flex tier this week. He earned just two targets in the first meeting with the Colts (Week 6), one of which, of course, was a score. If you want to chase that, go ahead. It’s not for me and never will be.
