Ryan Tannehill said he has a "ton of confidence" in WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
Insert the Snoop Dog "who" gif. In Week 3 against the Colts, with A.J. Brown and Julio Jones sidelined with hamstring injuries, Westbrook-Ikhine led Tennessee with 25 pass routes and four catches on four targets for 53 yards. He also drew a crucial pass interference call, setting up a Jeremy McNichols touchdown. "He does the dirty work for us," Tannehill said of Westbrook-Ikhine, who had 144 receptions for 2,226 yards with 16 touchdowns in four seasons at Indiana. "He gets in there and blocks. He is physical. He is tough. He is a versatile guy who has size and strength, and who has made some big plays for us. I have a ton of confidence in Nick." He could be Tennessee's No. 1 wideout in Week 4 against the Jets, though Josh Reynolds' (foot) possible return could throw a wrench in Westbrook-Ikhine's role. He should be considered an option this week in fantasy leagues with multiple flex spots.
