Scores twice in blowout loss
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on eight targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine enjoyed the benefits of Will Levis taking to the air a season-high 37 times by recording his highest target total of the campaign. He struggled to convert that into receptions, though he was impactful with his catches by tallying a pair of scores from 27 and 17 yards. Westbrook-Ikhine now has 10 touchdowns on only 23 receptions, an unsustainable pace. On the other hand, he has found the end zone eight times in his last eight games.

Another long score
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions on five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine continues to see his role in the Tennessee offense tick up, as he has at least five targets in three of his last four games. While his connection with Will Levis is sporadic, he's made a habit of finding his way behind the defense, and that moment came late in the first quarter against the Texans when he recorded a 38-yard touchdown while splitting two defenders. Westbrook-Ikhine remains a risky streaming option given that he's recorded more than two receptions in a game only…read more

Records 98-yard reception Sunday
Westbrook-Ikhine had two receptions (six targets) for 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine struggled overall in Sunday's loss, but he and quarterback Will Levis caught the defense sleeping with a 98-yard touchdown on third-and-long in the third quarter. It was the wideout's fifth touchdown catch over his last six contests, although he's recorded two or fewer receptions in four of those games. Westbrook-Ikhine is a TD-dependent option outside of deeper leagues heading into next Sunday's matchup versus Houston.

Touchdown streak ends
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three catches (on three targets) for 31 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was on the field for every offensive snap, though he failed to command at least four targets for the first time since Week 6. His streak of four games with a touchdown also came to an end, and he's reached 50 yards only once for the campaign. Both his usage and production make him an unreliable option heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Vikings.

Scores in fourth straight
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded five receptions (on six targets) for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-14 overtime win against the Patriots.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine had his best performance of the season, posting his most targets, receptions and yards. He caught a six-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to give the Titans the lead and now has found the end zone in four consecutive games. Unlike the past contests, Westbrook-Ikhine supplemented his score with additional production, as three of his five receptions went for double-digit yards. While Calvin Ridley dominates targets, Westbrook-Ikhine has gained a more significant role in…read more

Finds end zone again
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions (on four targets) for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine played a season-high 92 percent of offensive snaps after the departure of DeAndre Hopkins. The former also had his most productive game thanks to two splash plays. The first came on a touchdown catch early in the second quarter from five yards away -- his third consecutive game with a score. Westbrook-Ikhine later caught a 34-yard deep pass to set the Titans up near the goal line just before halftime. The state of Tennessee's offense makes weekly production tough to depend on,…read more

Should have spot in three-wide sets
Westbrook-Ikhine is expected to move into a regular role in three-receiver sets beginning with Sunday's game against the Lions after the Titans traded DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs on Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though he could slide down a spot in the pecking order at receiver when or if Treylon Burks (knee) returns from injured reserve, Westbrook-Ikhine projects to see the biggest bump in snaps following Hopkins' departure. Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd will presumably continue to see more targets from quarterbacks Will Levis (shoulder) and Mason Rudolph, however, so Westbrook-Ikhine could struggle to carve out enough volume to attain fantasy relevance in a weak Tennessee passing offense.…read more

Scores another touchdown
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions on four targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine has only three catches for the season, though he's found the end zone with two. He accounted for Tennessee's only touchdown with a four-yard reception early in the second quarter of Sunday's loss. Westbrook-Ikhine could see an increased snap rate in Week 8 against Detroit if DeAndre Hopkins (leg) remains beat up, but the Titans' passing offense makes it difficult to trust any individual player to produce consistently.

Finds end zone with first catch
Westbrook-Ikhine brought in his only target for a nine-yard touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine continued to see the majority of his work on special teams, though he did see his first target of the season. He converted that opportunity into a nine-yard touchdown catch midway through the first quarter as he went uncovered into the corner of the end zone.

Still no targets
Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine took the field for 25 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's loss, his highest mark of the season. Despite that, he has still yet to record a target this season.

No targets through two weeks
Westbrook-Ikhine played 10 of the Titans' 66 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: After logging at least half of the Titans' snaps in 12 of his 14 appearances in 2023, Westbrook-Ikhine has seen his playing time diminish under Tennessee's new coaching staff. The offseason additions of Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd have pushed him down the depth chart, but Westbrook-Ikhine hasn't taken advantage of DeAndre Hopkins being limited to 26- and 43-percent snap shares in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively, while easing back in from a knee injury that surfaced in training camp.…read more

Not targeted in Week 1 loss
Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Even with DeAndre Hopkins limited by a knee injury, Westbrook-Ikhine saw 20 snaps on special teams as opposed to only 12 on offense. He figures to continue to serve in a depth role.

Staying with Titans
Westbrook-Ikhine is signing a one-year contract to stay with Tennessee, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: He reaches the agreement a week before his 27th birthday, following a third straight campaign in the range of 350-500 receiving yards with either three or four touchdowns. Westbrook-Ikhine started 29 of his 47 games the past three years but is more likely to come off the bench now that the Titans have added Calvin Ridley to a WR room that returns DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. At this point, Westbrook-Ikhine should be recovered from the hand injury that sent him to injured reserve for the…read more

Lands on IR
Tennessee placed Westbrook-Ikhine on injured reserve Wednesday due to a hand injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: With the Titans eliminated from playoff contention, Westbrook-Ikhine's 2023 season has come to a close due to the injury. The wideout will finish the campaign with a 28-370-3 receiving line on 45 targets through 14 games. The 26-year-old is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. In his absence down the stretch, Treylon Burks and Chris Moore could see added snaps at receiver behind No. 1 option DeAndre Hopkins.

One long catch
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one catch on two targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was limited to one or fewer catches for the second time in his last three games and for the eighth time this season. Treylon Burks appears to be fully healthy once again, which caused Westbrook-Ikhine's snap count to dip to a season-low 48 percent.

Suiting up in Week 15
Westbrook-Ikhine (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was added to the injury report Friday due to an illness, but he'll be ready to suit up for a divisional showdown. He's on the field regularly for the Titans' offense, though he has topped 30 receiving yards just twice in the last seven games.

Questionable to face Houston
Westbrook-Ikhine (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was a late-week addition to the injury report, missing practice Friday. With Kyle Philips (hamstring) already ruled out for Week 15, the Titans could be down to DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks and Chris Moore as their main wideouts Sunday.

Makes two catches
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions on four targets for 28 yards in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins. He also caught a pass to convert a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was on the field for a season-best 90 percent of offensive snaps, though that didn't translate to additional production. Since the team's bye in Week 7, he has topped 30 receiving yards just twice in seven contests. Westbrook-Ikhine did convert a key two-point conversion for the Titans midway through the fourth quarter, his most significant contribution to the victory.

Targeted three times
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one reception on three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine finished as the fourth-most targeted pass catcher in the Tennessee offense, most notably behind Chigoziem Okonkwo. He now has only one catch in five of his last six games while topping 30 yards twice in that span.

More involved in offense
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded four receptions on five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine entered Sunday's game having recorded only one reception in four consecutive games. However, he saw both his snap and target rate tick up against the Panthers, and he managed to tally his highest yardage total since Week 4. Westbrook-Ikhine did the majority of his damage on an 18-yard catch just before halftime to help set up a field goal for the Titans and will look to replicate his effort in Week 13 against the Colts.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one catch on one target for seven yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Even with Treylon Burks (concussion) sidelined, Westbrook-Ikhine managed only one reception for the fourth consecutive game. He served as a big-play threat in the Titans' offense earlier in the season, though in his last two contests, he's combined to record just 16 yards.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one reception on four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Will Levis struggled to accurately deliver passes throughout the game, hurting the production of all Tennessee pass catchers. Westbrook-Ikhine was no different, as he was held to only one catch for the third consecutive contest. Overall, he's managed to top 30 receiving yards only three times in nine opportunities this season.

Limited to one catch
Westbrook-Ikhine converted his only target into a catch for 23 yards in Thursday's 20-16 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine found targets harder to come by given that the Titans had their full complement of receivers for most of the game. On the positive side, his one catch was the longest gain on a drive that ultimately ended in a rushing touchdown for Derrick Henry. Westbrook-Ikhine could return to a more prominent role if Treylon Burks is forced to miss time with a concussion

Tallies third touchdown
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one reception on two targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine played a relatively small role in the offense, as he logged a season-low 50 percent snap rate. However, he did manage to make the most of his lone reception by beating his defender to the corner of the end zone to tally his third touchdown of the season. Given the return of Treylon Burks (knee), Westbrook-Ikhine isn't likely to see his role bounce back, barring additional injuries.

Four targets in loss
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine filled his typical role in the offense, as he now has four or fewer targets in four of Tennessee's six games. He was also held in check from an efficiency perspective, as his longest gain of the day went for just 10 yards. Overall, Westbrook-Ikhine has 25 or fewer receiving yards in all but two contests on the campaign.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one catch (on three targets) for nine yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine has had sporadic involvement in the Tennessee offense this season, as he's topped five targets on two occasions but also had three or fewer looks three times. DeAndre Hopkins and Chigoziem Okonkwo dominated the receiving opportunities against the Colts, leaving Westbrook-Ikhine with a more limited role. Westbrrok-Ikhine will continue to be an unreliable contributor.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded five receptions on six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine wasn't targeted in Week 3, but he saw his involvement in the offense tick up in the absence of Treylon Burks (knee). His longest gain of the day came on a 22-yard catch late in the second quarter, which ultimately set up a touchdown for the Titans. Westbrook-Ikhine also found the end zone on his own from 13 yards away, the majority of which came after the catch.

Not targeted in blowout loss
Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was on the field for 80 percent of the team's snaps, so he maintained a significant role in the offense. However, he was most notably out-targeted by Chris Moore, who managed two receptions for 41 yards. Overall, Tennessee's limited passing offense will hold back any potential for Westbrook-Ikhine to produce consistently this season.

Records pivotal score
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine saw his opportunity fall as compared to Week 1, but he made one of the most important plays of the day for the Titans when he caught a four-yard touchdown pass with just over two minutes remaining in the game to give the team the lead. He also chipped in a 14-yard catch just before halftime to help set up a 33-yard field goal. Though Westbrook-Ikhine plays a key role in the Tennessee offense, his limited volume will hold back his potential fantasy value.

Seven targets to start season
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded four receptions on seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine played a key role in the Tennessee offense, finishing second among the receiving corps with 49 offensive snaps and seven targets. He tallied long receptions of 24 and 21 yards, though both of those gains came primarily after the catch. Treylon Burks will presumably emerge as the second pass catcher behind DeAndre Hopkins, though Westbrook-Ikhine enjoyed a fairly productive Week 1 performance.

Looking at increased opportunities
Westbrook-Ikhine has a chance for increased opportunities to begin the regular season with Kyle Phillips (knee) on IR, Nick Suss of the Nashville Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine will need to miss the first four games of the regular season and Treylon Burks, who did return to practice Thursday, could still potentially be limited by the time Week 1's opener against the Saints rolls around. At worst, Phillips' absence opens the door for Westbrook-Ikhine to start the year as Tennessee's No. 3 wideout, with further upside if Burks doesn't start at 100 percent. Chris Moore could also be in the mix for increased depth opportunities behind top wideout DeAndre…read more

Steps up with other receivers out
Westbrook-Ikhine, who scored a touchdown in Tuesday's scrimmage, could begin the season as Tennessee's No. 2 wide receiver while Treylon Burks and Kyle Philips recover from their respective knee injuries, Tom Brew of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Both injured receivers are still holding out hope that they'll play Week 1, but it's likely that at least one of Burks and Philips will begin the regular season on the sideline. While Westbrook-Ikhine is seemingly doing what he needs to do to put himself in position for plenty of snaps if either Burks of Philips is held out of th season opener, he's received ample playing time in previous seasons and has mediocre production to show for it. Despite logging 20 starts across the last two seasons,…read more

Quiet preseason
Westbrook-Ikhine failed to record a catch on his only target in Saturday's 24-16 preseason win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was on the field early in the game and got one deep target from Malik Willis, though that was his only opportunity. Across two preseason games, he has only one catch for eight yards. While Westbrook-Ikhine's roster spot is likely safe, his role is unclear after the offseason additions of DeAndre Hopkins, and to a lesser extent, Chris Moore.

Remaining in Tennessee
The Titans and Westbrook-Ikhine agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: A restricted free agent this offseason, Westbrook-Ikhine didn't receive a qualifying offer or a tender from Tennessee, but he'll return to the only organization that he's known as a pro. He's settled into a regular receiver role for the Titans over the last two seasons, racking up a 63-873-7 line on 107 targets in 33 games.

Not tendered an offer by Titans
The Titans didn't tender a contract to Westbrook-Ikhine on Tuesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Per Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com, Westbrook-Ikhine will test the open market after catching just 25 passes for 397 yards and three touchdowns last season. He played a career-high 75 percent of the offensive snaps in 2022 but is likely looking for a bigger role as a pass catcher after being asked to block quite a bit in the Titans' run-heavy scheme.

Comes up empty in finale
Westbrook-Ikhine failed to corral his lone target in Saturday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Despite playing at least 60 percent of the snaps on offense for the 16th time in his 17 appearances on the season, Westbrook-Ikhine once again failed to deliver a useful line for fantasy purposes. The run-heavy Tennessee offense wasn't especially conducive to any Titans pass catcher emerging as a reliable option, but Westbrook-Ikhine's production still notably lagged behind Robert Woods and Treylon Burks.

Tallies 23 yards in loss
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two catches on three targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 19-14 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine finished third on the team with three targets, an indication of Tennessee's preference to run its offense primarily on the ground. He did the majority of his damage on a 14-yard catch late in the third quarter, though it was his fourth consecutive game with under 25 receiving yards. The passing volume for all Titans receivers has been limited this season, and that is likely to only worsen with Malik Willis under center for the final two contests.

Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine had seen his involvement in the Tennessee offense steadily ticking up in recent weeks.

He managed a pair of splash plays against the Bengals, tallying gains of 25 and 20 yards.

Two catches against Packers
Westbrook-Ikhine tallied two catches on two targets for 28 yards in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine entered the game with inconsistent involvement in Tennessee's offense. The return of Treylon Burks pushed Westbrook-Ikhine only further down the depth chart. He's now seen two or fewer targets in four of his last five games and has topped 30 yards only once in the same span.

Shows off big-play ability
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded five receptions on eight targets for 119 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine entered Sunday's game having seen only 15 targets across eight games, so his eight targets were a significant surprise. He didn't waste the opportunity, tallying nine and 63-yard touchdowns -- the latter of which he ran uncovered down the left sideline. The Broncos were one of the few teams that have proven capable of slowing Derrick Henry, which led to increased opportunity for Tennessee's pass catchers, though that isn't likely to continue moving forward.

Minimally involved again
Westbrook-Ikhine did not record a catch on his only target in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine saw his lone target of the game on a deep pass early in the fourth quarter, but he was unable to haul it in. He's had a quiet season, posting only seven receptions for 138 yards in eight games. Things have only worsened with Malik Willis under center, as Westbrook-Ikhine has managed only one target combined between his last two matchups.

Not targeted against Texans
Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans.
Analysis: The Titans entered Sunday's game as a run-heavy offense, but they attempted only 10 passes with Malik Willis under center against the Texans. No receiver saw more than two targets, and Westbrook-Ikhine saw zero targets for the second time in his last three games. He now has only seven receptions for 138 yards in seven games on the season.

No catches against Colts
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded no catches on two targets in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was on the field for 75 percent of the team's offensive snaps, but Ryan Tannehill spread his 20 pass attempts between 10 different pass catchers. As a result, Westbrook-Ikhine was held without a catch for the second time this season, with both occasions coming in his last three games. Through six contests on the campaign, Westbrook-Ikhine has managed only seven receptions for 138 yards.

Makes 61-yard catch
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions on three targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine finished third on the team and second among wide receivers Sunday. He provided a needed offensive spark for the team with a 61-yard reception late in the third quarter that helped set up the game-winning touchdown. Despite that, Westbrook-Ikhine has yet to top three catches in a game this season and had only 66 total receiving yards prior to Sunday's effort.

Not targeted in win
Westbrook-Ikhine did not record any stats in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine tied for the second-most snaps amongst the Titans' wide receiver corps, but he failed to command any targets. That could change if Treylon Burks remains sidelined by turf toe, though Ryan Tannehill has regularly targeted his backs and tight ends in the short areas of the field to this point in the season. Furthermore, the Titans' offense will continue to run through Derrick Henry on the ground.

Makes most of three targets
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on three targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was on the field for the third-most snaps among the Titans' wide receiver corps, behind both Robert Woods and Treylon Burks. However, Westbrook-Ikhine finished with more targets, receptions and yards than Burks, highlighted by two catches of 15 yards to turn in his best performance of the season. Through three games, Westbrook-Ikhine has five receptions for 66 yards.

Inefficient on four targets
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded one catch on four targets for 13 yards in Monday's 41-7 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine finished tied for third on the team in targets but didn't have much to show for it. The Titans offense hasn't looked sharp overall in the first two weeks of the season, but Westbrook-Ikhine has only two catches for 26 yards and could be in danger of losing snaps and targets to rookies Kyle Philips and Treylon Burks.

Quiet in home opener
Westbrook-Ikhine caught one of two targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: On a day where quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 20 passes to nine different skill players, the 6-foot-2, 211-pounder failed to make much of an impact despite playing the second-most offensive snaps of all Tennessee WRs (68 percent). With the Titans' heavy emphasis on their rushing attack, Westbrook-Ikhine's ceiling may be limited throughout this season, while working in a wide receiver corps that also includes Robert Woods, Kyle Philips and Treylon Burks.

Westbrook-Ikhine is listed as a starter alongside Robert Woods on the Titans' unofficial posted depth chart, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Next up are rookies Treylon Burks and Kyle Philips, with the former, as a 2022 first-rounder, expected to see a key role in the Titans offense this coming season, a notion reflected in his average fantasy draft position, which is well ahead of Westbrook-Ikhine's. That said, it's possible that the team eases Burks into the mix out of the gate to some degree, in which case Westbrook-Ikhine could carve out some deep league utility.

One grab in preseason win
Westbrook-Ikhine brought in one of two targets for 21 yards in the Titans' 13-3 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine logged the first target of the game and made good use of it, recording his 21-yard gain in connection with rookie quarterback Malik Willis. The 25-year-old saw a nice boost in production in 2021 thanks to an increase in opportunities due to injuries in the Titans' receiving corps, and he figures to enjoy another solid role this coming season as the likely No. 3 wideout once Robert Woods (knee) and Treylon Burks (lower leg) are at full health.

Listed atop depth chart
Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill said Monday that he has a lot of confidence in Westbrook-Ikhine, who is listed as a starter on the team's initial preseason depth chart, AtoZ Sports Nashville reports.
Analysis: Tannehill specifically mentioned Westbrook-Ikhine's knowledge of the offense, which allows him to fill in at any position at a moment's notice. That's part of why the 2020 UDFA has managed to stick around on the Tennessee roster, going on three years now, along with some slick route running by the standards of a 6-foot-2, 215-pound receiver.

Prepared for bigger role
Westbrook-Ikhine believes he is prepared to step into a bigger role in the Titans' offense, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: The Titans' receiving corps was overhauled this offseason, as both A.J. Brown and Julio Jones are no longer on the roster. While the team acquired Robert Woods (knee) and drafted Treylon Burks, Westbrook-Ikhine should be in a position to improve upon the 38 receptions he posted in 2021. He should begin the season on the field regularly in three-receiver sets and could be in line to share snaps out of the slot with Woods.

Westbrook-Ikhine is currently positioned as the second receiver on Tennessee's depth chart after the team released Julio Jones on Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

He posted 38 receptions for 476 yards and four touchdowns across 16 games, highlighted by a 107-yard performance in Week 11 against Houston.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded four receptions on five targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine benefited from atypical passing volume as Ryan Tannehill took to the air 32 times. He made the most of his five targets, logging long receptions of 36 and 29 yards while also finding the end zone from four yards away to put the Titans up 21-0 just before halftime. Westbrook-Ikhine took a step forward in his second professional season, as he racked up 43 receptions for 554 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games.

On field, no production
Westbrook-Ikhine did not record a catch on two targets in Sunday's 34-3 win over Miami.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine led the Titans' wide receivers in snaps, though he was shutout from the stat sheet. In part, that was due to the Titans' heavy reliance on their rushing attack given game script, though even when Ryan Tannehill took to the air he often targeted A.J. Brown as well as his backs and tight ends. Westbrook-Ikhine has had a few productive games through 17 weeks of the season, but he has failed to find the end zone or top 40 receiving in each of his last four games.

The Titans activated Westbrook-Ikhine (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine landed on the virus list Monday but was quickly able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol. Julio Jones (illness) remains on the list, so Westbrook-Ikhine could serve as Tennessee's No. 2 wideout Sunday against the Dolphins if Jones remains out.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions on three targets for 38 yards in Thursday's 20-17 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine appeared to be in danger of slipping down the depth chart with both A.J. Brown and Julio Jones on the field. However, he finished second among the team's wide receivers in snap rate and was one of only four pass catchers to record multiple receptions. Despite a relatively strong role in the offense, Westbrook-Ikhine has failed to top 40 receiving yards in each of his last four games.

His longest gain of the game was a 12-yard catch -- the second-longest completion of the day for Tennessee. Looking ahead, Westbrook-Ikhine should maintain a role in the passing attack as Julio Jones aggravated the hamstring injury that has plagued him all season. A.J.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine lost some volume due to the return of Julio Jones, though he still finished second among the team's wide receivers in targets. Though he converted each for a catch, Westbrook-Ikhine largely worked in the short areas of the field, with his longest gain going for 15 yards. He may have the chance to produce in a Week 15 matchup at Pittsburgh, as the game is likely to be more competitive and A.J. Brown (chest) will also remain sidelined.

Scores in lopsided loss
Westbrook-Ikhine brought in two of five targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' 36-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine, along with Chester Rogers, was the most accomplished receiver on the field for the Titans on Sunday, and he was able to salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a one-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter. The second-year wideout should again be relied on heavily during a Week 14 matchup against the Jaguars following a Week 13 bye.

Steps into expanded role
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 107 yards in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans.

Westbrook-Ikhine did manage to contribute meaningfully to the win by hauling in a five-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter.

Analysis: The rookie UDFA out of Indiana was unable to earn a spot on the season-opening roster, but he'll join the active roster as an extra player for Week 1. Westbrook-Ikhine should provide depth at wide receiver and will revert to the practice squad after Monday's game.
