ANALYSIS: Both A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) have been ruled out ahead of Week 4's content with the New York Jets, which thrusts the undrafted second-year player Nick Westbrook-Ikhine into a starting role. Westbrook-Ikhine didn't do much in the first two games as he received just a 32.3% snap share in Week 1 and a 17.1% snap share in Week 2, hauling in 2-of-3 targets for 16 receiving yards.
He shined in Week 3, however, with Brown and Jones ailing. He registered a 73% snap share and caught 4-of-4 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in what should serve as a glimpse of what his role will be this week. He should be the top receiving target in the offense as his only competition is the uninspiring group of Chester Rogers, Cameron Batson, and Josh Reynolds.
The Titans will continue to employ a run-heavy scheme with Derrick Henry, but they're projecting to score 25.25 points and at least some of the offensive production will come through the air. The Jets are currently allowing the 13th-most FPPG to opposing WR's and "NWI" is right in the mix for WR3/WR4 production and DFS value status this week.
