Should You Start or Sit Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in Week 13?
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine saw five targets against the Texans, and the rules of 2024 state that he has to score when that is the case.
I kid. Sort of. He is literally scoring once every five targets this season and has found paydirt in six of the seven games this season in which he’s seen a target. Of course, this rate is unsustainable and I’m happy to keep fading a secondary weapon in a Will Levis-led offense.
I don’t believe in momentum. I look to make sense of everything in my life, not just fantasy football. I can’t explain what is going on with Westbrook-Ikhine and I tend to avoid what I can’t understand. If you want to chase good vibes, go for it. I won’t be joining you (one game with more than three catches this season).

PFN Insight on the Jaguars' Defense
The Jaguars' defense performed relatively well in Week 13 compared to the rest of the year, yet still didn't rank inside the top 15. They did a good job limiting the Texans in the red zone and on third downs, but Jacksonville struggled to get pressure and ultimately did not produce a turnover for the second week running.
Last year, the firing of Mike Caldwell was viewed as a sacrificial lamb for Doug Pederson, and the defense has gotten considerably worse. It seems highly unlikely Pederson and Ryan Nielsen can make a case that things will only get better in Year 2 of their partnership.
The one positive aspect of Jacksonville's defense is that its run defense is league-average (0.07 EPA per rush). However, after all the capital spent on its pass rush, this team's bottom-five ranking in getting pressure without blitzing (27.2%; 27th) might be a firable offense all on its own.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans Trends
Jacksonville Jaguars
Team: A 14-loss season remains a possibility for the Jaguars, and it would be their third in the past five seasons (the rest of the NFL has three to date over that stretch, with the Panthers, Bears, and Jets all having one apiece).
QB: Mac Jones has completed 86.8% of his passes, throwing less than 10 yards downfield (otherwise:11-of-39, 28.2%)
Offense: The Jags settled for two red zone field goals last week, matching their total from the previous five games.
Defense: On a yards-per-drive standpoint, the Jaguars offered up their second-best effort of the season against the Texans last week (29.3 yards).
Fantasy: Brian Thomas Jr. saw his targets total 215 air yards on Sunday against the Texans, his first triple-digit performance since Week 5 (vs. Colts).
Betting: The Jaguars are 11-6 ATS in their past 17 road games.
Tennessee Titans
Team: Three straight double-digit loss seasons is more likely than not to occur for the Titans, something this franchise hasn’t done since the Oilers did in in four straight from 1983-86.
QB: Will Levis has posted at least an 84.5 passer rating in four straight games (he had one such performance this season prior).
Offense: The Titans averaged just 21.9 yards per drive last week, their lowest mark since Week 6 (vs. Colts).
Defense: Tennessee allowed Washington to convert nine of 14 third downs on Sunday (in their two games prior, the Titans allowed eight third down conversions on 27 attempts).
Fantasy: We are into December, and 73.1% of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine’s PPR fantasy points this season have come via touchdowns.
Betting: The Titans have failed to cover five straight home games.
