Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Tee Higgins

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen should be kept out of starting lineups when his team takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Ireland. Now that receiver Jordan Addison (suspension) is back in the fold, Thielen is likely to see a significant decrease in snaps. Even with high snap rates in the first three weeks, Thielen caught a meager two passes. At this point, it's fair to wonder if he'll earn more snaps or targets than fellow receiver Jalen Nailor, to say nothing of Addison, top receiver Justin Jefferson, and tight end T.J. Hockenson. Given his lack of production and his situation on the depth chart, Thielen can be sent to waiver wires in standard redraft leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was relatively quiet to begin the 2025 campaign. Although he found the end zone in Week 2 against the Jaguars, he had only seven catches through the first three weeks. Since then, it's been a different story, with Higgins scoring at least once in four of his last five appearances. He's also seen an uptick in volume, combining for 14 receptions (21 targets) for 323 yards in the Bengals' previous three contests. It appears Joe Flacco (shoulder) will continue looking in his direction, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats for the potential high-scoring encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
