Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Tee Higgins

Thursday, November 21, 5:22 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he sat out of the first practice of the week while being under the weather. Ridley is already feeling better and should be just fine to play this weekend against the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday. The 29-year-old is Tennessee's unquestioned WR1 when healthy and he'll be looking to make a statement in the team's first meeting against the Texans in 2024. The matchup is a nice one, as the Texans defense is allowing the seventh-most half-PPR points per game (30.1) to receivers this season. Ridley should be treated as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex in Week 12. Most of his production in his first year in Tennessee has come more recently, including his 143-yard performance and his two-touchdown day on Nov. 10.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught nine of his 13 targets for 148 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. This was easily Higgins' best game of the year, bringing his season totals to 38 catches, 489 yards, and four touchdowns through six contests. Although the 25-year-old doesn't generate as much buzz as teammate Ja'Marr Chase, he's still a very intriguing fantasy option who has repeatedly shown that he can co-exist alongside Chase in Cincinnati's offense. Higgins will rank among the top 24 fantasy receivers when the Bengals return to action in Week 13.
