Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Tee Higgins

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams was targeted a team-high 11 times on Thursday, ultimately catching five passes for 88 yards in his team's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He has played relatively well this season, but his productivity has been overshadowed by Puka Nacua, who currently ranks as the overall WR1 in fantasy football. An 88-yard outing is nothing to scoff at, but managers were likely hoping for Adams to add a few more catches or a touchdown. His 22 catches on 46 targets this year are not Matthew Stafford's fault, but still concerning nonetheless. Managers should look for the duo to bounce back against the Ravens next week, with Adams ranking as a mid-to-low WR2.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy football through the early part of the 2025 season. He's managed just 10 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown on 20 targets, ranking 68th in target share (17.5%), 82nd in receiving yards, and 110th in receptions. Without Joe Burrow at quarterback, Higgins has struggled to command a consistent role in an offense that looks far less dynamic than it did in 2024. In Week 5, Higgins faces the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Detroit's defense has been steady, though they were exposed in Week 2 by Bears' WR Rome Odunze, who torched them for 100+ yards and two scores. Still, Higgins' involvement has been too shaky to trust. Given his lack of volume and inconsistent production, Higgins is a very risky play in Week 5.
