Who Should I Start? Derek Stingley Jr. or Daxton Hill

Wednesday, November 20, 10:00 PM

Houston Texans defensive back Derek Stingley Jr. (hip) logged a limited session in the team's first practice of the week. The former third-overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft has been battling a hip ailment for the last two weeks, though it didn't stop him from suiting up in Week 11's 34-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. In fact, Stingley Jr. began last week as a DNP before elevating his practice status over the ensuing two days and entering the weekend without a designation. Houston is likely giving the 23-year-old a bit of rest after he recorded two tackles and an interception -- his second of the season -- on his highest total snap count of the season (74). He's likely not in danger of missing the Texans' Week 12 tilt against the Tennessee Titans. Still, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his practice participation over the next two days.

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dax Hill (knee) is feared to have suffered a torn ACL in the Week 5 overtime loss to the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, according to sources, which would cause him to miss the rest of the 2024 season. It's a tough blow for the Bengals defense, as Hill had found his footing in a move from safety early this year. The 24-year-old had already recorded 25 tackles (20 solo), one sack and two pass breakups in the first five games of his third season in the NFL before suffering the devastating knee injury. Hill will now enter rehab mode after likely requiring season-ending surgery and hope to return even better in 2025. The former 31st overall pick in 2022 out of Michigan broke out to the tune of 110 combined tackles, 1.5 sacks, two interceptions and 11 pass breakups in 17 starts in his second year in 2023.
