Who Should I Start? Ja'Marr Chase or Garrett Wilson

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is having a down year compared to last. However, he still ranks among the top wideouts in the National Football League, which isn't much of surprise to anyone. The former LSU Tiger is coming off a rough showing in the Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills, catching only five passes (eight targets) for 44 yards. Instead, it was Tee Higgins (concussion) who led the way on the receiving end, finding the end zone twice. Unfortunately, Higgins won't play in Sunday's meeting with the Ravens, just like when these clubs met in Week 13. Chase was certainly more productive in that one, ending with seven grabs for 110 yards. More importantly, he was targeted 14 times. While Chase is always a must-start, his ceiling is much higher without Higgins in the mix in Week 15.

The New York Jets have yet to open the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Head coach Aaron Glenn reiterated that the team still has to consult with doctors on Wilson's status. Wilson remains on Injured Reserve after aggravating a knee injury back in Week 10. At this point, with only four games remaining in the 2025 season, it's fair to wonder if the 25-year-old pass-catcher will be allowed to come back with the Jets out of playoff contention. With Wilson almost certain to be ruled out for Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, receivers John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell will continue to operate as the top two receivers, but they might be taking passes from undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook this week with both Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) nursing injuries.
