Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Tee Higgins

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen enters Week 6 as a clear high-floor option, leading the team with five catches on nine targets last week. The veteran faces a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins' secondary, which has allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers, a key area for Allen given his 23.1% target share. Allen is a high-volume receiver who often helps Justin Herbert by making difficult catches in crucial situations. If fellow wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is limited or inactive, Allen's already high target share should only grow. RotoBaller ranks Allen as WR20 this week. He is a reliable low-end WR2 and should be started with confidence, especially in PPR formats.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins enters Week 7 looking to bounce back after a disappointing start to the 2025 season. Through six games, Higgins has managed 18 receptions for 220 yards and two touchdowns, a sharp decline from his breakout 2024 campaign. The Joe Burrow injury has taken a toll on the entire Bengals offense, but none more than Higgins, who has struggled to find consistent production without Burrow. However, there were signs of life in Week 6 with Joe Flacco under center, as Higgins recorded his season highs in receptions and receiving yards, potentially hinting at better days ahead. The Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is a favorable one, as they've allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers and have given up 15+ PPR points to Garrett Wilson, Justin Jefferson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba this season. Even with the improved quarterback play and friendly matchup, Higgins remains a risky WR3 in Week 7.
