Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Tee Higgins

Monday, September 25, 10:30 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been a focal point of this offense early in the season. That remained the case during Monday's matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran wideout hauled in five of his 10 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Bucs attempted to get Evans involved early on, but he wasn't able to haul in his touchdown until the score was out of reach. Evans should remain an important piece of this offense going forward. He should be considered a WR2 for their matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught 2-of-8 targets for 21 yards in Monday's 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The 24-year-old didn't make his first catch until the middle of the second quarter on a third-and-long checkdown, and he dropped a pass on the ensuing series. Higgins proceeded to push off on Ahkello Witherspoon to set back a drive following a Bengals takeaway that put them in great field position. He chipped in a 13-yard play on Cincinnati's only touchdown drive of the game but committed another drop in the third quarter, which stalled what amounted into a field-goal drive. Higgins had to make a brief exit with cramps to rub salt in the wound but returned at the start of the fourth. His uneven start to the year may have fantasy managers questioning their trust in him, but Higgins nonetheless belongs on the WR1/2 fringe in Week 4's cushy draw with the Tennessee Titans.
