Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Tee Higgins

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) can't seem to shake his groin injury and put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Sanders was on last week's injury report with a pectoral injury, but he missed time in training camp in August with a groin injury. Regardless, the injury isn't very serious and shouldn't keep him off the field this Sunday in a Week 4 meeting with the winless Minnesota Vikings and their terrible defense. The 26-year-old had a season-low nine carries for just 24 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he salvaged his fantasy day with rushing and receiving scores. With rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) on track to return from an ankle sprain, Carolina should lean more on their ground game this weekend, which is good news for Sanders.

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.
