Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Ja'Marr Chase

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) was officially placed on injured reserve on Tuesday. It was announced earlier in the day that Diggs had torn his ACL in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Moving Diggs to IR gives the Texans the roster space to potentially add another wide receiver for depth. The Texans will still be without standout wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) until Week 10. This opens up a huge void of targets and opportunities for second-year wide receiver Tank Dell. Dell was excellent in 2023 when he was the only show in town. The Texans will need him to step up in a big way in the coming weeks while they wait for Collins to ramp back up. The Texans will likely also spread to ball around to wide receivers Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, and John Metchie III, along with tight end Dalton Schultz.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had six grabs for 86 yards in Sunday's six-point loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals weren't able to pick up the much-needed win in Week 13. Still, Chase can't take any of the blame, with the wideout making his thirteenth trip to the end zone. With Cincinnati unlikely to make the playoffs, there may be a point where it wouldn't make sense for Chase to be on the field. However, he's still a must-start for the Week 14 meeting against a shoddy Cowboys defense.
