Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Tee Higgins

Wednesday, October 8, 2:17 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs made an enormous impression with his 10 catches and 146 yards on Sunday Night Football. The veteran receiver was able to get revenge on his old team, the Buffalo Bills, while turning in the best game yet with his new team. The 31-year-old has been everything the Patriots could have asked for (and more), making a variety of toe-drag plays and catches while being covered by a defender. He has 16 catches and 247 yards over his last two games, putting him firmly in the mid-range WR2 mix for Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy football through the early part of the 2025 season. He's managed just 10 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown on 20 targets, ranking 68th in target share (17.5%), 82nd in receiving yards, and 110th in receptions. Without Joe Burrow at quarterback, Higgins has struggled to command a consistent role in an offense that looks far less dynamic than it did in 2024. In Week 5, Higgins faces the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Detroit's defense has been steady, though they were exposed in Week 2 by Bears' WR Rome Odunze, who torched them for 100+ yards and two scores. Still, Higgins' involvement has been too shaky to trust. Given his lack of volume and inconsistent production, Higgins is a very risky play in Week 5.
