Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Brian Thomas Jr.

Friday, October 17, 12:54 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old is enjoying some newfound success after struggling to form a rapport with Jake Browning earlier in the year. He has looked much better in two games with Joe Flacco as his quarterback, totaling 11 catches, 158 yards, and one touchdown during that span. Flacco appears poised to remain the Bengals' quarterback for the duration of Joe Burrow's (toe) absence, which is great news for Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, and their fantasy managers. Higgins will continue to operate behind Chase in the pecking order, but he still has standalone value as a low-end WR2 for Week 8 against the Jets.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was unable to find much success during Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Thomas was coming off a solid game in Week 6, but wasn't able to carry that momentum with him to London. He hauled in three of his seven targets for 31 yards in the blowout loss. Thomas finished third on the team in targets and really wasn't a factor in the passing game despite the Jags getting blown out. The Jags have a bye next week, so Thomas will look to bounce back against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8.
