Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Caleb Williams

Saturday, September 6, 11:40 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins spent all last season looking for a new contract. He also missed time due to injury. However, the wideout was productive when healthy and finished the year with 911 yards and 10 touchdowns off 73 catches (12 games). Equipped with a new four-year contract, Higgins should be ready to produce when the Bengals meet the Browns in Week 1. He scored in each of his two encounters with Cleveland during the 2024 campaign. With this expected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the week, Higgins has a chance of exceeding expectations for fantasy managers. He's a must-start on Sunday, although most know that already.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 21 of 35 passes for 210 yards with one touchdown in a 27-24 loss against the Vikings. He also rushed for 58 yards on six carries with a touchdown. It was a smooth start for Williams and the new Bears offense under head coach Ben Johnson as they marched down the field for a touchdown on their opening drive. However, their offense scored only three points over their next nine drives. The run game with D'Andre Swift was largely inefficient, and Williams mostly took what the defense gave him. Williams found Rome Odunze for a touchdown right late in the fourth quarter to close the lead to three, but it was not enough. On a positive note, Williams looked very smooth and fast as a runner tonight, which is a key part of his fantasy appeal. It was a decent season debut for Williams as he builds his understanding of Johnson's offense, and he should be viewed as a low-end QB1 for fantasy purposes with his dual-threat ability.
