Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Cedric Tillman

Monday, December 8, 3:26 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) experienced concussion-like symptoms on Sunday night and Monday morning and is back in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was held out of the Thanksgiving night win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. The 26-year-old returned on Sunday in the loss to the Buffalo Bills and enjoyed having quarterback Joe Burrow back, as he caught six of a season-high 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 39-34 loss. Higgins had a big game, but he slammed his head on the snowy turf late in the contest and is now in danger of missing the Week 15 divisional rematch with the Ravens. If Higgins misses another game, Andrei Iosivas will be back on the flex map for the start of the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues. Iosivas had just one catch on Thanksgiving with Higgins out, but it was a 29-yard touchdown reception.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman hasn't been a big fantasy contributor since returning in Week 10 against the New York Jets after missing four games due to a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old has recorded six receptions for 68 yards on 12 targets over the past four games, while posting the third-highest route share (63.8%) for the Browns, trailing only Jerry Jeudy and rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Tillman is tough to trust for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, with the current state of the Browns' offense. The Titans have allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers, but Tillman is only an option in deeper leagues in Week 14.
