Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Chase Claypool

Tuesday, November 11, 7:54 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is coming off his best performance of the season. Higgins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Bengals are hopeful that the bye week hasn't cooled off Higgins. The 26-year-old has scored four touchdowns over his last three games. He'll head into a rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. A defense that he burned for 96 yards and a touchdown during their last meeting. Fantasy managers should expect another big performance out of Higgins this weekend.

Free-agent wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) is hoping to sign with an NFL team. The 2020 No. 49 overall pick was spectacular as a rookie, amassing 62 catches for 873 yards and 11 touchdowns. Since then, he hasn't been as productive. finding the end zone only six times. After stops in Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Miami, Claypool was in line to suit up for the Buffalo Bills heading into the 2024 campaign. Unfortunately, he tore a ligament and tendon in his toe before eventually being released by the team. With the injury behind Claypool, he is eager to get back on the field while claiming to be stronger and faster than ever. "I am back to being the strongest and fastest I've ever been and couldn't be more excited to step back out on the field and let my actions speak for themselves," said the 26-year-old. "I deeply and truly believe that the pieces will align, and I will work my way into the position to show off what's been suppressed these last two years." It appears he is more motivated than ever. Although Claypool should see attention from fantasy managers if he signs with a club, he could have a tough time getting close to the level of production he had in his inaugural year. Still, the wideout is worth monitoring in case he ends up inking a deal with a team where he'll have the opportunity to get involved.
