Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Chris Olave

Monday, November 3, 3:30 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (head) cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins was shaken up on a play late in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, but he cleared the concussion protocol and should be just fine for a Week 11 divisional contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers after having the Week 10 bye to heal up. The 26-year-old had a massive game in Week 9, catching seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns, and he also secured a two-point conversion in the 47-42 loss to Chicago. His first touchdown of the day was a 44-yard bomb from quarterback Joe Flacco at the end of the first half, and his second score came from just two yards out in the third quarter. Despite Ja'Marr Chase soaking up a ton of targets, there's been enough to go around for Higgins, too. He has at least 62 receiving yards in three of his last four games and has four touchdowns in his last three games.

The Athletic's Diana Russini reports that the New Orleans Saints are expected to retain top wide receiver Chris Olave through the NFL's November 4 trade deadline. Olave has one more year on his current contract with New Orleans following 2025. The 25-year-old is having a solid season so far, recording 52 catches for 503 yards and three touchdowns on 83 targets. Olave has been one of the league's most consistent target-earners, recording double-digit targets in six out of eight games. Olave remaining in New Orleans might be the best thing for fantasy managers, as his target volume would almost certainly go down if he were moved to a contender. He profiles as a fantasy WR2 heading into the Saints' Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
