Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Christian Watson

Saturday, September 13, 11:21 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught three of his four targets for 33 yards in the win over the Cleveland Browns. The wideout has been known to have some off weeks throughout his career. However, he wasn't the only one who struggled, with Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards. Teammate, Ja'Marr Chase, didn't play much better, with the former LSU Tiger amassing only two grabs. All things considered, the Bengals likely did some work during the week leading up to Sunday's clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, meaning there is a good chance the offense turns it around. While that doesn't mean Higgins will see the most attention from Burrow in Week 2, there's still reason to believe he'll perform at a higher level, considering Sunday's contest may be the highest-scoring game on the schedule.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) said he anticipates returning to practice when his window opens up, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Watson will be on the Physically Unable to Perform list through Week 4 after tearing his right ACL in the Week 18 regular-season finale last year. With Green Bay's bye coming in Week 5, he may be ready to make his 2025 debut in Week 6, when the team hosts the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field. The 26-year-old probably won't be ready by Week 6, but reports this summer suggested he was making excellent progress in his recovery. Fellow wideout Jayden Reed (collarbone) is currently out six to eight weeks, so Watson could have a substantial role in the passing attack sooner than later when he returns. Mostly a deep threat, fantasy managers should consider stashing him in an IR spot if he's available on the waiver wire.
