Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Dameon Pierce

Tuesday, September 26, 12:45 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught 2-of-8 targets for 21 yards in Monday's 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The 24-year-old didn't make his first catch until the middle of the second quarter on a third-and-long checkdown, and he dropped a pass on the ensuing series. Higgins proceeded to push off on Ahkello Witherspoon to set back a drive following a Bengals takeaway that put them in great field position. He chipped in a 13-yard play on Cincinnati's only touchdown drive of the game but committed another drop in the third quarter, which stalled what amounted into a field-goal drive. Higgins had to make a brief exit with cramps to rub salt in the wound but returned at the start of the fourth. His uneven start to the year may have fantasy managers questioning their trust in him, but Higgins nonetheless belongs on the WR1/2 fringe in Week 4's cushy draw with the Tennessee Titans.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce picked up his first touchdown of the season in the team's 37-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3. Pierce saw more usage on offense this week, which helped him secure 17 touches in this one. He ran 14 times for 31 yards and one touchdown while also catching three passes for 28 yards. The second-year back got the Texans on the board early with a one-yard score in the first quarter. He will look to continue his touchdown streak next week at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
