Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or De'Von Achane

Monday, August 18, 11:34 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was again held without a reception in the 31-17 win against the Washington Commanders. Higgins has had only one target in the first two preseason games, while his running-mate Ja'Marr Chasehas racked up five targets in both games. Higgins is currently being drafted as the WR12 on the current RotoBaller half-PPR rankings and is the only projected WR2 on his respective team to be ranked inside the top 20 of wide receivers. Higgins' last opportunity to see the field is next week when the Bengals host the Indianapolis Colts.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) is not expected to practice this week as he recovers from a minor calf issue. Head coach Mike McDaniel emphasized the move is precautionary, given Achane's speed and explosiveness. The 22-year-old breakout star is coming off a strong 2024 campaign, racking up 1,499 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns on 281 touches. While the Dolphins' offense struggled last season, ranking 18th in total yards, Achane remains a key piece with elite upside when healthy. Fantasy managers should monitor his status, but for now, he's fully expected to be ready for Week 1.
