Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Garrett Wilson

After signing wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a record four-year, $161 million deal with $112 million guaranteed on Sunday night, the Cincinnati Bengals then turned around and signed receiver Tee Higgins to a four-year, $115 million deal to make him the highest-paid No. 2 wideout in NFL history, according to FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The first two years of Higgins' new deal are guaranteed. Cincy put the franchise tag on Higgins for the second straight year, but it only served as a placeholder before they locked the 26-year-old up long term. Although the former second-rounder (33rd overall) in 2020 out of Clemson only played in 12 games (nine starts) in 2024 due to injuries, he excelled when on the field and finished with a 73-911-10 line. His 10 scores were a new career-high. Although Chase takes valuable targets away from Higgins, he still has two 1,000-yard seasons and two 900-yard seasons, making him a strong WR2 target in fantasy.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is expected to see a larger workload next season. Head coach Aaron Glenn recently said during a press conference that they want to get Wilson the ball as much as possible. He didn't really add on much to that statement, but it shouldn't be surprising that the Jets want to get their best wideout the ball as often as possible. Despite some lackluster play at quarterback last season, Wilson finished with 101 receptions, 1,104 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in 17 games. The Jets are hopeful that Justin Fields can give them a better performance under center this upcoming season. Wilson might creep his way into the WR1 discussion, but for now is a safe WR2 in fantasy formats.
