Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Isiah Pacheco

Thursday, December 4, 4:49 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) logged a full practice on Thursday after being limited in practice on Wednesday, per Jay Morrison of Sports Illustrated. The 26-year-old suffered a concussion towards the end of Cincinnati's Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots that led to him being sidelined for the team's Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. While Higgins will still need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol, it appears he could be trending towards returning to the field for the Bengals' Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Across 11 games this season, Higgins has recorded 40 catches for 575 yards and seven touchdowns on 70 targets. If he's able to return in Week 14, Higgins will share the field with Bengals QB1 Joe Burrow for the first time since Week 2. As long as he's active, Higgins profiles as a must-start wide receiver on Sunday against Buffalo.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Thanksgiving's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Pacheco has missed three straight games since suffering an MCL sprain during Kansas City's Week 8 win over the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old logged three full practices this week, and it will be interesting to see how the running back touches will be distributed in his return on Thursday. Kareem Hunt has handled a big workload in Pacheco's absence, and just recorded a career high 30 carries in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Rookie Brashard Smith has held a small role, mostly on designed touches. Pacheco was the Chiefs' leading rusher before getting injured, but he will likely be eased back into action and split touches with Hunt. He is ranked as RotoBaller's RB41 in PPR leagues for Thanksgiving's game against the Cowboys.
