Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Ja'Marr Chase

Thursday, August 21, 3:18 PM

Trainers were looking at Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins' left ankle during training camp practice on Thursday, according to Jeremy Rauch. Higgins got his leg tangled up during a play and was seen hobbling off the field. Higgins and the rest of Cincy's starters were already scheduled to be held out of the preseason finale on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old has a history of dealing with nagging injuries, so this isn't what fantasy managers want to see right before the start of the 2025 regular season. While it doesn't sound like Higgins' injury is serious, it's something to watch for heading into Week 1 of the regular season. Higgins only played in 12 games for the second straight year due to injuries in 2024, but he still managed 73 catches, 911 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns in Cincy's high-octane offense. He's on the WR1/2 borderline in fantasy.

Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase hauled in one reception for 11 yards in the 31-17 win against the Washington Commanders. Chase caught a quick pass from quarterback Joe Burrow and drew a 25-yard pass-interference penalty that set up running back Chase Brown for a one-yard touchdown run. The 2024 "Triple Crown Winner" has now caught five passes for 88 yards and a touchdown, as well as scoring a touchdown that got called back due to a holding penalty. Chase enters the 2025 season as the consensus No. 1 overall pick in fantasy drafts, and if this preseason is any indication, he should be in line for another monstrous season.
