Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Jahan Dotson

Thursday, March 6, 11:24 AM

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that multiple NFL teams have contacted the Cincinnati Bengals about the availability of wide receiver Tee Higgins after the Bengals placed the franchise tag on him on Monday, according to sources. Those teams have been told that Higgins remains unavailable as the Bengals work on giving him a long-term deal. Had the 26-year-old been allowed to reach the free-agent market next week, he would have been the top pass-catcher on the open market. But instead, it looks like the Bengals are going to keep him, at least for the 2025 season. If Cincy doesn't change their stance if contract talks break down, Chris Godwin would be the best free-agent wideout this offseason. Despite playing in only 12 regular-season games in 2024 due to injury, Higgins was the WR17 in half-PPR scoring with 73 receptions, 911 yards and 10 touchdowns. He'll be a strong WR2 if he stays in Cincy.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson stepped up in a big way during Sunday's 20-13 win over the New York Giants. Filling in as the primary receiver with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith resting for the playoffs, Dotson hauled in seven of his eight targets for 94 yards, leading the team in both receptions and receiving yards. Dotson showcased his ability to thrive when given an expanded role, proving he can be a reliable option in the passing game. As the Eagles gear up for the postseason, Dotson will return to his usual spot as the third receiving option but has shown that he can contribute effectively when called upon. Philadelphia will host the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round.
