Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Jaylen Waddle

Thursday, December 26, 4:50 PM

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Broncos. Higgins remained a limited participant throughout the week but was unable to avoid an injury designation. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Saturday's tilt. Over the past three weeks, Higgins has found the end zone three times and averaged a strong 15.4 PPR points per game. He has seen 8.5 targets per game during this span and tallied 59.5 yards per contest. Despite battling numerous injuries throughout the season, Higgins has scored an impressive seven touchdowns across ten games. Fantasy managers should start him in all formats if he can play despite facing a tough Denver secondary that has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) is practicing on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with a knee injury. The three-time 1,000-yard receiver missed last week's contest against the San Francisco 49ers, but his return to the practice field could mean he's trending toward facing the Cleveland Browns in Week 17. Waddle is having the least productive season of his young career, catching 54 passes for 700 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games. However, he always has spike-week upside, especially in favorable matchups. The Browns have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, so consider Waddle a boom-or-bust flex consideration if he plays on Sunday.
