Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Justin Fields

Saturday, September 6, 11:40 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins spent all last season looking for a new contract. He also missed time due to injury. However, the wideout was productive when healthy and finished the year with 911 yards and 10 touchdowns off 73 catches (12 games). Equipped with a new four-year contract, Higgins should be ready to produce when the Bengals meet the Browns in Week 1. He scored in each of his two encounters with Cleveland during the 2024 campaign. With this expected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the week, Higgins has a chance of exceeding expectations for fantasy managers. He's a must-start on Sunday, although most know that already.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields came out ready to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. He got the fun started off early with a 33-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson in the first quarter. Fields was held in check until he rushed for a two-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He wasn't done yet as Fields rushed into the end zone one more time to give his team the lead late in the fourth quarter. He finished this game 16-of-22 on passing attempts for 218 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. He also rushed the ball 12 times for 48 yards and an additional two scores. It was an awesome first game for Fields, but we'll see if he can keep the good times rolling against the tough Buffalo Bills defense in Week 2.
