Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Kaleb Johnson

Tuesday, November 11, 7:54 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is coming off his best performance of the season. Higgins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Bengals are hopeful that the bye week hasn't cooled off Higgins. The 26-year-old has scored four touchdowns over his last three games. He'll head into a rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. A defense that he burned for 96 yards and a touchdown during their last meeting. Fantasy managers should expect another big performance out of Higgins this weekend.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson was going as a late-round flier with upside in fantasy drafts this fall, but he was quickly sent to the waiver wire. The 22-year-old third-rounder out of Iowa has been a distant third on Pittsburgh's RB depth chart behind Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell this year, and he didn't help himself with a costly special-teams blunder early in the season. So far through his first five NFL games, Johnson has handled only 15 rushing attempts for 40 yards (2.7 yards per carry) while catching one of his two targets for nine yards. He played five offensive snaps in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts, which was actually an improvement after not playing at all the previous two games. It will take an injury to Warren or Gainwell for Johnson to get more involved, which means he's only stash-worthy in fantasy football in dynasty/keeper leagues.
