Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Keon Coleman

Saturday, October 4, 1:55 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy football through the early part of the 2025 season. He's managed just 10 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown on 20 targets, ranking 68th in target share (17.5%), 82nd in receiving yards, and 110th in receptions. Without Joe Burrow at quarterback, Higgins has struggled to command a consistent role in an offense that looks far less dynamic than it did in 2024. In Week 5, Higgins faces the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Detroit's defense has been steady, though they were exposed in Week 2 by Bears' WR Rome Odunze, who torched them for 100+ yards and two scores. Still, Higgins' involvement has been too shaky to trust. Given his lack of volume and inconsistent production, Higgins is a very risky play in Week 5.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said wide receiver Keon Coleman did not play in the team's first offensive series against the New England Patriots in Week 5 for disciplinary reasons. Per The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia, McDermott also said that the disciplinary action stemmed from an incident in practice, and that the Bills "expect more" from the second-year wideout. Coleman recorded four catches for 23 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 5. For the season, he's hauled in 21 catches for 226 yards and two scores on 29 targets. It doesn't seem as though this incident will impact Coleman's playing time going forward, but it's still not a good sign for the 22-year-old. He profiles as a fantasy WR3/flex option heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
