Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Malik Nabers

Saturday, December 6, 4:03 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Fortunately, he was a full participant in the following two sessions and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills. The wideout had been on a roll heading into the Week 12 loss to the Patriots, catching at least one touchdown in his previous four appearances. However, after taking a hit during that contests, he didn't suit up for the Week 13 win over the Ravens. With Joe Burrow recently back on the field after missing over two months, Higgins will have one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League at his disposal. Hopefully, that will remain the case moving ahead. Although Higgins can be streaky, his ceiling may be a bit higher in Week 14, considering Sunday's contest is anticipated to feature plenty of scoring from both sides. Get the 2020 No. 33 overall pick back in the lineup in all fantasy formats.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had surgery on Tuesday to fix the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and he "should be ready" for the start of next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nabers suffered his season-ending knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he just now had surgery after doctors had to wait for the swelling in his knee to dissipate. Barring setbacks with his rehab and recovery in the offseason, the 22-year-old former first-rounder should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season next fall, although fantasy managers might have some reservations about rolling with a receiver coming off a major knee repair as a high-end WR1. Before his injury, though, Nabers had displayed his game-changing abilities with 271 yards and two scores on 18 receptions in four games. His long-term fantasy ceiling should be higher going forward now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal.
