Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Michael Wilson

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.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson is off to a quiet start to the 2025 season, recording just six catches for 36 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets through his first four games. He saw a season-high six targets in Week 4, but Arizona wide receiver Zay Jones (concussion) is slated to return in Week 5 after missing Week 4 and could eat into Wilson's target share. Wilson and the Cardinals are favored by more than a touchdown in their Week 5 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, which could lead to a run-heavy game script. Wilson should remain off of fantasy radars this Sunday.
