Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Romeo Doubs

Thursday, January 30, 12:30 PM

The top priority for the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason is signing All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a long-term contract extension that is expected to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history. Despite that, director of player personnel Duke Tobin said the team needs to find the "right number" to re-sign impending free-agent wideout Tee Higgins as well. Most folks have assumed that Higgins will leave in free agency, and even Tobin admitted "it's going to be hard" for the Bengals to bring Higgins back. Plenty of teams are in need of a receiver of Higgins' caliber, so he's likely to receive plenty of lucrative offers that will exceed what the Bengals are able to offer. It will all depend on if the 26-year-old is willing to accept a "hometown" discount to stay with Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow. Leaving Cincy would give Higgins a higher fantasy ceiling, depending on where he ends up.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) officially suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the team's 22-10 loss to the hosting Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round on Sunday and never returned. Doubs fell hard on his head in the end zone after a potential touchdown pass was broken up by two defenders. It was Doubs' second concussion of the season, but the good news is he'll have all offseason to recover. In addition to Doubs, the Packers lost Christian Watson (knee) to a torn ACL in Week 18 and Jayden Reed to a dislocated shoulder on Sunday. The 24-year-old finished Sunday's game with only two catches for 13 yards on two targets. The third-year wideout finished the regular season fourth on the team with 601 receiving yards and four TDs on 72 receptions in 13 games played. Doubs will remain a big part of the offense in 2025, albeit in a crowded Green Bay receiver room.
