Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Tank Dell

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old is enjoying some newfound success after struggling to form a rapport with Jake Browning earlier in the year. He has looked much better in two games with Joe Flacco as his quarterback, totaling 11 catches, 158 yards, and one touchdown during that span. Flacco appears poised to remain the Bengals' quarterback for the duration of Joe Burrow's (toe) absence, which is great news for Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, and their fantasy managers. Higgins will continue to operate behind Chase in the pecking order, but he still has standalone value as a low-end WR2 for Week 8 against the Jets.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) has been steadily rehabbing from the gruesome injury he suffered late last season against the Chiefs, working his way back toward full strength. During Houston's Week 3 broadcast, analyst Ross Tucker mentioned that he saw Dell running sprints, which is an encouraging sign in his recovery process. The 25-year-old has been on the sideline during a recent Texans game, but there is still no clear sign of him returning anytime soon. For now, the Texans will continue to rely on Nico Collins, who left Monday night with a concussion, along with rookies Jaylin Noel, Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson at receiver.
