Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Zach Charbonnet

Friday, December 5, 1:06 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is a full-go for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Higgins suffered a concussion late in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was forced to sit out of the Thanksgiving night win over the Baltimore Ravens last Thursday. The 26-year-old will return this weekend in a crucial game on the road in Buffalo and will have quarterback Joe Burrow throwing him passes for the first time since Week 2. Ja'Marr Chase's presence and high target share are always worrisome for Higgins' fantasy managers, but Higgins still has a pretty high fantasy ceiling, especially now that Burrow is back running the offense. Even with Burrow out for most of the year, Higgins has been a top-30 fantasy wideout in half-PPR scoring.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet has been a touchdown machine this season. He has a great chance to score in Week 14 against an Atlanta Falcons defense that is No. 24 against opposing running backs in fantasy. The Seahawks should be able to move the ball on Sunday. When this team finds itself close to the end zone, there is a good chance that Charbonnet is going to receive the ball. Charbonnet's eight touchdowns in 2025 already match his career high from a season ago. When he scores, he delivers flex value for fantasy football. With the Falcons deploying a weaker defense against opposing running backs, Charbonnet may even find running room outside of the red zone. If Charbonnet can turn in a relatively efficient game and find the end zone, you will be happy in fantasy. As usual, Charbonnet is a risky play. However, his touchdown upside in Week 14 is high if you need a starter.
