Who Should I Start? Tee Higgins or Zay Flowers

Monday, November 3, 3:30 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (head) cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins was shaken up on a play late in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, but he cleared the concussion protocol and should be just fine for a Week 11 divisional contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers after having the Week 10 bye to heal up. The 26-year-old had a massive game in Week 9, catching seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns, and he also secured a two-point conversion in the 47-42 loss to Chicago. His first touchdown of the day was a 44-yard bomb from quarterback Joe Flacco at the end of the first half, and his second score came from just two yards out in the third quarter. Despite Ja'Marr Chase soaking up a ton of targets, there's been enough to go around for Higgins, too. He has at least 62 receiving yards in three of his last four games and has four touchdowns in his last three games.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has already accrued 60 targets through eight games, which puts him on pace for the most in a single season through his three-year career. Unfortunately, he hasn't found the end zone since Week 1, but his heavy workload keeps him firmly in the WR2 conversation each week. In Week 10, he'll take on the Minnesota Vikings secondary, who are ranked as the eighth toughest matchup for opposing receiver groups. If you take the last three weeks into account, however, they've given up the second most fantasy points per game to receivers at 44.9 per game. Flowers should remain heavily involved, so he's projected as a high-end WR2 with a ceiling of low-end WR1.
