Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Tee Higgins

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught all six of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. In a dreadful outing for the Commanders, McLaurin acted as Sam Howell's security blanket. While leading Washington wideouts with six targets, he appeared to be the only one with at least some actual success. The final score leaves much to be desired for Washington, but there appears to be a solid connection building between their second-year quarterback and their veteran receiver. Hopefully, McLaurin can build upon this outing in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught 2-of-8 targets for 21 yards in Monday's 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The 24-year-old didn't make his first catch until the middle of the second quarter on a third-and-long checkdown, and he dropped a pass on the ensuing series. Higgins proceeded to push off on Ahkello Witherspoon to set back a drive following a Bengals takeaway that put them in great field position. He chipped in a 13-yard play on Cincinnati's only touchdown drive of the game but committed another drop in the third quarter, which stalled what amounted into a field-goal drive. Higgins had to make a brief exit with cramps to rub salt in the wound but returned at the start of the fourth. His uneven start to the year may have fantasy managers questioning their trust in him, but Higgins nonetheless belongs on the WR1/2 fringe in Week 4's cushy draw with the Tennessee Titans.
