Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Tee Higgins

Wednesday, July 23, 9:04 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin was officially placed on the Reserve/Did Not Report list on Wednesday. McLaurin continues to hold out as he seeks a new contract with the Commanders. The 29-year-old has been disappointed with the way contract talks with Washington have progressed and has not reported to training camp. He hasn't missed a game since 2020 and caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns across 17 games last season. Scary Terry continues to weigh out his options for a new contract by holding out or requesting a trade. The Commanders highly value him and hope to get a new deal soon. Washington's star wideout's fantasy stock could continue to dip while the holdout continues. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation as McLaurin comes in as a high-end WR2 in upcoming fantasy drafts and is ranked WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins said that he changed his offseason regimen looking to prevent injuries while also focusing on both speed and strength. "Get my muscles right. Make sure I know what I'm doing muscles-wise," said Higgins, who returned to his usual offseason trainer in Miami. "I did a lot of everything. I was on the track a lot. I was in the weight room a lot weightlifting." Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson writes that the 26-year-old is looking as sleek as ever after missing five games in 2024 due to soft-tissue injuries. Despite missing five games last year, Higgins caught 73 passes (one shy of his career-high) for 911 receiving yards and a career-best 10 touchdowns in 12 games (nine starts). There will be even more expectations on Higgins to stay healthy after he signed a four-year, $115 million extension in March. Higgins has never played in a full season, but if he does, he should have a great shot at reaching 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in six seasons.
