Tee Higgins fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (2024). Should you start or sit Tee Higgins for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 With WR2 Upside
ANALYSIS: Tee Higgins, who has started the season sidelined due to a hamstring injury, plans to make his season debut in Week 3 on Monday Night against the Washington Commanders. Higgins also noted to reporters that he is feeling 100% healthy after practice on Friday.
This comes as great news to quarterback Joe Burrow and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals offense, who have been struggling so far without him. In fact, through the first two games of this season, they rank 17th in passing yards (200 per game) and 21st in points scored (17.5 per game).
In 2023, Higgins had an off-year and could only appear in 12 games due to hamstring and rib injuries. Before that, however, he was incredibly productive. In 2021 and 2022, he finished as the overall fantasy WR24 and WR18 (PPR) respectively.
HE’S LIKE THAT 🗣🗣🗣

Higgins has excellent chemistry with Burrow and will provide much-needed depth to a shallow receiving group that has been very dependent on Ja’Marr Chase this year. To hear that Higgins feels 100% healthy is great news for his fantasy managers, as they should find some way to start him in Week 3. He is the type of player who has the potential to just hit the ground running and make an impact right away.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]

He played 91 percent […]
