Tee Higgins or Courtland Sutton Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for WRs

Tee Higgins and Courtland Sutton will try to help their respective teams get closer to a potential playoff berth with a win on Sunday when both squads face AFC South franchises. The Cincinnati Bengals (5-8) face off against the Tennessee Titans (3-10) at Nissan Stadium while the Denver Broncos (8-5) will go against the Indianapolis Colts (6-7) at Empower Field at Mile High.

Both receivers are amidst solid seasons on teams with high-flying offenses and are expected to take their game to the next level this weekend.

Fantasy managers deciding between these two players could have a hard time picking and with due reason.

Is Tee Higgins a good pick in Week 15?

Tee Higgins isn't coming off the best game of his season, catching only two passes on five targets for 23 receiving yards. He's going against a team that has allowed at least 18 fantasy points to wide receivers in four of their last five games, including 23, 23 and 28 points to the Minnesota Vikings, Houston Texans and Washington Commanders.

Ja'Marr Chase is considered the WR1 and the No. 2 player in the entire league ahead of Week 15, but Higgins closes the top 10, according to ESPN. He's projected to catch six passes for 71 receiving yards, a touchdown and 15.92 fantasy points.

Is Courtland Sutton a good pick in Week 15?

Courtland Sutton is posting another remarkable season with the Denver Broncos, finding a terrific partner in rookie quarterback Bo Nix. The Colts allow 19.0 fantasy points to wide receivers, including 31 against the Vikings, 17 against the Bills and 18 against the Lions, respectively.

Sutton ranks 12 spots lower than Higgins on the ESPN projections, projected to catch five passes for 65 receiving yards and 14.7 fantasy points. He's coming off a 102-yard performance and will try to emulate or surpass that production.
