Should I start Chase Brown, Tee Higgins in fantasy Week 7? Outlooks for Bengals' RB, WR vs. Steelers image

Whenever a team plays on Thursday Night Football, their fantasy football managers will immediately have to figure out what to do with the borderline starters from a given team.

That's true in Week 7 when the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on TNF.

The Bengals have an obvious start in Ja'Marr Chase, but in a new offense being directed by Joe Flacco, it's not a given that everyone else starts.

Tee Higgins and Chase Brown are probably the two biggest bubble guys out there.

Should I start Tee Higgins in fantasy Week 7?

It's safe to start Higgins in fantasy football in Week 7.

In the Bengals' first game with Flacco, they threw plenty. Higgins had eight targets and made five catches, and given the things he's battled with, it makes sense for the Bengals to just throw the ball to Higgins no matter where is.

If Higgins can stay involved on the field, he'll be a great addition to any starting lineup.

Should I start Chase Brown in fantasy Week 7?

Sure, Brown has been a major disappointment. But it's hard to imagine there are a bunch of good options sitting out there to replace him, so he's probably a Week 7 start.

In Flacco's first start, Brown ran nine times for 42 yards and had two catches for seven.

The Steelers have a stronger defense, but if Brown gets double-digit touches, he's still worth believing in.
