Who Should I Start? Bryce Young or Jayden Higgins

Friday, November 14, 11:49 PM

Bryce Young is not worth consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 11. The Carolina QB logged under five Fantasy Points Per Game and did not throw any passing touchdowns in Weeks 9 and 10. This season, Young has averaged 11.6 Fantasy Points Per Game and registered over 20 points only once. Fantasy players should not expect an adequate performance out of Young against the Atlanta Falcons. In Week 3 against Atlanta, Young finished with 121 passing yards, scored one rushing TD, and earned just 11.6 fantasy points. Leading up to Week 11, Atlanta ranks seventh in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs. The Falcons have a vulnerable run defense, allowing 26.59 Fantasy Points Per Game, which ranks 29th in the league to RBs this season. Expect Carolina to rely on their running game in Week 11 to stay competitive. Fantasy players should leave Young reserved for Week 11. He should only be considered in superflex leagues if your regular QB2 is out and there are no options available otherwise.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins is coming off a career-high five catches last week, when he played the second-most snaps on the team at receiver behind only Nico Collins. He hauled in five catches for 42 yards and his third touchdown of the season. The rookie seems to be settling in as the team's second receiver and is in a generally favorable matchup this week against the Titans. However, since the Texans are expected to rely on their running game and defense instead of their passing game with Davis Mills starting in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion), Higgins is only the WR55 in RotoBaller's rankings this week. He does have touchdown-dependent upside, but he is a high-risk start in most formats.
