Who Should I Start? Dillon Gabriel or Jayden Higgins

Tuesday, October 14, 7:02 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 29 of his 52 pass attempts for 221 yards and no touchdowns in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Gabriel struggled to get much going against a struggling Pittsburgh defense, leading his team to just three field goals while averaging just 4.3 passing yards per attempt in his second career start. The rookie signal caller has now thrown for 430 yards and three touchdowns while completing 57.3% of his passes thus far. Gabriel will now look to bounce back against a Miami Dolphins defense that is allowing 29 points per game, fourth-most in the NFL. That being said, Gabriel will be tough to trust as anything more than a high-end QB3 in Week 7.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins only had one catch in Week 4 against the Titans, but he made the most of it, hauling in a 26-yard touchdown strike from C.J. Stroud. He only played 31 snaps compared to Xavier Hutchinson's 48 snaps, but he was the more productive option, even though he only had one target. The No. 34 overall pick in the NFL Draft is still battling for playing time and not making a significant enough impact to be a fantasy option just yet. However, he does have the potential for big plays like he showed last week and could work his way into a larger role as the season progresses. For now, he's not a strong starting option, though, since he's only the No. 67 WR in RotoBaller's Week 5 rankings.
