Who Should I Start? Elic Ayomanor or Jayden Higgins

Friday, November 21, 2:57 PM

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 12 matchup with the Seahawks. In a season that has produced little offensive firepower, Ayomanor leads the Titans in targets (59), receiving yards (334), and receiving touchdowns (2). His 28 receptions through ten games trail only tight end Chig Okonkwo (32). With veteran Calvin Ridley (leg) placed on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday, Okonkwo and fellow rookie Chimere Dike figure to be the focal points of the Titans' passing offense. While the Seahawks' defense has been smothering for most of the year, the one spot they have shown susceptibility to is the tight end position, making Okonkwo the only Titan worthy of fantasy consideration this week.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins caught four of his nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills. The rookie led the team in targets and had more catches than Nico Collins, contributing to the Texans' third straight victory under backup quarterback Davis Mills. Higgins has looked solid with Mills under center, catching 13 of 23 targets for 135 yards and two touchdowns during that three-week span. He, Collins, and Christian Kirk have all carved out fantasy-relevant roles lately, but it remains to be seen whether the distribution of targets will look any different when C.J. Stroud (concussion) returns to action next week. Higgins' streak of strong performances should keep him in the high-end WR3/flex tier for Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts.
