Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Jayden Higgins

Monday, October 13, 10:10 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle posted another solid game in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Miami's second full game since losing wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) for the season. Waddle led the Dolphins with eight targets and hauled in six catches for 95 yards. The 26-year-old has now recorded 29 catches for 390 yards and three touchdowns on 40 targets through six games this season. In the two games without Hill, Waddle has been much better, recording 12 catches for 205 yards and a score on 17 targets. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver, although Waddle and the Dolphins will have a tough matchup in Week 7 when they travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns.

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.
