Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Jayden Higgins

Saturday, October 18, 2:03 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin is set to return in Week 7 against the Commanders after missing two games with a foot sprain. Turpin is set to return alongside star WR CeeDee Lamb, both coming back from multi-game absences. Before getting injured, Turpin was an impactful weapon for Dallas, catching 11 of 13 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown in four games. Turpin is expected to resume his WR3 duties behind Lamb and George Pickens against a Washington secondary that will allow plenty of yardage to opposing wideouts. In deeper leagues, he is a potential flex play for Week 7.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins had the best game of his young NFL career in his team's Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers, recording four catches for 34 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. The 22-year-old has now hauled in 13 catches for 155 yards and two scores on 21 targets. Before Week 8, Higgins had not earned more than four targets in any game this season. It's worth noting that veteran Texans wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) were both sidelined against San Francisco, which certainly factored into Higgins' breakout game. However, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has attempted 88 passes over the team's last two games, which could signal that there will be more opportunity for Higgins even when Collins and Stroud return. In deeper leagues where available, Higgins could be worth stashing for his second-half breakout potential.
