Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jayden Higgins

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) is out of Wednesday's training camp practice after injuring his ankle on Tuesday, according to Chiefs beat writer Matt McMullen. In addition to Brown, receivers Xavier Worthy (concussion) and Skyy Moore (hamstring) are out after they also were hurt in Tuesday's practice. The good news for the Chiefs receiver room is that none of their injuries appear very serious, so hopefully they will be back sooner than later. Brown suffered a shoulder injury in camp last year that ended up limiting him to just two regular-season games in his first year in KC. The 28-year-old was able to play in three playoff games, too, but he didn't really stand out. When both Rashee Rice and Worthy are healthy, Brown will probably operate as the WR3. He has missed 23 games due to injuries in the last three seasons.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins was selected with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after an outstanding collegiate season at Iowa State. As a senior, he tallied 87 receptions for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns despite sharing the field with Texans third-round pick Jaylin Noel. Texans reporter Mike Jones of The Athletic believes Higgins could be the team's breakout player in 2025. "The 6-foot-4, 214-pound receiver out of Iowa State brings size, athleticism, and speed," Jones said. "Lining up along with Nico Collins and new veteran addition Christian Kirk, Higgins should receive plenty of opportunities to help the Texans. He can win 50-50 balls, gets good separation, and should make a name for himself in Houston this season." While competing for targets with Collins is not ideal, Stroud has shown the ability to support multiple fantasy-relevant pass-catchers in the past, and the Jaguars being willing to send Kirk to a division rival for pennies on the dollar isn't exactly a screaming endorsement for Kirk. At Higgins' WR50-55 price tag in preseason drafts, he presents intriguing upside, especially since Kirk and Collins have missed a combined 21 games over the last two seasons.
