Who Should I Start? Roman Wilson or Jayden Higgins

Sunday, January 4, 7:28 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. With a playoff berth on the line, Wilson is a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old has played just nine snaps over the last four weeks, and he'll add another goose egg this week. He finishes the regular season with just 12 catches, 166 yards, and a pair of touchdowns. With Wilson inactive and DK Metcalf suspended, Pittsburgh will rely on a wide receiver room featuring Calvin Austin III, Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Ben Skowronek, and Scotty Miller.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins scored in back-to-back weeks to close out his rookie campaign. The 34th overall pick in the 2025 draft has had an impressive season, recording 41 catches (68 targets) for 525 yards and six touchdowns in 17 games. Higgins should continue to operate as Houston's WR2 heading into the Wild-Card round versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have allowed the seventh-most touchdowns and eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this year. While Higgins has seen his role increase as the season has progressed, the rookie is still tough to trust as anything more than a touchdown-dependent option heading into the playoffs, as he has recorded two catches or fewer in four straight games.
