Who Should I Start? Tetairoa McMillan or Jayden Higgins

Friday, November 14, 11:53 PM

Tetairoa McMillan posted just adequate numbers but was Carolina's top wide receiver again in Week 10 against the Saints. The rookie WR totaled 11 Fantasy PPR Points with 60 yards on five receptions. Week 10 was the third time in the last five weeks that McMillan posted double-digit PPR points totals. Carolina's opponent for Week 11 is the Atlanta Falcons, who rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs this season. Atlanta has a run-funnel defense that allows 26.53 points to RBs this season, which ranks 29th in the league. Look for Carolina to rely more on their ground game this week. Despite Carolina's run-heavy approach, McMillan provides enough of a respectable statistical floor to be a starter in fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins turned in the best performance of his young career in Week 10, catching five of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 2025 second-round pick has struggled to carve out a consistent role in Houston's offense, often seeing limited snaps behind the team's other outside receivers. However, for just the second time this season, Higgins outsnapped Xavier Hutchinson, who has played 66% of the team's offensive snaps overall. If Higgins continues to earn more playing time, he could emerge as the Texans' WR2 and a sneaky fantasy contributor down the stretch. He'll look to build on his momentum in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans.
