Who Should I Start? Tucker Kraft or Jayden Higgins

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been productive over the last couple of weeks and put up his best target-earning game of the season against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Kraft will look to carry over this utilization in the Packers' Week 8 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Earning a career-high 10 targets, Kraft caught five of his 10 targets for 55 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinals last week. Thanks to some injuries to multiple receivers in this Packers' offense, including Dontayvion Wicks (calf), who has been ruled out for this Sunday night, Kraft and wide receiver Romeo Doubs have taken the bulk of the receiving work in the short term. For Week 8, Kraft is a top tight end option against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to the tight end position this season.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins had the best game of his rookie season just before the team's bye week, and he'll look to pick up where he left off as he returns to the field in Seattle on Monday night. He'll get a boost in Week 7 from Christian Kirk (hamstring) missing another contest, which could allow more targets to come his way. Higgins only had five catches in his first four games combined, but he had four catches on four targets for 32 yards in Week 5 against the Ravens. He played a season-high 56% of snaps in that blowout win, and could pick up Kirk's work this week as well. The No. 34 pick in last year's draft started the season with some fantasy buzz but hasn't been able to emerge as a weekly starting play in Houston's crowded receiver room. He has a very high ceiling but also has a very low floor since he has only one catch in three games this season. Weighing his risk and reward, he is a boom-or-bust longshot play at a flex spot this week, but he does have some intriguing upside as a rookie option down the road if he can build on his Week 5 success.
