CeeDee Lamb vs Jayden Higgins: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between CeeDee Lamb and Jayden Higgins for your lineup, you are not alone. CeeDee Lamb finished the 2025 season at 11.7 PPG for the Dallas Cowboys (14 games), and Jayden Higgins averaged 6.4 for the Houston Texans (17 games).
That 5.3-point weekly advantage for CeeDee Lamb is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Target volume is the story here. CeeDee Lamb saw 117 targets in 2025, while Jayden Higgins drew 68. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for CeeDee Lamb, even in weeks where Jayden Higgins posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
CeeDee Lamb has his bye in Week 7, and Jayden Higgins rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
