DJ Moore vs Jayden Higgins: Who Should You Start?

Jayden Higgins (Houston Texans) came in at 6.4 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

DJ Moore carries a 2.1-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. DJ Moore turned 85 targets into 682 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Jayden Higgins converted 68 looks into 525 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: DJ Moore sits Week 12 while Jayden Higgins is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
