DJ Moore vs Tee Higgins: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between DJ Moore and Tee Higgins is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Buffalo Bills wide receiver put up 8.5 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals averaged 12.1 in 15. A 3.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.6 points favors Tee Higgins, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. DJ Moore turned 85 targets into 682 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Tee Higgins converted 98 looks into 846 yards and 11 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Both share a Week 12 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
