Jayden Higgins vs Jordan Addison: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Jayden Higgins (Houston Texans) finished the 2025 season averaging 6.4 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Jordan Addison (Minnesota Vikings) came in at 8.1 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Jordan Addison carries a 1.7-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. Jayden Higgins turned 68 targets into 525 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Jordan Addison converted 79 looks into 610 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Jayden Higgins sits Week 14 while Jordan Addison is off Week 6. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
