Jayden Higgins vs Jordan AddisonWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Jordan Addison is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 8.1 PPG to Jayden Higgins's 6.4 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Jordan Addison is the better fantasy play this season.

Jordan Addison has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.7-PPG advantage is real (8.1 to 6.4), and Jordan Addison's 4 touchdowns show scoring upside. Jayden Higgins is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.
