Jayden Higgins vs Rashid Shaheed: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Jayden Higgins finished the 2025 season at 6.4 PPG over 17 games with the Houston Texans, while Rashid Shaheed clocked in at 7.1 across 18 appearances for the Seattle Seahawks. A 0.7-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Jayden Higgins turned 68 targets into 525 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Rashid Shaheed converted 92 looks into 687 yards and 2 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Jayden Higgins is off Week 14 and Rashid Shaheed Week 10. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
