Jayden Higgins vs Romeo Doubs: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Jayden Higgins and Romeo Doubs is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Houston Texans wide receiver put up 6.4 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Romeo Doubs of the New England Patriots averaged 8.6 in 16. A 2.2-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.2 points favors Romeo Doubs, 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. Jayden Higgins turned 68 targets into 525 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Romeo Doubs converted 85 looks into 724 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
