Jordan Addison vs Tee Higgins: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Jordan Addison and Tee Higgins is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver put up 8.1 PPG in 2025 over 14 games; Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals averaged 12.1 in 15. A 4.0-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 4.0 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. Jordan Addison turned 79 targets into 610 yards and 3 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.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Jordan Addison sits Week 6 while Tee Higgins is off Week 12. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
