Tee Higgins vs Theo Johnson: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Tee Higgins (WR, Cincinnati Bengals) against Theo Johnson (TE, New York Giants) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Tee Higgins averaged 12.1 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while Theo Johnson posted 7.0 PPG across 15 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Tee Higgins has his bye in Week 12, Theo Johnson in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
