Tee Higgins vs Tory Horton: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Tee Higgins and Tory Horton is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver put up 12.1 PPG in 2025 over 15 games; Tory Horton of the Seattle Seahawks averaged 7.3 in 8. A 4.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 4.8 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.
Target volume is the story here. Tee Higgins saw 98 targets in 2025, while Tory Horton drew 22. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Tee Higgins, even in weeks where Tory Horton posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Tee Higgins has his bye in Week 12, and Tory Horton rests in Week 10. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
