Jayden Higgins

Jayden Higgins is the only other Houston wide receiver (outside of Nico Collins) who has any type of fringe flex viability. Last week, Xavier Hutchinson had a 51% route share and didn't draw a single target. Christian Kirk and Jaylin Noel logged 44.9% and 32.7% route shares. In Week 10, Higgins had a 49% route share, which isn't great and was fourth on the team, but he had a 15.6% target share, a 22% air-yard share, finishing with a 29% target per route run rate, 42 receiving yards, 1.75 yards per route run, and a 16.7% first-read share. Higgins also had two red zone targets and a deep target. I hate Houston's deployment of their wide receivers so much this season. It makes me furious. Higgins is a risky flex play that could pay off this week. Since Week 6, the Titans have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards per game and the second-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Jayden Higgins is a player I could have easily dropped to stash status, but I want fantasy managers ahead of the curve if Houston stops fooling around with this wide-receiver-by-committee approach. In Week 10, Higgins played 57.3% of the snaps with a 53% route share. He had a 15.9% target share, which he turned into five grabs, 42 receiving yards and a touchdown. Houston keeps playing silly games with its wide receiver usage. Until the Texans stop limiting their players in a rotation, Higgins will remain a volatile and capped fantasy option. He has solid Flex value this week, though. Since Week 5, Tennessee has allowed the second-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
