The Houston Texans will visit the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Jayden Higgins.

Higgins is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Higgins in Week 14?
Higgins is moving in a positive direction for a team that is also moving in a positive direction, which is a nice alignment of priorities, but not something I expect to land him on our weekly radar.
The profile the rookie has put forth is impressive and will undoubtedly be one that I’ll consider for next season. He’s a viable depth piece for the final month of 2025 (4-5 receptions in four straight games), but in this matchup against the fourth-best defense in terms of limiting deep completions (2.3 per game), there is more downside in getting cute with a play like this than there is room for real reward.
My Higgins weekly ranking (usually in the 30-40 range) has as much to do with C.J. Stroud as it does the receiver himself: Are you comfortable in asking him to support three pass catchers?
I’m not.
