Should I start Malachi Fields or Jayden Higgins in Week 10?
Updated Nov 10, 1:36 PM ET. Week 11 answers post Tuesday.
Start Malachi Fields: he has been on the field this season, 84 percent of the snaps, and Jayden Higgins has no snap on record yet. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size307 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Malachi Fields, and the board ranks him 226th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jayden Higgins, and the board ranks him 227th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
No season market is posted for Malachi Fields, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
No season market is posted for Jayden Higgins, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
Neither carries a posted market, so this page rests on the draft room and on what the two have already done.
This season through Week 9
Through Week 9, Malachi Fields has been on the field for 76 percent of NYG snaps, drawn 13 percent of the targets and had 7 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 10 of the offence's 71 third down targets, had 0 of its 15 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 33 two minute targets.
His 35 targets have averaged 13.5 air yards.
In Week 6 against NO he caught 2 of 8 targets for 19 yards and did not score.
In Week 7 against HOU he caught 4 of 5 targets for 83 yards and did not score.
In Week 9 against PHI he caught 3 of 5 targets for 40 yards and did not score.
The usage feed holds no snap or target counts for Jayden Higgins this season.
Their 2025 seasons
Malachi Fields is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
In 2025 Jayden Higgins played 17 games and scored 129.5 PPR points, 7.6 a game, finishing WR47.
He caught 41 of 68 targets for 525 yards and 6 touchdowns, with 7 red zone targets.
That came to 4.0 targets a game, a 60 percent catch rate and 12.8 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 56 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Byes and availability
Both are off in Week 8, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.
Jayden Higgins is listed as ir on the injury report.
