Draft Tee Higgins over Bucky Irving if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw WR and RB points are not the tiebreaker: Tee Higgins is WR10 and No. 21 overall, 19 spots ahead of Bucky Irving at RB16 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. Bucky Irving remains a strong roster-build alternative, but Tee Higgins is the cleaner pick unless verified opportunity falls below 25.4% or the accepted team-scoring band changes.
