I. Player News & Analysis

ESPN	RotoWire	Trends
"Higgins was selected by Houston in the second round of April's draft. He is one of the biggest receivers in this class at 6-foot-4, 214 pounds with an 80-inch wingspan. He tested well athletically at the combine and his 2.86 career YPRR ranked third best in this WR class. He handled a big-time target share at Iowa State and was a machine at converting catches into first downs (class-best 74% rate). With Tank Dell a long shot to play in 2025, Higgins will compete with Christian Kirk, Xavier Hutchinson and fellow rookie Jaylin Noel for No. 2 duties opposite Nico Collins. Flex production is possible if he wins that gig, but a lot has to go right. He's best viewed as a late-round lottery ticket."	"Higgins' playing time was already on the rise, including a season-high 39 snaps (56 percent) in the Week 5 win over Baltimore, and could reach new heights in Week 7. The activity against the Ravens didn't lead to a touchdown, but Higgins had season highs in targets (four), catches (four) and tied his season high in yards (32). With Kirk unavailable, Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel should all see increased playing time."
