Jayden Higgins appears locked into a three-down role in the boundary rep opposite Nico Collins. Increased tight end reps mostly occur at the expense of the slot wide receiver. Higgins is a potential WR1 in the future and should take the next step as Houston's WR2.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Higgins locked into boundary role unaffected by Texans' tight-end shift.

Higgins appears locked into a three-down role in the boundary rep opposite Nico Collins for the Texans. Although the Texans are moving toward a tight-end-heavy offense, increased tight end reps occur at the expense of the slot wide receiver, not the boundary receiver. This makes tight ends Marlin Klein and Foster Moreau a problem for slot receivers like Jaylin Noel and Tank Dell rather than Higgins. At 6-4, 218, Higgins is a prototypical boundary receiver with almost identical athletic testing to Collins, who has an extensive injury history. Higgins is a potential WR1 in the future and should take the next step as Houston's WR2 in the meantime.
