From the article

Elijah Higgins (6'-3", 245 pounds) is really a good play on his own. He could very well be paired with McBride with Reiman the third guy. But Higgins will need more than the 37 targets he received last year... Higgins can be another huge receiving target in this offense... His route running is sparse, and yes, he lacks top-end speed, but he knows how to get to the high point of the throw and has decent YAC numbers.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Higgins needs volume boost from 37 targets; high-point catcher with seam-stretching upside.

Higgins is positioned as a receiving target in the new short-passing offense, needing to exceed the 37 targets he received last year. The source highlights his high-point catching ability, decent YAC, and potential as a mismatch against safeties despite limited separation and route-running ability. Paired with McBride, Higgins is expected to provide seam-stretching explosiveness and surprise fantasy value in this scheme.
