Strong separation on breaking routes; needs right role as Z receiver.
Jayden HigginsWR
Matt Harmon highlights Jaden Higgins as a dark horse candidate for the Texans. Higgins impressed with strong separation ability on 90-degree breaking routes (digs and outs) run at high volume with solid win rate, plus a big post-route success rate. Harmon notes Higgins needs the right role catering to win—ideally as a big Z receiver when spread out, off-ball, with slot reps rotating with Jaylen Null. In single-receiver situations, he could be the lone option. Harmon compares his separation ability to Michael Pittman Jr. and emphasizes Higgins' ability to win on explosive shot plays; he's also a solid blocker. Nico Collins' health is relevant since Collins is strong in these same route situations.

That would be Jaden Higgins, secondyear receiver of the Houston Texans... Higgins, um, is someone that I actually was pretty impressed with his separation ability on those 90° breaking routes, digs, and outs... Big post route success rate there... he just needs to be like a big Z receiver when they spread it out, get him off ball, get him some slot reps... he could be the lone guy... he can separate pretty well on those kind of in like maybe a Michael Pitman way player compwise... someone that I definitely think can win on those like more explosive shot play situations there. Plus, he's a pretty good blocker
