Higgins is a late-round breakout candidate with WR2/3 upside if Stroud performs.

Higgins is a possible late-round breakout candidate for 2026 as a talented second-year receiver. In Weeks 8-18 of 2025, he had seven finishes as a WR3 or better in weekly scoring. During that 11-game stretch, among 119 qualifying receivers, Higgins ranked 24th in target per route run rate (24%), 38th in first downs per route run, 28th in yards per route run, and 25th in route win rate as a perimeter receiver. If C.J. Stroud is at least league-average in 2026, Higgins could be a weekly WR2/3 or flex option; he also has contingent upside if Nico Collins misses time.
