We should always be looking to take swings on talented second-year wide receivers for fantasy football, and Jayden Higgins fits the bill as a possible late-round breakout candidate for 2026. Last year, in Weeks 8-18, Higgins had seven finishes as a WR3 or better in weekly scoring.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Higgins valued 32 spots above ADP as second-year breakout with WR3 floor in late season.

Higgins is ranked WR49 overall with ECR vs. ADP of +32, indicating strong expert consensus above current draft position as a possible late-round breakout candidate. In Weeks 8-18 of 2025, he had seven finishes as a WR3 or better in weekly scoring. During that 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 can at least be a league-average passer in 2026, Higgins could be a weekly WR2/3 or flex option. He also has contingent upside if Nico Collins misses any time.
