Higgins had a wild 19.5 average depth of target on his six targets in Week 1, leading to an elite 117 air yards...Burrow had a 14.3 aDOT under center versus a 6.3 aDOT in the gun...Unfortunately, this is a difficult spot. Burrow seems a bit banged up, and the Texans were the fifth-best defense against fantasy WRs last year.

Higgins' elite air yards offset by Burrow injury concerns and elite Texans secondary.

Higgins had 19.5 average depth of target on six targets in Week 1, generating elite 117 air yards. Joe Burrow's under-center play-action looks are valuable; Burrow had 14.3 aDOT under center versus 6.3 aDOT in the gun with half-second quicker time to throw. Higgins is WR16 on WR24 usage since 2025 with Burrow in lineup, even better than 2024. However, this is a difficult spot: Burrow appears banged up, Texans were fifth-best defense against fantasy WRs last year with Pro Bowl-caliber secondary, and Cincy's team total is low at 22.0 points (19th). Projection: 55.5 receiving yards.
