I had concerns about Jayden Higgins playing X receiver in the league, but he really flashed the skills and route-running chops needed to win when he got reps as a Z receiver in his rookie season and could play more roles in 2026. Good sleeper at WR this season who doesn't seem to have much buzz. [Retweeted](PositiveUsageAug 4, 2026

Jaden Higgins is mentioned as an interesting secondary receiver option in Houston's offense behind Nico Collins.NegativeDepth ChartJun 5, 2026
Jayden Higgins is noted as a solid depth chart contributor in Houston's receiver room, further constraining opportunity for Jalen Nowell.PositiveRoleNo date
Matt Harmon identifies Jaden Higgins as a really good big Z movement receiver who fits well in that role but could also take approximately 30% of his snaps at X receiver. This dual-role deployment would allow Nico Collins to get easier matchups and move around the formation, positioning Higgins as a key piece in the Texans' receiver rotation alongside Tank Dell on the perimeter.PositiveBreakoutNo date
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 winâideally 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.
