Higgins caught one of three targets for 17 yards in the Texans' 23-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins' three targets tied for fifth on the team, and the rookie has now managed just two catches for 21 scoreless yards on four targets across the last two contests. Higgins hasn't shown much of a fantasy ceiling in a passing offense that also includes Nico Collins, Dalton Schultz and Christian Kirk. Higgins won't be a recommended fantasy starter next Saturday against the Chargers' tough pass defense.

Higgins caught his lone target for four yards during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a disappointing outing for Higgins, who was held to just one target for the first time since Week 9 and the fifth time on the season. It broke his five-game streak of at least five targets, as Dalton Schultz (8-76-1 on nine targets) and Nico Collins (3-85-2 on four targets) paced the Texans' pass catchers during Sunday's blowout win. Higgins will look to bounce back in Week 16 against the Raiders, whose defense yielded three touchdown passes to Jalen Hurts during their 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Higgins recorded three catches on five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins finished second on the team in targets, receptions and yards, with Nico Collins being the only Texans pass catcher who was able to produce much. While his stat line wasn't spectacular, Higgins did convert a pair of first downs in the game, both of which were pivotal in Houston securing a win. He now has at least five targets in five straight games and will benefit from a better matchup in Week 15 against the Cardinals.

Higgins brought in all five targets for 65 yards in the Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins tied for second on the Texans with Nico Collins in receptions while also checking in as the runner-up to his teammate in receiving yards on the afternoon. The rookie had flashed plenty of chemistry with fill-in quarterback Davis Mills over the previous three games -- Higgins posted a 13-135-2 line over that span -- so it was particularly encouraging for fantasy managers to see Higgins establish a new single-game career-high yardage total with C.J. Stroud back under center. Higgins should remain an essential part of the air attack in a Week 14 road showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

Higgins brought in four of nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 23-19 win over the Bills on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie wideout led the team in targets while checking in second in receptions, as he continued to display plenty of chemistry with fill-in signal-caller Davis Mills. The rookie second-round pick added his fourth career touchdown grab -- including his second in the three games Mills has started -- on an eight-yard catch just before halftime. Higgins has at least four receptions in three straight contests, but he'll likely return to working with C.J. Stroud (concussion) as his quarterback in a Week 13 road matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Higgins secured four catches (on seven targets) for 55 yards during Sunday's 16-13 win in Tennessee.
EDGE Analysis
In three games since Nico Collins returned to the lineup after he was absent Week 8 due to a concussion, Higgins' target count has gone from one in Week 9 to seven in back-to-back contests. Higgins thus appears to have settled into the No. 2 WR role in the Texans offense with QB Davis Allen filling in for C.J. Stroud (concussion), which has resulted in a combined 9-97-1 line for the rookie second-round pick over the last two outings. Higgins will look to maintain his usage Thursday against the Bills.

WR HOU (6)
Higgins caught five of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie wideout bounced back from a one-target showing in Week 10, catching his second TD in the last three games on a 12-yard toss from Davis Mills and setting a new season high in receptions. Higgins still doesn't have a consistent role in the Houston passing game, but he's caught at least four passes in three of the last five games, posting a 14-112-2 line on 23 targets during that span. Higgins will look to deliver two straight strong performances for the first time in a Week 11 trip to Tennessee.

Higgins caught his lone target for four yards and played 35 snaps in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos in Week 9.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins, who had eight targets and 66 snaps last week, experienced a significant reduction in workload and volume due to the returns of Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. In the six games when all the Texans' wideouts have been healthy in 2025, Higgins is averaging 30 snaps and 2.5 targets per game. For now, he's fourth on the depth chart, behind Xavier Hutchinson and slightly ahead of fellow rookie Jaylin Noel, who was limited to 11 offensive snaps and went untargeted Sunday.

Higgins brought in four of eight targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins logged a team-high target total in the absences of Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), and he recorded his second career touchdown on a 12-yard grab midway through the second quarter. Higgins' catch tally also tied a career high, while both his yardage and targets qualified as new high-water marks. The rookie second-round pick could continue operating in an expanded role during a Week 9 home matchup against the Broncos.

Higgins did not catch any of his three targets in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks in Week 7.
EDGE Analysis
More was expected out of the rookie, who played a season-high 48 snaps as he moved up the depth chart with Christian Kirk (hamstring) inactive, but Higgins got caught up in the shocking mess that was Houston's offense, which had 15 days to prepare for the game but still managed just 254 yards of offense and only 14 first downs that weren't the product of Seattle penalties. Higgins was blanked for the first time in six games, as the Texans' shaky offensive line made life difficult for quarterback C.J. Stroud. There may be additional responsibility placed on Higgins next week against San Francisco, as top wideout Nico Collins was removed from Monday's contest and will begin preparation for Week 8 in the concussion protocol.
