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.

The Texans have ruled Christian Kirk (hamstring) out for Week 7, per Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle, which may lead to more playing time for Higgins and the rest of the receivers in Monday's game at Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins' playing time was already on the rise, including a season-high 39 snaps (56 percent) in the Week 5 win over Baltimore, and could reach new heights in Week 7. The activity against the Ravens didn't lead to a touchdown, but Higgins had season highs in targets (four), catches (four) and tied his season high in yards (32). With Kirk unavailable, Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel should all see increased playing time.

Higgins caught all four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens in Week 5.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins was on the field for a season-high 39 snaps (56 percent share), as the rookie's role has steadily increased. Sunday's four targets also were a season high.

Higgins caught his lone target for a 24-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's 26-0 win over Tennessee in Week 4.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins blew past Titans safety Amani Hooker on a fade route in the fourth quarter for his first NFL touchdown. It was the third reception over 20 yards for the rookie, who has five catches on six targets to start his NFL career. Getting separation hasn't been an issue for Higgins, who has gotten open on 12 of 16 opportunities, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. With Houston's offense finally beginning to click in the fourth game of the season, perhaps quarterback C.J. Stroud can capitalize on Higgins' ability to get open more frequently.

Higgins caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
The season debut of Christian Kirk had little impact on Higgins' workload, as the rookie was on the field for 44 percent of the offensive snaps, right at his season average through three games. That was the positive. The negatives are that Higgins has seen just one target each of the last two weeks, and that quarterback C.J. Stroud needs to elevate his game. Houston's pass attack was held under 200 net passing yards, accounting for yards lost via sack, for a second consecutive week.

Higgins caught is lone target for 28 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to Tampa Bay in Week 2.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins' lone catch put the Texans in business deep in Buccaneers territory, but the offense failed to capitalize. The rookie wideout has three receptions (four targets) for 60 yards, including two 20-plus yard receptions. Higgins is part of a crew that includes Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Justin Watson that are receiving more playing time due to Christian Kirk (hamstring) being unavailable. One or more of that group will experience a drop in snap count once Kirk is ready.

Higgins finished with two receptions on three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Higgins wound up leading the Texans in receiving yards despite posting such meager totals. It was a missed opportunity for the second-round rookie, who was elevated into the starting lineup in place of the injured Christian Kirk (hamstring). It is unclear how long Kirk will remain out, but Higgins didn't do enough to inspire confidence in fantasy managers heading into next Monday's tilt against Tampa Bay.
