Higgins' rookie efficiency and expanded role set up second-year breakout potential.

Higgins put together one of the better rookie seasons (ADP 153), catching 41 passes for 525 yards and six touchdowns despite playing fewer than 60% of Houston's offensive snaps. His six receiving touchdowns tied Nico Collins for the team lead. Among rookie receivers, Higgins ranked fourth in receiving yards and tied for second in touchdowns, making the most of his limited opportunities. At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, Higgins gives the Texans a physical outside receiver who has already proven he can convert scoring opportunities. Higgins is expected to take on a larger role opposite Collins after his playing time steadily increased throughout his rookie season. Higgins has an excellent chance to dramatically outperform an ADP outside of the top 100 if this offense takes a step forward with a competent run game.
