Jayden HigginsWR
Higgins is a second-year Texans WR being drafted outside the top-50 WRs and is listed as a favorite bet for WR1 breakout. In Weeks 8-18 of 2025, he had seven finishes as WR3 or better and ranked 24th in target per route run rate (24%), 38th in first downs per route run, 28th in yards per route run, and 25th in route win rate among 119 qualifying receivers. He flashed TD upside when Nico Collins was out (2-23-1, 4-43-1, 6-59-0). Entering Year 2, he provides standalone value as a full-time starter across from Collins but possesses high contingent upside should anything happen to Collins. The coaching staff believes Higgins can do much of what Collins can, making him a strong bench stash and depth piece.
