Where should you draft Higgins?
Higgins’ fantasy value should remain similar to last year as a solid 2nd option for QB Joe Burrow.
Higgins has the ability to go up against defenders and use his size and athleticism to come down with the ball. He will still mostly be an underneath receiver with the occasional deep route. Having Chase on the same offense will limit some of his full potential, but a weapon like that means that Higgins will often line up against 2nd-string cornerbacks allowing him to make big plays.
While the Bengals seem to have one of the deepest offenses in the NFL and that has the potential to limit Higgins overall production, he was targeted more than 100 times last year, highlighting his importance on the high-powered offense.
Draft Higgins in the early to mid 3rd round. When healthy, he’s good for 80-90 catches and more than 1,000 yards. Do not underestimate his ability and miss out on a high-caliber receiver.
