Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Featured usage in a listed second role — score moved up inside a new range.

Proven TE in his prime — production and runway both hold.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer

Buy

Higgins caught 8 passes for 96 yards in 2026, ranking TE33 through 4 games. Through 4 games he sits TE33, up from TE51 — a climb, not a final rank. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
