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 had 2 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB224 through 3 games. The running rank is LB224 through 3 games, from LB240. Don't treat that like a season finish. Only 7 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
