Jayden Higgins' Dynasty Arrow is Pointing Up With Clear Path to WR2 Role in Houston
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins finished just inside the top 50 wideouts in half-PPR fantasy points in his first year in the NFL in 2025 after the Texans selected him 34th overall in the second round out of Iowa State in last year's draft. He caught 41 of his 68 targets for 525 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (10 starts). The 23-year-old added another nine receptions on 14 targets for 98 yards and no scores in two postseason tilts. Higgins' numbers weren't anything Earth-shattering, but fantasy managers who took him in dynasty leagues had to be happy to see his role grow as the year went on. With veteran Christian Kirk now gone, Higgins has a clear path to the WR2 role in 2026 in his sophomore campaign behind Nico Collins. The Texans are hoping that Tank Dell (knee) will make a mark on offense after missing all of last year with a serious knee injury, but he's no sure thing, and Higgins has much more upside than both Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel. Higgins' dynasty value in the years to come could hinge primarily on whether quarterback C.J. Stroud can turn his career around, but he's certainly an intriguing player to buy in dynasty formats. RotoBaller currently has Higgins ranked as the No. 44 WR in dynasty formats after his solid rookie season.
