2024 Fantasy Outlook
Higgins played wide receiver at Stanford but was drafted by the Dolphins in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft with an eye on turning him into a tight end. Miami quickly gave up on that project, waiving Higgins before the start of the season, at which point he was claimed by Arizona and proceeded to post 163 yards and one touchdown as a rookie. The rebuilding Cardinals are better positioned to take a patient approach with the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Higgins’ position change, but his path to playing time could be blocked by two other young tight ends. Trey McBride emerged as one of the NFL’s most productive tight ends last season and the Cardinals bolstered the position by selecting Tip Reiman in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Another two-target outing Sunday
TEArizona Cardinals
November 25, 2024
Higgins gathered in one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.
ANALYSIS
On the other side of the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, Higgins extended his streak with exactly two targets to four games, but he brought in only one of them this time around. Working in an offense with TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 line on 15 targets Sunday) doesn't leave much volume behind for his position mates, and WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and RB James Conner typically are on the receiving end of most of QB Kyler Murray's other passes. Higgins' next chance to produce arrives this coming Sunday at Minnesota.

Kyle Pitts' production is surging despite a decline in playing time, making him one of the riskiest assets in the fantasy landscape.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A rookie sixth-round pick out of Stanford, Higgins faces the challenge of transitioning from wide receiver to tight end and thus looks unlikely to see playing time early in his career. If he can overcome the steep positional learning curve, though, the 6-3, 228-pound pass-catcher could legitimately find a spot in Miami's offense. Higgins has the speed and burst to contribute in the receiving game, but it may require patience.
