Fantasy Snapshot
PFM Fantasy Outlook
Higgins did not need 1,000 yards to deliver one of his best fantasy seasons. He caught 59 passes for 846 yards in 15 games and scored a career-high 11 touchdowns, tied for second in the NFL. That followed 10 receiving scores in 2024, giving him consecutive double-digit touchdown seasons for the first time in his career.
PFM has Higgins at WR16 and No. 35 overall. Cincinnati still asks him to share targets with Ja'Marr Chase, but the touchdown role has become too consistent to dismiss as noise. Higgins also remains under the four-year deal he signed in 2025, so there is no change in team or quarterback to price in. The fantasy bet is straightforward: the target volume may keep him below the very top tier, but his size, scoring role and established production give him a weekly ceiling that fits comfortably inside WR2 territory.
