• Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Makes most of only target

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Higgins hauled in his only target for an 18-yard touchdown during Sunday's 41-10 victory versus the Rams. Higgins served as the Cardinals' No. 2 TE behind Trey McBride in Week 1, but the former (55 percent) and rookie Tip Reiman (58 percent) had nearly equal snap shares Week 2. Through two games, Higgins at least has contributed as a pass catcher, including the second TD of his career Sunday, while Reiman has yet to see a target. With a team-leading 15 targets on the campaign, McBride is the team's clear-cut top option at the position, but Higgins so far has carved out a regular role in the offense.

• Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Makes two catches Sunday

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Higgins gathered in both of his targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 34-28 loss in Buffalo. Higgins took a clear back seat to starting tight end Trey McBride in terms of targets (9-2) and offensive snaps (52-25), while rookie third-round pick Tip Reiman (zero targets on 20 snaps) also got in the mix. Higgins seems secure in his role as the No. 2 TE, especially as a receiver, as Reiman likely will be almost exclusively a blocking specialist to begin his career. Higgins has a streak of five multi-catch games going, dating back to last season, and he should remain a small part of the Cardinals offense.

• Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Makes some headway after Week 10

  02/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Higgins gathered in 14 of 19 targets for 163 yards and one touchdown in 11 regular-season games in 2023. A sixth-round pick of the Dolphins in April, Higgins transitioned from oversized wide receiver to undersized tight end in the move to the pros. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder didn't survive cut-down day in Miami in late August and subsequently was claimed off waivers by Arizona. He eventually became a regular in the Cardinals offense after veteran Zach Ertz went down with a quad strain Week 7 and even recorded at least one catch in each of the team's final seven contests. That said, Higgins played second fiddle by a large margin to 2022 second-round pick Trey McBride, a role that likely will continue for him next season barring further additions at the position.
