    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Drawing praise as WR2

    Jayden Higgins has consistently drawn praise throughout spring activities as the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Nico Collins, Jared Koch of SI.com reports.The No. 34 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft posted a 41-525-6 receiving line on 68 targets across 17 games as a rookie and appears positioned for a Year 2 leap. Koch reports that Higgins stands as the clear No. 2 receiver on Houston's depth chart ahead of training camp, a role that could benefit from the team's upgraded offensive line and the departure of Christian Kirk to San Francisco. Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel remain in the mix behind Collins and Higgins, while Tank Dell (knee) is expected to return at some point during the 2026 season.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Team-high six catches in loss

    Jayden Higgins caught six of 10 targets for 59 yards in the Houston Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday.The rookie wideout led Houston in catches and receiving yards with Nico Collins (concussion) unavailable, but it was Christian Kirk who caught C.J. Stroud's only TD pass of the day. Higgins put together a respectable rookie season after being a second-round pick out of Iowa State, playing all 17 regular-season games and posting a 41-525-6 line on 68 targets. With Kirk a free agent this offseason, Higgins may have shown enough to dissuade the Texans from bringing in veteran competition for the No. 2 receiver role.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Gains 39 yards in playoff win

    Jayden Higgins had three receptions (on four targets) for 39 yards in Monday's 30-6 wild-card win over Pittsburgh.Higgins finished second in receiving yardage for Houston after teammate Nico Collins suffered a concussion early in the second half and did not return. It was Houston Texans slot receiver Christian Kirk (8-144-1) who benefited the most from Collins' late exit in the dominating wild-card round victory over the Steelers. That said, if Collins is unable to clear the league's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's road playoff tilt against the Patriots, then Higgins would likely absorb some of his star teammate's targets in the divisional-round matchup.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Catches two passes in Week 18 win

    Jayden Higgins caught two of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts.Higgins caught both of his passes in the first half and had another long catch down the sideline called back on a penalty. The Houston Texans then took a handful of starters out of the game in the second half after Nico Collins (rest) wasn't even active for the Week 18 contest. Higgins figures to operate as the Texans' WR2 in next weekend's wild-card date with the Steelers or Ravens.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Highest yardage total as pro

    Jayden Higgins recorded two receptions on four targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.Higgins made an immediate impact in Saturday's game, breaking behind the Chargers' defense to catch a 75-yard touchdown on Houston's first possession of the game. He tacked on a 13-yard catch to begin the following drive, but he failed to make another reception thereafter. Even with just his production early in the contest, Higgins managed the highest yardage total of his rookie season and found the end zone for the first time since Week 12.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Catches one pass in victory

    Jayden Higgins caught one of three targets for 17 yards in the Houston Texans' 23-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.Higgins' three targets tied for fifth on the team, and the rookie has now managed just two catches for 21 scoreless yards on four targets across the last two contests. Higgins hasn't shown much of a fantasy ceiling in a passing offense that also includes Nico Collins, Dalton Schultz and Christian Kirk. Higgins won't be a recommended fantasy starter next Saturday against the Chargers' tough pass defense.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Quiet in blowout win

    Jayden Higgins caught his lone target for four yards during the Houston Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.It was a disappointing outing for Higgins, who was held to just one target for the first time since Week 9 and the fifth time on the season. It broke his five-game streak of at least five targets, as Dalton Schultz (8-76-1 on nine targets) and Nico Collins (3-85-2 on four targets) paced the Texans' pass catchers during Sunday's blowout win. Higgins will look to bounce back in Week 16 against the Raiders, whose defense yielded three touchdown passes to Jalen Hurts during their 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Targeted five times

    Jayden Higgins recorded three catches on five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.Higgins finished second on the team in targets, receptions and yards, with Nico Collins being the only Houston Texans pass catcher who was able to produce much. While his stat line wasn't spectacular, Higgins did convert a pair of first downs in the game, both of which were pivotal in Houston securing a win. He now has at least five targets in five straight games and will benefit from a better matchup in Week 15 against the Cardinals.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Stays hot in Week 13 win

    Jayden Higgins brought in all five targets for 65 yards in the Houston Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday.Higgins tied for second on the Texans with Nico Collins in receptions while also checking in as the runner-up to his teammate in receiving yards on the afternoon. The rookie had flashed plenty of chemistry with fill-in quarterback Davis Mills over the previous three games -- Higgins posted a 13-135-2 line over that span -- so it was particularly encouraging for fantasy managers to see Higgins establish a new single-game career-high yardage total with C.J. Stroud back under center. Higgins should remain an essential part of the air attack in a Week 14 road showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Records fourth TD in win

    Jayden Higgins brought in four of nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Houston Texans' 23-19 win over the Bills on Thursday night.The rookie wideout led the team in targets while checking in second in receptions, as he continued to display plenty of chemistry with fill-in signal-caller Davis Mills. The rookie second-round pick added his fourth career touchdown grab -- including his second in the three games Mills has started -- on an eight-yard catch just before halftime. Higgins has at least four receptions in three straight contests, but he'll likely return to working with C.J. Stroud (concussion) as his quarterback in a Week 13 road matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 30.
