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.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: Another seven targets Sunday
Jayden Higgins secured four catches (on seven targets) for 55 yards during Sunday's 16-13 win in Tennessee.In three games since Nico Collins returned to the lineup after he was absent Week 8 due to a concussion, Higgins' target count has gone from one in Week 9 to seven in back-to-back contests. Higgins thus appears to have settled into the No. 2 WR role in the Houston Texans offense with QB Davis Mills filling in for C.J. Stroud (concussion), which has resulted in a combined 9-97-1 line for the rookie second-round pick over the last two outings. Higgins will look to maintain his usage Thursday against the Bills.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: Hauls in TD in comeback win
Jayden Higgins caught five of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.The rookie wideout bounced back from a one-target showing in Week 10, catching his second TD in the last three games on a 12-yard toss from Davis Mills and setting a new season high in receptions. Higgins still doesn't have a consistent role in the Houston passing game, but he's caught at least four passes in three of the last five games, posting a 14-112-2 line on 23 targets during that span. Higgins will look to deliver two straight strong performances for the first time in a Week 11 trip to Tennessee.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: Returns to depth role in Week 9
Jayden Higgins caught his lone target for four yards and played 35 snaps in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos in Week 9.Higgins, who had eight targets and 66 snaps last week, experienced a significant reduction in workload and volume due to the returns of Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. In the six games when all the Houston Texans' wideouts have been healthy in 2025, Higgins is averaging 30 snaps and 2.5 targets per game. For now, he's fourth on the depth chart, behind Xavier Hutchinson and slightly ahead of fellow rookie Jaylin Noel, who was limited to 11 offensive snaps and went untargeted Sunday.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: Team-high target total in win
Jayden Higgins brought in four of eight targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Houston Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.Higgins logged a team-high target total in the absences of Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), and he recorded his second career touchdown on a 12-yard grab midway through the second quarter. Higgins' catch tally also tied a career high, while both his yardage and targets qualified as new high-water marks. The rookie second-round pick could continue operating in an expanded role during a Week 9 home matchup against the Broncos.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: No impact in loss
Jayden Higgins did not catch any of his three targets in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks in Week 7.More was expected out of the rookie, who played a season-high 48 snaps as he moved up the depth chart with Christian Kirk (hamstring) inactive, but Higgins got caught up in the shocking mess that was Houston's offense, which had 15 days to prepare for the game but still managed just 254 yards of offense and only 14 first downs that weren't the product of Seattle penalties. Higgins was blanked for the first time in six games, as the Houston Texans' shaky offensive line made life difficult for quarterback C.J. Stroud. There may be additional responsibility placed on Higgins next week against San Francisco, as top wideout Nico Collins was removed from Monday's contest and will begin preparation for Week 8 in the concussion protocol.

Texans' Jayden Higgins: Could see more action Week 7
Jayden Higgins could be in line for more playing time in Monday's game at Seattle with Christian Kirk (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.Higgins' playing time was already on the rise, with the rookie second-round pick logging a season-high 39 snaps (56 percent) in a Week 5 win over Baltimore before the Houston Texans went on bye for Week 6. The added snaps versus the Ravens didn't lead to a touchdown, but Higgins notched season highs in targets (four), and catches (four) and matched his season high in yards (32). With Kirk unavailable, Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel could all see more involvement in the passing game behind No. 1 wideout Nico Collins.
