Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Puts together career-best performance
Elijah Higgins recorded seven catches (on eight targets) for 91 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.Higgins surprisingly matched standout TE Trey McBride (4-27-0) for the team lead in targets, and the former easily paced the Arizona Cardinals in both receptions and receiving yards. Additionally, Higgins more than doubled his previous career high in yards (45 in Week 2 of this season) Sunday. He did all of this with No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (1-14-0 on three targets) back in action and Michael Wilson (2-52-1 on three targets) in the midst of a recent hot stretch. Higgins likely will take a step back in the pecking order for targets in Arizona's final two games of the campaign, especially as Harrison gets healthier.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Active in Week 15
Elijah Higgins (illness) is active for Sunday's game at Houston.Higgins was held out of Friday's practice due to an illness that left him questionable for Week 15 action. Now that he's confirmed to be active, he'll be working in a passing game without the services of WRs Marvin Harrison (heel, inactive), Greg Dortch (chest, IR) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring, inactive), among others, for a second consecutive contest. In the first such outing last Sunday against the Rams, Higgins received a season-high 66 percent snap share but couldn't haul in his only target, while top TE Trey McBride (5-58-0 on nine targets) and WR Michael Wilson (11-142-2 on 16 targets) dominated the attention of QB Jacoby Brissett.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Added to injury report
Elijah Higgins is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston after missing Friday's practice with an illness, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.He hasn't seen enough targets to warrant fantasy consideration, but Higgins has taken over more playing time recently due to Arizona's numerous WR injuries. Josiah Deguara and Pharaoh Brown could be tasked with larger roles if Higgins is declared inactive before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Minimal output in Week 14
Elijah Higgins caught his only target for no yards during Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.Higgins started alongside top TE Trey McBride in Week 14 and logged a season-high 66 percent snap share as a number of injuries depleted the Arizona Cardinals' receiving corps, but the increased workload didn't translate into production. In addition to his usage on offense, Higgins tallied one tackle on kick coverage. He sports a meager 19-179-0 line on 23 targets through 13 games this season, keeping him off the fantasy radar.

Elijah Higgins caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers.Higgins recorded the sixth-most receiving yards on the Arizona Cardinals during Sunday's loss after going without a target in the Week 12 loss to the Jaguars. The third-year pro from Stanford has now caught 18 of 22 targets for 179 yards through Arizona's first 12 games this season, and he's likely to remain a minimal portion of the team's passing attack in the Week 14 matchup against the Rams.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Two grabs in loss
Elijah Higgins caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.Higgins continued to operate as Arizona's No. 2 tight end behind Trey McBride, playing 28 of the Arizona Cardinals' 79 offensive snaps while McBride (70) continued to dominate as one of the team's top pass catchers. The 25-year-old Higgins is not seeing enough usage to be considered for fantasy purposes. Barring an injury to McBride, the Stanford product will remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Jaguars.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Records three receptions Monday
Elijah Higgins recorded three catches (on three targets) for 30 yards during Monday's 27-17 win in Dallas.Working behind a top receiving tight end like Trey McBride doesn't leave much in terms of targets for Higgins, but the latter took advantage of his looks Monday en route to a season best in receptions. Furthermore, Higgins has settled into the No. 2 TE role over the last three games with Tip Reiman (ankle) out for the season, receiving 40 to 45 percent of the offense snaps during that span. Expect Higgins to hover in that range and get the 1.8 targets per game that come with it as long as McBride is available.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Two catches against Colts
Elijah Higgins caught both of his targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.Higgins was targeted twice in a contest for the second straight week, although the third-year tight end was unable to get much going with his opportunities. The 24-year-old played 33 of the Arizona Cardinals' 73 offensive snaps, behind starting tight end Trey McBride (66). As long as McBride is healthy, Higgins remains far off the fantasy radar. Next up for the Cardinals is a Week 7 matchup against the Packers.
