Texans' Jayden Higgins: Drawing praise as WR2
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
Higgins caught six of 10 targets for 59 yards in the 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
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 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.
