More on Higgins and the TE board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #240 overall, #39 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 169.9 (roughly round 15 in a 12-team league). We rank him #159 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 6.8 PPR points per game across an expected 9 games — approximately 61 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 5 and 8.7 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #164 in projected scoring (#159 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 71% of games, with a floor of 0 and a ceiling of 9.9 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 29% of games and busted (under half his average) in 29%.
