Rashard Higgins

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports the Browns are re-signing WR Rashard Higgins.

Fantasy Impact

Higgins will resume his No. 3 wideout role assuming Odell Beckham Jr. (ACL) remains with Cleveland. "Hollywood" shouldn't be viewed more than a bye-week filler entering 2021.

Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins, an impending free agent, wants to return to Cleveland next season but hasn't been offered a new contract yet.

Fantasy Impact

Higgins impressed this past season in the absence of Odell Beckham Jr., making him one of the most intriguing under-the-radar pass-catchers set to hit free agency. Nevertheless, a standstill continues to ensue on the negotiating front. "I haven’t seen an offer yet," Higgins said. This is somewhat surprising as he would provide outstanding depth to a Browns receiving corps that has shown flashes of excitement if it can stay healthy. If he were to return, Higgins would slot in as the No. 3 receiver behind Beckham and Jarvis Landry. He currently resides as the WR100 in the latest expert consensus draft rankings.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins caught 5-of-7 passes for 88 yards in a 22-17 loss to the Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

Fantasy Impact

Higgins led the team in receiving but it was a play that he didn't make that will be remembered. Higgins lost a fumble through Kansas City's end zone while trying to extend the ball over the goal line, resulting in a touchback for the Chiefs. Higgins will become a free agent this offseason and could find himself in a different city in 2021.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins caught 2-of-3 targets for 55 yards in a 24-22 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Higgins led the Browns in receiving, with most of his production coming on a 42-yard reception. The veteran wideout turned in a solid second half of the season. He will face the Steelers again next week in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
