Jayden Higgins Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Wed, May 21st 2025, 12:29pm EDT

Jayden Higgins lands in a dream fantasy spot after being selected 34th overall by the Houston Texans. With Tank Dell likely sidelined for much of 2025 and Christian Kirk only under contract for one year, Higgins is positioned to start immediately alongside Nico Collins and Kirk in a high-powered offense led by C.J. Stroud. The former Iowa State standout was PFF's highest-graded WR in 2024, commanding a 33% target share while boasting a top-10 career college dominator rating in the class. With a strong blend of size, speed, and draft capital - and strong connections between the Texans and Iowa State coaching staffs - Higgins profiles as a plug-and-play rookie with significant fantasy appeal.
