Elijah Higgins Week 17 Outlook - Cardinals at Bengals

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Dec 27th 2025, 9:35am EST

Last week, Elijah Higgins was the WR2 for Arizona with a 75.8% route share, a 22.6% target share, 91 receiving yards, 3.64 yards per route run, and a 21.1% first-read share. In Weeks 14-15, Higgins had route shares of 62% and 62.8%, so this isn't a one-off sample of Higgins running more routes, but the heavier integration into the game plan was a change. Higgins is a deep league streaming option this week at tight end. Since Week 10, Cincy has allowed the most fantasy points per game and the highest yards per target to tight ends.
