Elijah Higgins

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.

Elijah Higgins hauled in 7-of-8 targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Higgins stepped up on Sunday. He set new career highs in receptions and receiving yards in this matchup against the Falcons, but it wasn't enough to lead the Cardinals to a win. This is an outlier game and he isn't expected to be a relevant fantasy option moving forward, however.
