Expert Note

It's impossible to trust Jayden Higgins as a flex play this week. Higgins has disappointed in each of the last three weeks with nice matchups. Yes, this is partially a CJ Stroud issue, but also Dalton Schultz is the clear WR2 in this offense. Higgins hasn't had more than three receptions or 34 receiving yards in a game since Week 13. This week, he faces a Bolts' pass defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game and the fourth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Sit Higgins.

Jayden Higgins catches long TD in win

Jayden Higgins caught two of four targets for 88 yards and a score in the Texans' 20-16 win over the Chargers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Higgins' fantasy day was made by a 75-yard score in the first quarter, a boon to those who started him. He went on a six-week stretch of relevance earlier this season, but was quiet the last three games before Saturday. He'll look to finish strong against the Colts next week.
