| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | There's a world where Zay Flowers has the talent to be a top-5 fantasy WR if he can ever score TDs. Over 1,200 yards. 86 catches and 5 TDs (WR7) in 2025. WR3 over the last five games. 4+ catches in 13 of his 17 games: a testament to his reliable floor and consistent involvement. 5th in target share (28%). 11th in air yards share (35%). 4th in yards per route run behind Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Luther Burden. | Jayden Higgins had a quiet rookie season statistically, but the Texans' second-round pick showed encouraging flashes once his role expanded late in the year. Higgins started earning more playing time after Week 10 and proved capable of stepping up whenever Nico Collins missed time, flashing both touchdown upside and starter-level usage. Entering Year 2, Higgins is positioned as Houston's full-time No. 2 receiver with clear contingent upside if Collins were ever sidelined. He's an appealing late-round depth target in deeper fantasy formats, especially given the coaching staff's confidence in his long-term potential. |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Last year, Zay Flowers posted career-best marks across the board with 86 receptions, 1,211 receiving yards, and a WR12 finish in fantasy points per game. It was amazing to see for a player who also ranked eighth in target share (27.7%), 11th in receiving yards per game (71.2), seventh in yards per route run (2.61), and tenth in first-read share (33.3%, per Fantasy Points Data). While Flowers also saw 19 deep targets last year, the big concern with him is his touchdown upside. Flowers has never had more than five receiving touchdowns in any season, and with only 11 red zone targets last year, it's tough to project a huge spike in that this season, but there could be hope with the arrival of offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. I'm not projecting that Doyle heads into this season drawing up more usage for Flowers near the goal line, but it can't possibly get any worse than it has been previously. Flowers is a strong WR2 with WR1 upside again this year. | We should always be looking to take swings on talented second-year wide receivers for fantasy football, and Jayden Higgins fits the bill as a possible late-round breakout candidate for 2026. Last year, in Weeks 8-18, Higgins had seven finishes as a WR3 or better in weekly scoring. During that stretch, Higgins, among 119 qualifying receivers, also ranked 24th in target per route run rate (24%) and 38th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). During those 11 games, among the same group of 119 receivers, Higgins was also 28th in yards per route run and 25th in route win rate as a perimeter receiver. If C.J. Stroud can at least be a league-average passer in 2026, Higgins could be a weekly WR2/3 or flex option. He also has contingent upside if Nico Collins misses any time. |
| Chris Welsh FantasyPros | - 5th in Yards per route run at 2.52 - Ranked 10th in Target Share at 28.9% - WR 11 in PPR - With some without Lamar Notes: - Declon Doyle from the Ben johnson Tree - Ravens dead last in past attempts - Just moving this number up improves | |
