Quick answer

Buy

Higgins caught 41 passes for 525 yards in 2025, finishing WR46. He scored 10% more than his touches said he should. Age 24 leaves room to grow — if opportunity sticks. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the WR role keeps opening up.
