Efficient red-zone threat with starter upside
In his 2025 rookie season with Houston, Jayden Higgins posted 41 catches for 525 yards and 6 touchdowns in 17 games, showing strong touchdown production even in a limited role.[1][2][14] His calling card is reliable hands, quality ball tracking, and a big-play profile that translated at Iowa State, where he topped 1,100 yards and scored 9 touchdowns in 2024 after an 983-yard, 6-TD 2023 season.[3][4] If you want a physical, contested-catch receiver who can win downfield and in the red zone, he fits; the main question is volume, not talent.[10][14]
