ARI · TE · Age 25
He did post career-best receiving numbers in his third season, but rarely turned that into standalone fantasy production, and additional tight end depth on the roster adds further competition for snaps in two-TE sets. The only realistic paths to a meaningful value bump are a McBride injury creating a short-term opportunity, or a longer-horizon shift in Arizona's tight end depth chart. This profile is a hold-at-best, more appropriately a sell into any speculative demand — he's a deep-stash dynasty piece with capped near-term upside, not a buy target.
Even after posting career-best receiving numbers in 2025, Higgins rarely produced standalone fantasy weeks, reflecting a tertiary role behind McBride with additional competition for snaps from blocking-oriented tight end depth.
Should McBride miss extended time, Higgins is the direct beneficiary as Arizona's next-man-up receiving tight end, though this remains a contingent, not baseline, path to value.
A future shift in McBride's situation (extension logistics, injury, or eventual departure) could open a larger receiving role for Higgins, though no such change is currently indicated.
