Scouting report

Summary

Elijah Higgins carries a 74.0 dynasty score, ranking 50 at TE. Higgins’ 30 receptions and 301 receiving yards indicate a stable usage trajectory, and his age (25) combined with 3 years remaining on his contract suggests a secure role for the next 3 seasons.

Projection Rationale

Higgins’ 30 receptions and 301 receiving yards indicate stable usage and moderate production. His Verdict production grade at the 33rd percentile suggests he can improve his efficiency. Higgins’ contract situation, with 3 years remaining and an APY of $1,003,970, suggests role security.

Injury Risk

Higgins was listed as questionable in Week 15 of the 2025 season due to a practice absence. As a 25-year-old player with a durable Verdict durability grade percentile of 88th percentile, his injury risk is low.

Opportunity Notes

Higgins’ snap share trended upward to 60.0% in Week 14 and Week 16, indicating increased usage. There is no clear competition for his role, and he maintains a secure position in the Arizona Cardinals’ offense.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Nathaniel Hackett coordinates a west coast offense with a 73.2% shotgun rate, which may limit Higgins’ ceiling due to reduced opportunities. However, Higgins’ stable usage suggests he can adapt to the system.

Trend Assessment

Stable Higgins’ snap share has trended upward, reaching 60.0% in Week 14 and Week 16, and he maintains a durable Verdict durability grade percentile of 88th percentile.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: TE4-TE6; Higgins must maintain his snap share and increase his efficiency to reach this range. Floor: TE9-TE10; Higgins’ trade value of 3,663 and Verdict grades suggest he is a valuable asset, and his floor is a lower-tier tight end role.
