Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Blanks in Week 12
Higgins was not targeted while playing 27 of the Cardinals' 76 offensive snaps in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
The 25-year-old went without a target for the second time this season while operating as the primary backup to Trey McBride, who caught nine of 10 targets for 79 yards in the Week 12 loss. Higgins has now appeared in all 11 of Arizona's games this season, catching 16 of 20 targets for 162 yards. He's expected to contribute both offensively and on special teams in the Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Two grabs in loss
Higgins caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.
Higgins continued to operate as Arizona's No. 2 tight end behind Trey McBride, playing 28 of the Cardinals' 79 offensive snaps while McBride (70) continued to dominate as one of the team's top pass catchers. The 25-year-old Higgins is not seeing enough usage to be considered for fantasy purposes. Barring an injury to McBride, the Stanford product will remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Jaguars.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Records three receptions Monday
Higgins recorded three catches (on three targets) for 30 yards during Monday's 27-17 win in Dallas.
Working behind a top receiving tight end like Trey McBride doesn't leave much in terms of targets for Higgins, but the latter took advantage of his looks Monday en route to a season best in receptions. Furthermore, Higgins has settled into the No. 2 TE role over the last three games with Tip Reiman (ankle) out for the season, receiving 40 to 45 percent of the offense snaps during that span. Expect Higgins to hover in that range and get the 1.8 targets per game that come with it as long as McBride is available.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Two catches against Colts
Higgins caught both of his targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.
Higgins was targeted twice in a contest for the second straight week, although the third-year tight end was unable to get much going with his opportunities. The 24-year-old played 33 of the Cardinals' 73 offensive snaps, behind starting tight end Trey McBride (66). As long as McBride is healthy, Higgins remains far off the fantasy radar. Next up for the Cardinals is a Week 7 matchup against the Packers.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Held without catch in Week 4
Higgins went without a target while playing nine of the Cardinals' 67 snaps on offense in Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Seahawks.
After playing at least 30 percent of the offensive snaps in the first two contests of the season, Higgins has seen his role decline in the past two weeks. Tip Reiman handily out-snapped Higgins in the Week 3 loss to the 49ers, but both tight ends were on the field for fewer than 10 plays in Week 4 while the Cardinals made more use of three-receiver sets after trailing by double digits for much of the game. Since Reiman is regarded as the superior blocker of the two, expect him to be prioritized ahead of Higgins as the Cardinals' No. 2 tight end behind Trey McBride when Arizona follows more normal game scripts.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Records two catches in win
Higgins caught two of three targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.
Higgins played 22 of the Cardinals' 55 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter Trey McBride (50) and ahead of Travis Vokolek (18). Barring an injury to McBride, the 24-year-old tight end remains far off the fantasy radar due to his limited playing time. The Cardinals are set to visit the 49ers in Week 3.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Makes one catch in Week 1
Higgins corralled one of two targets for three yards and had a tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's 20-13 victory in New Orleans.
Higgins was third among Cardinals tight ends in offensive snap share (30 percent) behind standout Trey McBride (97 percent) and Tip Reiman (52 percent). All three recorded receptions, with McBride making six and Reiman and Higgins notching one apiece. Reiman showed up as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a foot injury, which, if it limits or sidelines him, may afford Higgins a few more opportunities to produce.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Little usage behind McBride
Higgins reeled in 20 of 24 targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests in 2024.
Trey McBride dominated snaps (89.3 percent on offense) and targets (147) among Cardinals tight ends this season, but Higgins (38.0 percent) still had a consistent role in the offense, as did blocking specialist and rookie third-round pick Tip Reiman (41.2 percent, seven targets). A 2023 sixth-round pick of the Dolphins, Higgins has two years remaining on his rookie contract, but as long as McBride is around, he will find it difficult to make an impact in Arizona's offense.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Notches two catches Saturday
Higgins gathered in two of three targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 13-9 loss at the Rams.
The Cardinals deployed three tight ends, but Trey McBride continued to dominate snaps (73 of 79) and targets (16, which resulted in a 12-123-1 line) ahead of Higgins (22 and three, respectively) and Tip Reiman (24 and zero). Since the team's Week 11 bye, Higgins' snap share has ranged from 19 to 36 percent, but his cumulative 6-56-0 line on nine targets over the last six contests has left much to be desired. He'll look to put one last stamp on his second pro season in Week 18 against the 49ers.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Goes without target in Week 14
Higgins went without a target while playing 16 of the Cardinals' 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
Higgins looks to have dropped to third on the depth chart at tight end behind Trey McBride and Tip Reiman, both of whom have played more snaps than Higgins in each of the last three contests. Despite the downturn in playing time, Higgins had still remained involved in the passing game until Week 14. He had drawn at least one target in each of his last six appearances prior to Sunday.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Another two-target outing Sunday
Higgins gathered in one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.
On the other side of the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, Higgins extended his streak with exactly two targets to four games, but he brought in only one of them this time around. Working in an offense with TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 line on 15 targets Sunday) doesn't leave much volume behind for his position mates, and WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and RB James Conner typically are on the receiving end of most of QB Kyler Murray's other passes. Higgins' next chance to produce arrives this coming Sunday at Minnesota.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Another two-catch outing
Higgins hauled in both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-6 victory versus the Jets.
Higgins now has recorded exactly two catches in three consecutive games, resulting in a modest 6-60-0 line on six targets. In Week 10, he ranked third (49 percent) among Cardinals tight ends in snap share behind Trey McBride (71 percent) and blocking specialist Tip Reiman (59 percent). In an offense that focuses heavily on James Conner, Marvin Harrison and McBride, Higgins' value is firmly capped.
