    "writeup": "Higgins scored eleven touchdowns on only 98 targets last season, third-most at the position, and that ratio does most of the work in both his 2025 line and his 2026 price. The spike pushed him 23 points past what his usage was worth, a 91st-percentile overshoot, on a modest 16.1 percent target share. The charting underneath is genuinely rough: 1.83 yards of average separation, last among the 79 qualifiers, with corners pressing him (bottom tenth in cushion) on a deep 13.5-yard aDOT, and a 60.2 percent catch rate to match. The market pays WR15 at a 37.8 ADP for that package while the consensus projection drops him to 186 points and WR20, so the premium over projection is purely a bet on touchdown persistence from the least-separation receiver in the sample. In his favor, Cincinnati's early implied totals rank fifth, the red-zone role produced double-digit scores, and 14.3 yards per reception says the deep wins are real when they come. Eleven scores on 59 catches is still a rate no projection carries forward, and the consensus number already reflects that discount.",
