For wide receiver, that number was $19.7m in 2023, which would currently be 15th among WRs this year.

That number actually feels fair for Higgins, if I'm being honest.

Higgins was 19th in receiving yards last year among WRs.
He was 15th among WRs the year before.

Unless there's a lengthy injury for Chase, I don't see Higgins ever getting (consistently) into the Top 10.
There just won't be enough targets to go around.
