Your circular logic is hilarious.
When you want to bash Higgins you say that total yards are what matter, but when you want to bash Boyd you claim that total yards are meaningless because "yards per target" is what really matters.
Last year Higgins put up #1 WR numbers (top 32) by whatever metric you want to use. He was 26th in receiving yards and 19th in receiving tds, and among the 59 WRs with at least 75 targets he was 19th in yards per reception and 27th in yards per target.
His numbers are even more impressive when you include the fact that he only had 35 yards in his first two games as he fought to work into the starting rotation and zero yards in his final game due to injury. If you project his other 13 games over a full season he would have had over 1100 receiving yards.
I am not placing Higgins among the elite WRs in the league, but he is a solid #1.
