Baker does have it good right now. He has good blocking, a very good run game and a solid defense which is the most proven winning formula there is. With or without OBJ he is fine, but he did play better when OBJ went down. The diva issue is a real thing, imo.
Back on topic. Higgins will be elite if he's given the chance to be. Only Amari Cooper and Justin Jefferson had over 1000 yards their rookie seasons since 2005. Higgins had 903 or something and was really hitting his stride when Burrow went down. In fact he could've taken more of AJ's targets all season and I would've been happy. If Burrow didnt get crushed so often early, and eventually hurt, I think Higgins could've been more like a 1200 yard guy in his rookie year easy.
Edit: And I love Chase, but Higgins and Boyd are why I dont think we need a top 5 WR with so many questions marks on the OL. At least we have 2 WR's of that caliber already. Cant really say that for any other position right now.
