True, he won't intentionally tank, no way. Playing not to get hurt though is a bit of a possibility.

I think some have PTSD from 2018 2020 when AJ Green was tagged and put up just 47-523-2 across 16 games.
But Green was 32 years old and hadn't played in 1.5 seasons going into 2020.

I think even if Higgins were to play a little more cautious this season to try to preserve his health, he should still be able to put up 700-800 yards.
And as much as some may not agree, that can be ok as the 2nd or 3rd option in a passing attack.
I'd hope that if that's his stat range though, we see a slot receiver and/or TE getting more targets and be more productive in turn.
