Higgins numbers are a little deceptive because he has only been a part of the offense for 7 games Opening day he only played 15 snaps on offense and had zero targets. Since then he has averaged 56 offensive snaps and 7.4 targets per game.
He has averaged about 70 yards per game other than opening day. Project that over 15 games and he will have over 1000 receiving yards.
That may not get him anywhere close to winning ROY, but it is a GREAT season for a second round rookie WR. Only 11 rookie WRs taken after the first round have had 1000 receiving yards. FYI Cris Collinsworth was the 4th to do it in 1981.
