| 0:00.0 | T Higgins is currently a mid round three pick around 30th overall. He is a top 12 wide receiver |
| 0:09.8 | around 12 or so in most places where you find 80p. Let's see what Jacob Gibbs in the |
| 0:13.9 | advanced metrics have to say about T Higgins. |
| 0:16.4 | Welcome to Fantasy Football today and five. We preview your profile, Bradley Jamal, Chase |
| 0:21.1 | on our Saturday edition. Today his teammate T Higgins. All right. We like T Higgins, Jacob. |
| 0:26.4 | Stayed out for me. You saw a lot of progress in your two. |
| 0:30.9 | Yeah. I got to you again. He was really, really impressive as a rookie. He was one of the |
| 0:34.6 | most efficient receivers in a stacked rookie receiver class. And I was even with just |
| 0:39.3 | horrible QB play as a rookie. It's always really exciting for him in your two and he did |
| 0:43.5 | not disappoint. He finished seventh in yards per out run and was second in explosive reception |

| 1:16.6 | Yeah. From week 11 on, Higgins yard per out run rate was 2.64 for the season only |
| 1:22.7 | Cooper Cup, Debo Sango, and Vante Adams had a higher rate. So that's really elite stuff |
| 1:28.1 | over the second half of the season for Higgins. His explosive reception rate was at 42% over |
| 1:33.0 | the final seven games earlier. I mentioned that a season long rate was the second highest |
| 1:37.5 | in the NFL. That was 26%. It was 42% to close the year out. And he also saw higher volume |
| 1:45.3 | and just out produce, Jamar Chase during the second half of the season, which wasn't just |
| 1:50.6 | an end of season thing, though. As we mentioned in Jamar's profile, on the year when both |
