Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Little usage behind McBride
Higgins reeled in 20 of 24 targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests in 2024.
Trey McBride dominated snaps (89.3 percent on offense) and targets (147) among Cardinals tight ends this season, but Higgins (38.0 percent) still had a consistent role in the offense, as did blocking specialist and rookie third-round pick Tip Reiman (41.2 percent, seven targets). A 2023 sixth-round pick of the Dolphins, Higgins has two years remaining on his rookie contract, but as long as McBride is around, he will find it difficult to make an impact in Arizona's offense.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Notches two catches Saturday
Higgins gathered in two of three targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 13-9 loss at the Rams.
The Cardinals deployed three tight ends, but Trey McBride continued to dominate snaps (73 of 79) and targets (16, which resulted in a 12-123-1 line) ahead of Higgins (22 and three, respectively) and Tip Reiman (24 and zero). Since the team's Week 11 bye, Higgins' snap share has ranged from 19 to 36 percent, but his cumulative 6-56-0 line on nine targets over the last six contests has left much to be desired. He'll look to put one last stamp on his second pro season in Week 18 against the 49ers.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Goes without target in Week 14
Higgins went without a target while playing 16 of the Cardinals' 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
Higgins looks to have dropped to third on the depth chart at tight end behind Trey McBride and Tip Reiman, both of whom have played more snaps than Higgins in each of the last three contests. Despite the downturn in playing time, Higgins had still remained involved in the passing game until Week 14. He had drawn at least one target in each of his last six appearances prior to Sunday.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Another two-target outing Sunday
Higgins gathered in one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.
On the other side of the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, Higgins extended his streak with exactly two targets to four games, but he brought in only one of them this time around. Working in an offense with TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 line on 15 targets Sunday) doesn't leave much volume behind for his position mates, and WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and RB James Conner typically are on the receiving end of most of QB Kyler Murray's other passes. Higgins' next chance to produce arrives this coming Sunday at Minnesota.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Another two-catch outing
Higgins hauled in both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-6 victory versus the Jets.
Higgins now has recorded exactly two catches in three consecutive games, resulting in a modest 6-60-0 line on six targets. In Week 10, he ranked third (49 percent) among Cardinals tight ends in snap share behind Trey McBride (71 percent) and blocking specialist Tip Reiman (59 percent). In an offense that focuses heavily on James Conner, Marvin Harrison and McBride, Higgins' value is firmly capped.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Notches two catches in Week 9
Higgins caught both of his targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 29-9 victory versus the Bears.
Higgins continues to be minimally involved as a pass catcher, with Sunday's season high in receiving yards fueled by a 23-yard catch that surpassed any of his single-game tallies from the first eight games of the campaign. However, during a contest in which Kyler Murray attempted only 20 passes, Higgins nearly matched No. 1 TE Trey McBride's 3-35-0 line. Aside from recording no targets in Week 6, Higgins has managed one or two receptions in each of his eight other outings, leaving him on the outside looking in to relevance in the Cardinals offense.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Zero targets Sunday
Higgins wasn't targeted and logged 18 of 58 offensive snaps during Sunday's 34-13 loss at Green Bay.
Higgins received a season-low snap share in Week 6, which may have been spurred by an offensive holding penalty in the red zone late in the first half. While he didn't have an official target in a game for the first time this season, a four-yard connection with Kyler Murray in the third quarter was negated by a penalty. Per usual, Trey McBride wasn't lacking in usage, gathering in all eight targets for 96 yards, and he remains atop the tight end depth chart. Higgins has two TDs on seven catches on the campaign, but he offers little else for fantasy GMs if the touchdowns dry up.

Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Scores TD on only target Sunday
Higgins caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown during Sunday's 24-23 win in San Francisco.
With the Cardinals' No. 1 tight end Trey McBride back in action after sitting out Week 4 due to a concussion, Higgins' snap share fell to 41 percent, but he took full advantage of his second red-zone target of the season, scoring touchdown No. 2 in 2024. McBride himself saw an 88 percent share and led the team with nine targets on his way to a 6-53-0 line.
