Wide Receiver Rank: #90
Overall: #265
Higgins had a great finish to '08, scoring touchdowns in each of his last three games. He had 12 receptions for 174 yards and three touchdowns during that three-game span. Higgins finished with career highs across the board (receptions, yards and touchdowns). He should at least be the No. 3 receiver for the Raiders this season. Higgins is a big-play receiver. He averaged nearly 17 yards per catch last season. Higgins can really stretch the field with his top speed.

Higgins could double last season's total in an expanded role. He is a big-play threat, but he will disappear some weeks because he isn't much of a possession receiver. Higgins might be worth taking a flyer on as a reserve fantasy receiver. |
