This week's outlook
Higgins is questionable, so confirm his status before game time. At $7,100, he's shown big-play upside with a 67-yard, 1-TD outing but was quieter in his lone other recent showing (3-59). If active, the matchup could support a solid day; a scratch would obviously end the discussion.
