Stroud<\/a>‘s favorite target, Nico Collins<\/a>, Higgins filled an important role in Houston’s passing game in 2025, catching 41 of 68 targets while also seeing his target share increase by 8.1 percentage points during Houston’s nine-game winning streak to close the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Houston Texans will enter the 2026 season without one of their top receivers.
