Rashard Higgins Fantasy

Wide receiver Rashard Higgins has signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers. The 27-year-old will likely slot in as the team's fourth receiver behind DJ Moore, Robby Anderson and Terrace Marshall Jr. "Hollywood" is no stranger to being a bit buried on the receiver depth chart as he played behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry during the bulk of his time with the Cleveland Browns over the past five years. Last year, Higgins caught 37 passes for a career-high 599 yards and four touchdowns.

The Cleveland Browns will not re-sign free-agent wide receiver Rashard Higgins, per Jeff Howe and Zac Jackson of The Athletic. The team could be facing some turnover at the wide receiver position. Beyond Odell Beckham Jr.'s departure, it now appears Jarvis Landry is quite unhappy and Higgins will be gone, too. The latter appeared in 15 games this past season, catching 24 passes for 275 yards and one touchdown. Presumably, interested teams would view him as a steady No. 3 wide receiver. Meanwhile, his absence would leave Donovan Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz as the main depth options behind Landry.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins could be in line for a larger role in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Browns are likely to be extremely short-handed on offense with COVID-19 ripping through the organization over the past week. Among the players affected are quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum, and wide receiver Jarvis Landry. Higgins has not been active over Cleveland's past two games but he should be back as the team's No. 2 wideout against Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon. Even with an expected increased role, Higgins isn't exactly a very inspiring fantasy option. He settles in as a WR5 for Week 15.
