COVID-19 has struck again but this time it was “in the favor” of the Cleveland Browns. James Bradberry went out of his way to see a chiropractor who tested positive and now will be out for their Week 15 game against the Browns, an offense that’s hitting on all cylinders.

Bradberry has been one of the best lockdown corners in the league so far this year and with him out of the lineup, Higgins will be playing up against a guy off the practice squad. It doesn’t get better than this for Higgins and the rest of the Browns’ passing attack.

Higgins has been one of the top waiver wire adds and is currently in one of the hottest offenses.

Rashard Higgins has scored more fantasy points (34.3) in his last two games than the following players:

Allen Robinson (33.3)

DeAndre Hopkins (33.3)

A.J. Brown (29.4)

Michael Thomas (27.4)

His production over the last few weeks has been no fluke. Higgins has scored a touchdown over the last two weeks and has added six receptions in each game. The Browns have also started talking to him about contract extensions due to the tick in production since becoming the WR 2 as OBJ went out. With the Giants down two cornerbacks, it makes this already juicy spot, even juicier. According to The Wolf’s Week 15 Rankings he’s WR40 on the week, so he’s considered a flex option.

More news just came in that Colt McCoy will be playing over Daniel Jones due to his ailments, so there’s a chance the Browns pile on even more points. Jarvis Landry, along with the rest of the Browns offense, now get an uptick as well.

Higgins is receiving the greenlight and is that guy for Baker Mayfield. Although it’s Week 15 and you’re in the midst of the playoffs, put some trust in Higgins and play him in the Flex. Trust the process. Go onward wolves, and play Rashard Higgins!
