Back for 'Roos match
MGeelong Cats
July 29, 2021
Higgins is listed in the initial lineup for Round 20 against North Melbourne.
ANALYSIS
Higgins overcame a knee injury ahead of his 250th AFL match, should he remain available by first bounce. He's put up some impressive numbers this season, with over 100 fantasy points in three of his last six games played.
Won't play in Round 19
MGeelong Cats
Knee
July 23, 2021
Higgins won't play in the Round 19 matchup against Richmond due to a knee injury, AFL Ratings reports.
ANALYSIS
Higgins totaled 20 disposals, eight marks, three tackles and two assists in the Round 18 win over Fremantle, but he apparently sustained an injury during the contest. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the Round 20 matchup against North Melbourne.
25 disposals, 7 marks v. Carlton
MGeelong Cats
July 10, 2021
Higgins racked up 25 disposals, seven marks, three tackles and a single goal and goal assist each Saturday as Geelong downed Carlton 70-44 at MCG.
ANALYSIS
Higgins put together his strongest showing since Round 11 on Saturday, pulling in a season-high for disposals and inside 50s (5), scoring just his third goal of the year and accounting for his fourth goal assist in as many appearances. The veteran midfielder / forward closes out Round 17 having manufactured his third-highest fantasy score of 2021 (102 points) versus Carlton, but still averaging an uninspiring 74.8 points a game.
Managed for Bulldogs clash
MGeelong Cats
Coach's Decision
June 17, 2021
Higgins is being managed for Round 14 against the Western Bulldogs.
ANALYSIS
Higgins is making way for Cameron Guthrie's return to the lineup after topping 100 fantasy points in two of his last three games. Seeing as Higgins barely reached 85 points when the Cats were healthier as a team, his value may not be so high after getting pulled from the team for a major game between the second and third-place teams.
Solid in win
MGeelong Cats
May 29, 2021
Higgins scored one behind to go with 24 disposals (15 kicks, nine handballs) in addition to making 11 marks and completing five tackles during Saturday's 61-51 win over Collingwood.
ANALYSIS
In what was a sloppy game, Higgins scored over 110 fantasy points for the second straight week. With injuries forcing some of the Cats' best players out of this game, Higgins was able to make an impact in possession when it wasn't a guarantee he could do that each week until the beginning of May. If he can throw in a few more goals, his possession stats are good enough to make him a mid-tier pickup until his value climbs even higher.
