Quick answer
BuyHiggins had 2 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB224 through 3 games. The running rank is LB224 through 3 games, from LB240. Don't treat that like a season finish. Only 7 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
