AFL FANTASY TAKE
Shaun Higgins averaged 76.2pts from 17 games in 2020 at Nth Melbourne, he scored a season high 121pts against Richmond in Round 7.
Higgins will be used through the midfield at the Cats next season, he is also likely to be used at centre bounces.
Higgins has been a consistent fantasy scorer for most of his career, however he has never moved into the elite scoring group of midfielders.
At Geelong Higgins is an intriguing option in AFL Fantasy classic, it’s worth monitoring his role over the pre-season for any potential increase in his ceiling.
Higgins remains a solid mid round selection in 10 team standard draft leagues, he has been very durable over his career.
