AFL FANTASY TAKE
Jack Higgins averaged 59.0pts from 10 games for the Tigers in 2020, he scored a season high 79pts against Collingwood in Round 2.
Higgins likely plays a similar role at the Saints roaming across half-forward applying pressure & up on to a wing when required, he was an elite fantasy scoring type player in his junior career.
It is likely Higgins remains a pass in AFL Fantasy classic, but if his midfield usage is set to increase then that may make him more of an attractive option but the price tag at Round 1 may be off putting.
Higgins is a sleeper in 10 team standard draft leagues, he could be a late round steal.
