I was hoping Higgins would be moved to RB before the season.

The problem I saw with this before the season was that Higgins had been, to date, one of the most Charmin Soft players to ever play for us. He forced an appalling 5 missed tackles on 45 catches last season. It's not clear in any case a big receiver necessarily has the between the tackles skill set and to go down at first contact almost every single time wasn't a good indicator. But Higgins has improved a lot in this regard this year, already breaking 12 tackles this year on 31 catches. The bigger issue I see is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Our WR corps is nowhere as good or as deep as we thought heading into the year given that the only WR who's played well is unavailable. I think I'd rather see Brendon Barrow at RB than Silas Starr at WR, so Higgins making the move would strike me as a mixed bag.
