• Bengals' Tee Higgins: Scores 38-yard TD in Week 15 win

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Higgins caught five of eight targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans. Higgins caught a 38-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to break a 14-14 tie, and the Bengals led the rest of the way. He trailed only Ja'Marr Chase in targets, catches and receiving yards, finishing six yards shy of Chase's team-leading total. Higgins has at least 77 receiving yards in five of his last seven appearances and six touchdowns over that span, so he's been excellent when available. That production included 82 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Browns, whom Higgins will face again Week 16.

• Bengals' Tee Higgins: Takes back seat to Chase

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Higgins was held to two receptions (on five targets) for 23 yards in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys. Higgins was overshadowed by superstar Ja'Marr Chase's standout performance (14-177-2), resulting in paltry fantasy numbers for Higgins managers Monday and his lowest catch total of the season. This isn't the first time this has happened, and it likely won't be the last, but fantasy GMs must keep faith in the talented No. 2 option for Cincinnati. Higgins could be in store for a bounce-back performance against the lowly Titans on Sunday.

• Bengals' Tee Higgins: WRs to Start

  20D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Higgins returned from his three-game absence with a quad injury with a monster performance in Week 11 at the Chargers with 29.8 PPR points. He has now scored at least 14.7 PPR points in four games in a row, and he has at least seven targets in each game over that span. The matchup with the Steelers is tough since Pittsburgh is No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, but I don't expect this defense to slow down Higgins or Ja'Marr Chase. And Higgins has scored at least 23.4 PPR points in three of his past four meetings with Pittsburgh, so he's familiar with doing damage against Mike Tomlin's defense.

• Bengals' Tee Higgins: Cleared to face Chargers

  11/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Higgins (quadricep) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Higgins, who last saw game action Week 7, was limited at practice this week, but after head coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that he expected the wideout to play this weekend, the team's final injury report cemented that outcome. Prior to sustaining his quad injury, Higgins had recorded a 29-341-3 line on 45 targets through five games, and in his looming return Higgins is poised to reclaim his key role in the Bengals passing offense while working alongside fellow starting wideout Ja'Marr Chase, a context that puts him back on the fantasy lineup radar Week 11.

• Bengals' Tee Higgins: Listed as limited participant

  11/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Higgins (quadricep) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The limited listing is a bit of a surprise after head coach Zac Taylor said earlier Wednesday that Higgins would participate only in the walk-through portion of practice. Taylor also said the wideout has taken "steps in the right direction" toward a possible return this Sunday against the Chargers, after Higgins missed each of the past three games. The wideout will likely need to upgrade to full participation in practice by Friday for fantasy managers to feel good about his chances of playing Sunday and handling something close to a full snap load.
