Higgins (quadricep) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
With Higgins logging his third straight absence, Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas are in line to continue to lead a Bengals wideout corps Week 10 that also includes Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin, while tight end Mike Gesicki should maintain a high-profile role in the team's passing offense after having been targeted 14 times over the past two contests with Higgins sidelined. Higgins' next chance to suit up will arrive Sunday, Nov. 17 against the Chargers.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Not in line to play Thursday
Rotowire
Higgins (quad) is not slated to play Thursday night against the Ravens, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Higgins, who has missed the Bengals' last two games, approached the contest listed as doubtful, and per Wolfe he's poised to miss another one. Official confirmation of the receiver's Week 10 status will arrive once Cincinnati's inactives are posted ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but in Higgins' anticipated absence, Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas are in line to lead the team's wideout corps versus Baltimore.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Doubtful for Thursday
Rotowire
Higgins (quadricep) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ravens.
Higgins, who missed the Bengals' last two games, is thus trending toward a third straight absence, with his Week 10 status to be officially confirmed when Cincinnati posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. With Higgins expected to be out of the mix, Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas are in line to lead Cincinnati's wideout corps, while tight end Mike Gesicki should remain busy after having been targeted 14 times over the past two contests.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Sidelined for another practice
Rotowire
Higgins (quadricep) is listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Higgins has yet to log any reps since injuring his quad in an Oct. 25 practice, and he appears to be trending toward missing a third straight game Thursday in Baltimore. The Bengals will see if Higgins is able to do anything Wednesday in what will likely be a light walk-through session before determining his availability for the Week 10 contest. Tight end Mike Gesicki has been the main beneficiary of Higgins' absence in the last two games as well as in Weeks 1 and 2, when the receiver was sidelined with a hamstring injury. In those four contests, Gesicki has produced a 22-282-2 receiving line on 27 targets.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Rotowire
Higgins (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Higgins has missed the Bengals' last two games after injuring his quad in practice 11 days ago. He's yet to practice since the injury, and the Bengals now have a short week ahead of a Thursday night contest against the division rival Ravens. Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin will continue to fill snaps alongside Ja'Marr Chase if Higgins is unable to play versus Baltimore.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Missing second straight contest
Rotowire
Higgins (quadricep) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Higgins carried a doubtful designation into Sunday, so his inclusion on the inactive list for the second game in a row comes as no surprise. The wideout didn't practice in any fashion this week, so he could face an uphill battle to make it back in action for the Bengals' Thursday night matchup with the Ravens in Week 10.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire
Higgins (quad) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com and Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer report.
Higgins, who has been unable to practice this week, thus is trending toward a second straight absence. If he's indeed out this weekend, WRs Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin should have added Week 9 opportunities working alongside Ja'Marr Chase (who logged 11 targets in Higgins' absence last Sunday) and Andrei Iosivas, with TE Mike Gesicki (eight targets Week 8) also a candidate to remain busy versus Las Vegas.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Not seen at Friday's practice
Rotowire
Higgins (quad) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
With Higgins also having missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices, his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders looks cloudy. The Bengals' upcoming injury report will reveal whether Higgins has any chance of playing this weekend, but if he remains sidelined versus Las Vegas, added Week 9 snaps would be available for Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Limited to side work
Rotowire
Higgins (quadricep) didn't practice Wednesday, instead working on a side field with trainers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
The injury doesn't seem too serious, considering Higgins is working on a side field five days after injuring his quad during practice. He has a lengthy history of hamstring injuries, however, which may prompt the Bengals to proceed cautiously with him. Higgins missed Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Eagles and now appears uncertain to play this coming Sunday against the Raiders.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Not slated to play Sunday
Rotowire
Higgins (quadricep) remains listed as questionable but is not in line to play Sunday against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Higgins' status will be officially confirmed once the Bengals' inactive list is posted 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. In Higgins' looming absence, Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin are candidates to see increased snaps behind No. 1 wideout Ja'Marr Chase.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: May be trending toward sitting
Rotowire
Higgins (quadricep) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but his chances of playing don't appear to be promising, a source tells Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports echoes Conway's report, noting that Higgins faces an uphill battle to play Sunday after injuring his quad in Friday's practice. Higgins' Week 8 status will be confirmed either way once the Bengals post their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton and Trenton Irwin could all be in store for increased snaps behind No. 1 wideout Ja'Marr Chase if Higgins is inactive for the contest.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Still has hope to play Sunday
Rotowire
Higgins (quadricep) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but he showed improvement Saturday, and the Bengals are "hopeful" that the wideout will be able to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
A report earlier Saturday indicated that Higgins will be a game-time decision Sunday, and while that appears to still be the case, Fowler's report is more optimistic about the receiver's chances of suiting up. The Bengals don't want to risk a long-term injury to Higgins, so it's likely that they'll allow him to play only if he looks good during pregame warmups. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for Cincinnati's inactive list, which will be released about 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Big performance against Browns
Rotowire
Higgins recorded four catches on eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns.
With opposing defenses focused on holding Ja'Marr Chase in check, Higgins has taken on significant target volume since getting fully healthy. Across his last four games, he's commanded 39 total targets while seeing no fewer than seven in any contest. Higgins made the most of his chances in Sunday's win, highlighted by a 25-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter as well as other long receptions of 21, 19, and 17 yards. While he has yet to top 100 yards in a game for the campaign, Higgins does have at least 75 in each of his last three contests while recording three scores.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Higgins looked dominant in Week 5 against Baltimore, and it's time for him to be started in all leagues without question. He had nine catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets against the Ravens, and this is now consecutive games with double digits in targets from Joe Burrow. The Giants will struggle to contain Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins in this matchup, and Higgins has top-15 upside in all leagues for Week 6.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Higgins got on track in Week 4 at Carolina with six catches for 60 yards on 10 targets, and 12 PPR points will hopefully be his floor moving forward. He has a great history against the Ravens with two games of at least 28 PPR points in his past four meetings, and Baltimore has already allowed five receivers to score at least 13.2 PPR points this season. Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins should both have dominant performances in this matchup, which is projected to be the highest-scoring game of the week at 50.5 points.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Earns 10 targets
Rotowire
Higgins recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers.
Higgins has commanded 16 targets through two games this season, though he's yet to turn that into standout performances. He was effective for the Bengals on Sunday by tallying four catches of 10 or more yards, though his longest gain was only 12 yards. Higgins has traditionally been a deep threat in the Cincinnati offense, so his production should tick up in the coming weeks.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Cleared to play Monday
Rotowire
Head coach Zac Taylor said Saturday that Higgins (hamstring) will be available for Monday's contest against the Commanders, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Higgins closed Week 3 prep as a full practice participant Saturday and won't take an injury designation into Monday's game for what will be his season debut. Based on Taylor's comments, Higgins doesn't sound like he'll be limited Monday in any capacity, though it also doesn't benefit the coach to reveal home much playing time the receiver will get in the primetime contest.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Making progress
Rotowire
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Higgins (hamstring) is moving in a positive direction for Week 3 and could benefit from the extra day of rest to prepare for Monday Night Football versus the Commanders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Higgins has missed two consecutive games due to a lingering hamstring injury, and his last practice session was Thursday of Week 1. Andrei Iosivas scored twice Week 2 in Higgins' absence and has emerged as an option in the Bengals' receiving corps behind Ja'Marr Chase. The Bengals' first official injury report of Week 3 won't arrive until Thursday, so fantasy managers aren't guaranteed another update on Higgins' health until then.

Per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Taylor labeled Higgins as day-to-day as Sunday's game against the Chiefs approaches. A clearer picture of Higgins' availability for the Week 2 contest should arrive based on the extent of his participation in practices Wednesday through Friday.

Bengals' Tee Higgins: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Higgins (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
After being added to the Bengals' injury report Thursday as limited with a hamstring issue, Higgins didn't practice Friday and was deemed doubtful for Sunday's contest. With Higgins unavailable, some combination of Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin, Charlie Jones and Jermaine Burton are positioned to see added work versus New England alongside Ja'Marr Chase (illness), who is listed as active, but figures to have his Week 1 workload somewhat limited. Higgins will target a potential return to action Sept. 15 against the Chiefs.
