All Underdog Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden insights about Tee Higgins
PositiveMatchupOct 30, 2026
Tee Higgins is ranked WR6 by Kyler Gordon but only WR10 in consensus rankings, offering value. He is on pace for over 1,600 total yards and is being utilized differently this season, lining up closer to the quarterback and not always at the boundary. He is now a full-field player with elite in-cut ability. Higgins dominates in the 10-19 yard intermediate range, with 42% of his targets coming in that bucket (previous season high was 30%). The Titans allow the fourth most production in the intermediate range, making Week 8 an ideal matchup. The Bengals have the easiest schedule for the rest of the season, and both Higgins and his teammate can finish as wide receiver ones.PositiveValueSep 25, 2026
Tee Higgins is a 'great buy low' candidate with a 25% target share and 105 air yards per game. Since 2023, when Joe Burrow is healthy, Higgins has performed as a WR15 based on WR10-level usage. The source notes his efficiency against two-high safety coverages is drastically lower than Ja'Marr Chase's, but his overall volume suggests positive regression is likely.NegativeUsageSep 18, 2026
Ranked as the WR19, Tee Higgins remains a volatile fantasy asset. Despite the inconsistency, he saw six targets in Week 1 with a massive 19.5 average depth of target, totaling 117 air yards, which the source highlights as a positive indicator for his ceiling.NegativeUsageSep 15, 2026
The source uses Tee Higgins as a comparison point for target distribution, noting that in Cincinnati, targets are spread among multiple players like Andre Iosivas and Mike Gesicki, contrasting this with the more funneled Carolina offense.PositiveProjectionSep 9, 2026
Ranked as the WR12, Higgins has a strong track record with Joe Burrow; in a 17-game stretch played together, he produced at a WR4 points-per-game level. While he can be volatile, he maintains high usage and possesses multi-touchdown upside.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
Tee Higgins is considered an awesome fourth-round pick. Despite being viewed by some as a touchdown-dependent sideline receiver, he has historically produced as a top-15 wide receiver when Joe Burrow is healthy, averaging over six catches and 76 yards per game in those conditions.NegativeValueAug 18, 2026
Tee Higgins is currently used as a benchmark for ranking comparisons, with Chris Olave now positioned ahead of him in Shane Steichen's wide receiver rankings.PositiveUsageJul 31, 2026
Potential beneficiary of Bengals' increased play-action usage under new offensive scheme; the source expects more deep shot opportunities as play-action creates single-high safety looks where Higgins and Jamar Chase split coverage, creating favorable matchups.PositiveValueJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins is being drafted as WR16 despite being WR4 in PPG when healthy with Joe Burrow for 17 games last year, and he has back-to-back seasons of 10+ touchdowns, making him a 'freaking layup' value pick.PositiveProjectionJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins was WR8 in his last four games and routinely a WR1, showing huge spike weeks driven by touchdowns. With Joe Burrow healthy for a full season, he has the most obvious contingent upside among WRs at his baseline projection.PositiveProjectionJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins was WR8 in his last four games of the season and routinely a WR1, with huge spike weeks driven by touchdowns in a Bengals offense projected for high scoring.PositiveValueJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins is the most drafted player so far and the top of the exposure list because he's easy to target at the 3-4 turn if you already have 1-2 running backs.PositiveBreakoutJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins has contingent upside that doesn't exist with other WRs at his ADP—if Ja'Marr Chase gets injured, Higgins would immediately rank as a top-5 wide receiver in projections.PositiveProjectionJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins scored 21 touchdowns in his last 27 games and plays in an offense that has been tied for 7th, tied for 2nd, and 1st in passing touchdowns (2021, 2022, 2024), providing consistent TD upside.PositiveValueJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins is being selected as WR16 in the third round, but he has superior touchdown upside compared to peers like Zay Flowers and Garrett Wilson, scoring 10+ touchdowns even in down years.PositiveValueApr 29, 2026
Described as one of the safest and highest upside picks available, functioning as an upside WR2 with Chase healthy and top-five potential if Chase misses time.PositiveProjectionApr 29, 2026
Ranked as WR13 with top-five upside if healthy alongside Chase and Burrow; finished WR11 PPG last year and WR7 over final eight games.NegativeInjuryNo date
Tee Higgins exited his recent game in the fourth quarter with a groin injury, putting his status for the upcoming week in doubt.NegativeMatchupNo date
Higgins is WR18 on WR25 usage but is the perfect B-tier player for this matchup against Jacksonville. Cincinnati has the highest neutral pass rate in the NFL at 65%, and Jacksonville allows the 11th most passing yards per game. The Bengals project for 27 points, and when they score 27+, Higgins performs well. Teams avoid running on Jacksonville due to their edge rushers, further supporting a pass-heavy environment. Aman Ross St. Brown views this as an excellent spot for Higgins.PositiveValueNo date
Tee Higgins is a high-value target in round four, with the source noting he averaged 15 full PPR points per game in 39 games with a healthy Joe Burrow since 2022; he possesses top-five upside if Ja'Marr Chase were to miss time and is expected to benefit from an increase in downfield passing routes in the Bengals' new under-center play-action scheme.
