Secondary receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase with limited upside. The source states 'Generally speaking, I am not a huge Tee Higgins guy. I think Tee Higgins is fine' and notes that 'Ja'Marr Chase is going to be the alpha there and so much of the results that you were going to see for Tee Higgins are going to be how many touchdowns does he score because the yardage production, the raw catch production, the raw target production is just not going to be there the same way it is because he plays with Ja'Marr Chase.' While Joe Burrow has averaged 18 PPG in past seasons, Chase's alpha status severely constrains Higgins' ceiling.PositiveRoleNo date
Practiced in full on Friday after adductor injury; the source ranks him as a starter this week. While there is a chance he does not play full snaps coming back from injury, the full practice indicates he will play. With Higgins returning, Mike Gesicki will drop back to 35-40% of routes and Dante Myers will return to being a secondary option.NegativeInjuryNo date
Higgins suffered an adductor injury in the game against Jacksonville. Rashad White believes it will be harder for him to return next week compared to Chase's concussion, and anticipates Higgins will not play next week due to the injury.NegativeRoleNo date
Higgins averaged 14 fantasy points per game last year and is secondary to Jamar Chase in the Bengals offense; his fantasy ceiling is heavily dependent on touchdown scoring and Joe Burrow's health. He is the Robin to Chase's Batman in the offense.
