Higgins was the biggest beneficiary of the Bengals' second-half offensive adjustment to shotgun-heavy play-calling. After being shut out in the first half, Higgins exploded for 6 receptions, 148 receiving yards, and a touchdown in the second half that gave Cincinnati their first lead of the game. The source attributes this production surge directly to Joe Burrow's ability to operate almost exclusively from shotgun during the second half, which generated five straight touchdown drives.

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.

PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026RotoWire
Bold prediction for Week 8: Tee Higgins to score touchdowns and post a top-5 WR week vs. Tennessee. Higgins is having the best season of his career and is WR9 in points per game this year with only two touchdowns, suggesting massive spike week potential. He was phenomenal last week with every target gaining 10+ yards, functioning as an explosive play machine. Higgins is averaging 2.8 yards per route run (elite efficiency) with a target per route run rate about as high as it's ever been. The source identifies Higgins as the biggest beneficiary of Bengals offensive adjustments, particularly on play-action and over-the-middle throws. Tennessee has the fifth-highest catchable target rate allowed on first-and-free throws this year, creating a soft matchup. The source also notes Higgins continues to be undervalued in redrafts and trade discussions despite elite production, with the source including him in trade targets.

PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026Yahoo Fantasy Football
Higgins has 69.5 projected receiving yards in Week 8 against Tennessee and is on pace for 1,618 receiving yards. This month, he's the WR5 on WR16 usage with the best tape of his career, operating as a real deal No. 1 target on intermediate breaking routes and signature catch-point moments near the sideline. He was outstanding against the Ravens' loaded secondary last week, finishing as WR2 overall with 148 yards. His film shows a 3rd-and-3 slant win against press coverage, stacking Nate Wiggins on a go ball up the sideline, stealing a dig route against a zone LB, and scoring from the No. 3 spot in a trips set on a skinny post against Kyle Hamilton (positioned there just 14 times in his NFL career and first time this season). Cincinnati leads the entire NFL with a 65% neutral pass rate (first) and in success rate on throws of 10+ air yards, with the easiest remaining schedule by far.

Joe Burrow pushes back on the notion that Tee Higgins is having a productive season because defenses are keying in on Ja’Marr Chase: "That’s too simplified. Tee is having a lot of production because Tee is a great player." (h/t @​CBoxSports)

Higgins was out there for every Cincinnati dropback against Baltimore, and his targets came an average of 20.3 yards downfield. Digs and slants make up 28% of his routes—fifth among 88 qualified receivers—although he has motion at the snap on only 5%. He has been targeted on 33% of his in-breaking routes, which are fantasy football gold. Receiver Score has him as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside most weeks and ranks him above Garrett Wilson and Tetairoa McMillan for potential upgrades.
