Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) is still in the league's concussion protocol, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Higgins suffered a concussion late in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was ruled out on a short week in last Thursday night's Thanksgiving Day win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old is still in the concussion protocol, but that doesn't mean he won't be cleared later this week in order to play on Sunday, Dec. 7, versus the Buffalo Bills. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on Higgins' practice status from Wednesday through Friday. If Higgins is forced to miss a second straight game, both Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley will take on elevated roles in the passing game again behind target hog Ja'Marr Chase. Higgins has 40 receptions (70 targets) for 575 yards and seven touchdowns this year.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) has been ruled out for the Week 13 game this Thursday on Thanksgiving Day against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Higgins is in the league's concussion protocol after coming down hard on his head on the team's final drive of the game in Sunday's Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots, and on a short week, he will not have enough time to clear the protocol. It remains to be seen if the 26-year-old will gain clearance to play in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7. The good news for Cincy's offense is that quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is expected to play for the first time since Week 2, and they will also be getting top wideout Ja'Marr Chase back from a one-game suspension. With Higgins out, though, Andrei Iosivas will be in line for an expanded role for a second straight week.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Monday morning that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) is in the concussion protocol. Higgins went up for a one-on-one jump ball late in the game on Sunday, and when he landed on the ground, his head whiplashed backwards and smacked the ground. He was immediately taken out of the game and ruled out for concussion-like symptoms. Before being taken off the field, Higgins disappointed fantasy managers and only caught five of his six targets for 31 yards. Considering Ja'Marr Chase (suspended) was not playing due to his one-game suspension, Higgins was first in line for targets, and it was a tough day for him going up against a stiff New England defense. Higgins will now need medical clearance on Tuesday or Wednesday to play in Thursday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals (3-8) will look to play spoiler against the AFC North leaders, the Ravens (6-5).

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots. Higgins exited in the fourth quarter after his head hit the turf while attempting to catch a pass. He was taken to the locker room for evaluation and quickly ruled out. The 26-year-old finishes the game with six targets, five catches, and 31 receiving yards. Cincinnati finds itself very short-staffed on offense with Joe Burrow (foot) on IR, Ja'Marr Chase suspended, Tahj Brooks (concussion) ruled out, and now Higgins sidelined. Andrei Iosivas, Mitch Tinsley, and Charlie Jones will operate as the top wide receivers in Joe Flacco's offense for the remainder of Week 12.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has had a quality season. While the volume isn't always there, he's at least made up for it by finding the end zone seven times. Interestingly enough, he has scored at least once in all of the Bengals' home contests this season, with six of his seven touchdowns occurring in Cincinnati. With Paycor Stadium the site of Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots, it's widely expected that the wideout will be given plenty of chances to keep the streak going. That's even more true, considering Ja'Marr Chase will sit this one out due to suspension. Despite a challenging matchup on the horizon, most fantasy managers were already planning on starting Higgins in Week 12. However, his ceiling is much higher with Chase sidelined. It's logical to assume Higgins will be a focal point of the Pats defense. Still, he's talented enough to get open even if he sees expanded coverage, giving him the potential to finish the week as a top fantasy receiving option.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was relatively quiet to begin the 2025 campaign. Although he found the end zone in Week 2 against the Jaguars, he had only seven catches through the first three weeks. Since then, it's been a different story, with Higgins scoring at least once in four of his last five appearances. He's also seen an uptick in volume, combining for 14 receptions (21 targets) for 323 yards in the Bengals' previous three contests. It appears Joe Flacco (shoulder) will continue looking in his direction, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats for the potential high-scoring encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is coming off his best performance of the season. Higgins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Bengals are hopeful that the bye week hasn't cooled off Higgins. The 26-year-old has scored four touchdowns over his last three games. He'll head into a rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. A defense that he burned for 96 yards and a touchdown during their last meeting. Fantasy managers should expect another big performance out of Higgins this weekend.

Bengals' WR Tee Higgins scored an impressive 33.10 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Bears. Higgins caught seven passes for 121 yards with two touchdowns.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (head) cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins was shaken up on a play late in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, but he cleared the concussion protocol and should be just fine for a Week 11 divisional contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers after having the Week 10 bye to heal up. The 26-year-old had a massive game in Week 9, catching seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns, and he also secured a two-point conversion in the 47-42 loss to Chicago. His first touchdown of the day was a 44-yard bomb from quarterback Joe Flacco at the end of the first half, and his second score came from just two yards out in the third quarter. Despite Ja'Marr Chase soaking up a ton of targets, there's been enough to go around for Higgins, too. He has at least 62 receiving yards in three of his last four games and has four touchdowns in his last three games.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was a tough player to stop during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Higgins has been difficult to keep out of the end zone lately. On Sunday, Higgins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. The 26-year-old made easy work of the Bears' secondary, but sadly, the Bengals' defense wasn't able to hold up on their side. Regardless, Higgins has four touchdowns over his last three games and is showing no signs of slowing down. His next chance to do damage will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Bengals' WR Tee Higgins had 7 receptions for 121 yards with two touchdowns in Sunday's loss against the Bears.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he was held to just one catch in the disappointing one-point loss to the New York Jets in Week 8, the reception at least resulted in another trip to the end zone. With a touchdown in three of the Bengals' previous four outings, Higgins will look to stay relevant for fantasy managers versus the Chicago Bears. Granted, his lack of consistent volume from week-to-week is concerning. Joe Flacco (shoulder) appears to have the offense once again clicking on all cylinders, which is great news for fantasy participants. There's a chance Flacco may not be out there due to an AC joint sprain, meaning Jake Browning would be back under center. Still, regardless of who is starting, Higgins remains a risky, high-upside fantasy option, considering Sunday's contest between the Bears and Bengals is projected to be one of the highest-scoring games on the Week 9 schedule. Fortunately, Flacco is trending in a positive direction.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is coming off his best performance of the 2025 campaign, amassing six catches (10 targets) for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Ja'Marr Chase played better, Higgins still got things done for fantasy managers. With the Bengals one victory away from a .500 record, the club will take on the winless Jets in Week 8. New York's injury report is loaded heading into the contest. However, regarding the defensive side of the ball, Sauce Gardner (concussion) has already been ruled out. Of course, this is a tough blow for the Jets. Brandon Stephens will try to do most of the heavy lifting in the secondary. Unfortunately, that may not be enough, so it appears Higgins has a strong chance of having another potent fantasy outing on Sunday, making him a starting option in all formats.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old is enjoying some newfound success after struggling to form a rapport with Jake Browning earlier in the year. He has looked much better in two games with Joe Flacco as his quarterback, totaling 11 catches, 158 yards, and one touchdown during that span. Flacco appears poised to remain the Bengals' quarterback for the duration of Joe Burrow's (toe) absence, which is great news for Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, and their fantasy managers. Higgins will continue to operate behind Chase in the pecking order, but he still has standalone value as a low-end WR2 for Week 8 against the Jets.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins enters Week 7 looking to bounce back after a disappointing start to the 2025 season. Through six games, Higgins has managed 18 receptions for 220 yards and two touchdowns, a sharp decline from his breakout 2024 campaign. The Joe Burrow injury has taken a toll on the entire Bengals offense, but none more than Higgins, who has struggled to find consistent production without Burrow. However, there were signs of life in Week 6 with Joe Flacco under center, as Higgins recorded his season highs in receptions and receiving yards, potentially hinting at better days ahead. The Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is a favorable one, as they've allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers and have given up 15+ PPR points to Garrett Wilson, Justin Jefferson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba this season. Even with the improved quarterback play and friendly matchup, Higgins remains a risky WR3 in Week 7.
