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.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins hasn't looked the best throughout the first five weeks of the 2025 campaign. He has only 13 catches (27 targets) for 158 yards. Fortunately, the wideout has at least found the end zone twice, preventing him from being a complete bust for fantasy managers. In Higgins' defense, the Bengals offense has struggled, and it wasn't much better when Joe Burrow (toe) was healthy and on the field. With Joe Flacco, who was recently acquired in a trade with the Browns, getting the start for Sunday's meeting with the Packers, it's unknown how his presence will impact the offense. However, with only a few days to prepare, it's safe to assume Flacco's knowledge of the playbook will be limited. As such, Higgins may not be the safest fantasy option, especially with a challenging matchup on the horizon. On the other hand, that could change if Ja'Marr Chase (illness) suffers a setback and doesn't suit up.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy football through the early part of the 2025 season. He's managed just 10 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown on 20 targets, ranking 68th in target share (17.5%), 82nd in receiving yards, and 110th in receptions. Without Joe Burrow at quarterback, Higgins has struggled to command a consistent role in an offense that looks far less dynamic than it did in 2024. In Week 5, Higgins faces the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Detroit's defense has been steady, though they were exposed in Week 2 by Bears' WR Rome Odunze, who torched them for 100+ yards and two scores. Still, Higgins' involvement has been too shaky to trust. Given his lack of volume and inconsistent production, Higgins is a very risky play in Week 5.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins struggled through the first three weeks. The wideout has been targeted 14 times, catching seven passes for 104 yards and a touchdown. To be fair, the entire offense hasn't looked the best. He's also at least stayed healthy, which is a plus. However, Higgins' lack of production has certainly been disappointing for fantasy managers. With the Bengals coming off an ugly 48-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3, the team will look to get it together on Monday night versus the Broncos. Without question, Higgins has plenty of talent. Unfortunately, until the offense can get on track, Higgins will be hard to trust. Despite the obvious upside, he's a risky fantasy option in any format in Week 4.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins pulled in three of his four targets for 33 yards in the Week 1 win over the Browns. As expected, that performance didn't sit well with fantasy managers. In all fairness, the entire offense struggled in that one. While the wideout caught as many passes in Week 2 against Jacksonville, he totaled 56 yards. Even better, he scored a touchdown. Unfortunately, the Bengals will need to navigate their way forward without quarterback Joe Burrow (foot). In his place, Jake Browning will get the start. Naturally, many are concerned about how Burrow's absence will impact the offense. However, Higgins will need to piece together more than a few subpar showings with Browning under center before fantasy managers should consider benching him. For now, he's still a starting fantasy option, so managers in all formats can keep him rolling in Week 3 versus the Vikings.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught three of his four targets for 33 yards in the win over the Cleveland Browns. The wideout has been known to have some off weeks throughout his career. However, he wasn't the only one who struggled, with Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards. Teammate, Ja'Marr Chase, didn't play much better, with the former LSU Tiger amassing only two grabs. All things considered, the Bengals likely did some work during the week leading up to Sunday's clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, meaning there is a good chance the offense turns it around. While that doesn't mean Higgins will see the most attention from Burrow in Week 2, there's still reason to believe he'll perform at a higher level, considering Sunday's contest may be the highest-scoring game on the schedule.

Trainers were looking at Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins' left ankle during training camp practice on Thursday, according to Jeremy Rauch. Higgins got his leg tangled up during a play and was seen hobbling off the field. Higgins and the rest of Cincy's starters were already scheduled to be held out of the preseason finale on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old has a history of dealing with nagging injuries, so this isn't what fantasy managers want to see right before the start of the 2025 regular season. While it doesn't sound like Higgins' injury is serious, it's something to watch for heading into Week 1 of the regular season. Higgins only played in 12 games for the second straight year due to injuries in 2024, but he still managed 73 catches, 911 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns in Cincy's high-octane offense. He's on the WR1/2 borderline in fantasy.
