Tee Higgins Fantasy Stats

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (groin/neck) was held to just two receptions for 22 yards (11.0 yards per catch) on four targets in a 31-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. The receptions and yardage totals were both season lows for Higgins, but quarterback Joe Burrow also threw for a season-low 190 yards. Higgins is dealing with injuries to his groin and neck, and entered the game with a questionable tag after missing practice on Thursday and Friday before logging a full session on Friday. There were questions regarding whether or not Higgins would be on a snap count against the Dolphins, but he played 45 out of 64 offensive snaps for the Bengals (70.3%). Higgins was behind fellow wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (77) and tight end Erick All Jr. (25) in receiving yards on Sunday. However, Higgins leads Cincinnati in receiving yards with 423 and has recorded a touchdown in 2026. He will remain a must-start fantasy football wide receiver following the Bengals' Week 6 bye week.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (groin) is officially active on Sunday for the Week 5 game in Miami against the Dolphins, but the NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that he could have some snap-count limitations in the game. Both Higgins and star wideout Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) were questionable for this contest, but they will both be active. Higgins told Wolfe that he is good to go, but Wolfe was told that the Bengals will keep an eye on his snaps, and he will play mostly "meaningful plays" as he deals with a groin injury. The 27-year-old might not be on the field as much as his fantasy managers would like, but it does not mean that Higgins cannot put up meaningful numbers against the winless Dolphins in South Beach. Through four games so far in 2026, the former Pro Bowler has caught 25 passes for 401 yards and one touchdown. He went off in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, catching 11 of his 16 targets for 157 yards after Chase left with a concussion. Higgins is definitely more volatile this week, but he should be in most starting fantasy lineups now that he is officially active.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (groin, neck) is active for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Miami Dolphins, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Higgins opened the week trending in the wrong direction, as he missed back-to-back practices. However, he upgraded to a full participant on Friday, allowing him to enter the weekend listed as questionable. In the end, he will play against a very weak Dolphins team. The 27-year-old has been highly productive so far this season, ranking as the overall WR7 in PPR leagues with 25 catches, 401 yards, and one touchdown. Just last week, with teammate Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) exiting early, Higgins saw a whopping 16 targets. Much like Higgins, Chase has been cleared to play this week, leaving him as a WR1 while Higgins falls in the WR2 range for fantasy football.

The Cincinnati Bengals did not elevate any wide receivers from the practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Miami Dolphins, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.com. Given that teams often use practice squad elevations to provide depth and security when rostered players are at risk of missing a game, fantasy managers should feel encouraged about the statuses of Ja'Marr Chase (concussion), Tee Higgins (groin, neck), and Colbie Young (knee). Of course, the lack of an elevation does not necessarily guarantee those players will suit up, so managers should check for a status confirmation from the team 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday. With that being said, between Chase and Higgins both logging full practices on Friday and the Bengals opting not to add anyone at the position, we feel very optimistic about both receivers' outlooks for Week 5 against Miami. If they play, Chase is an undisputed WR1 in fantasy football while Higgins is a high-volume WR2 option.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was listed on the injury report this week with a groin injury and is questionable to play this weekend. Higgins did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday before logging a full practice on Friday. Full participation on Friday is a good sign for his availability, but he is not guaranteed to play. If he does play, Higgins will have a juicy matchup on the road against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins defense has been one of the most exploitable units this season and the Cincinnati offense can certainly take advantage of that. With fellow receiver Ja'Marr Chase listed as questionable with a concussion, Higgins could be in line for the WR1 role. The Bengals are heavy road favorites and quarterback Joe Burrow will likely pepper Higgins with targets if he's out there. Higgins should be viewed as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside if he suits up. Fantasy managers should be excited for the matchup, but have contingency plans in case Higgins sits out.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that "we'll see" with wide receiver Tee Higgins (groin, neck) in regards to his Week 5 status against the Miami Dolphins, according to The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. The good news is that Higgins was able to practice some on Friday, but he will be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. Fellow star wideout Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) is also questionable to play this weekend, so the Bengals could be without their two best receivers in South Beach. The 27-year-old Higgins is a must-start in all fantasy football leagues when he is active, even in the shadow of Chase. Through four games in 2026, Higgins has 25 receptions for 401 yards and one touchdown. Quarterback Joe Burrow's Week 5 value hinges on whether one or both of Higgins and Chase can play this weekend. If one or both of Higgins or Chase cannot play, Dohnte Meyers and Mitchell Tinsley could have massive roles alongside tight end Mike Gesicki. Hopefully, fantasy managers will have a better picture of Higgins' Week 5 status by Saturday evening.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (groin, neck) was working on the rehab field Thursday, according to ESPN's Ben Baby. Higgins wasn't dressed for regular practice, having already sat out Wednesday's session. He suffered an adductor injury late in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, finishing that game with 11 catches for 157 yards on 16 targets before leaving. There's still a chance he plays against Miami in Week 5, but he hasn't been able to get back into team drills yet. Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) was back in uniform Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice, although he still needs to clear concussion protocol. Higgins has 25 receptions for 401 yards and one touchdown through four games. Cincinnati has its bye next week, and Friday's practice should provide a better indication of whether Higgins will be available Sunday. UPDATE: Higgins was a non-participant for a second straight day on Thursday despite getting in work on a side rehab field.

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (groin, neck) did not practice on Wednesday, according to Jay Morrison of Sports Illustrated. A previous report on Wednesday suggested that Higgins would be limited at practice. Both Higgins and star wideout Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) missed the first practice of the week, and their statuses need to be followed closely over the next two days. Even if Chase is cleared of the concussion protocol later this week and suits up this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, Higgins will be a must-start in fantasy football lineups if he returns to practice and plays this weekend. Higgins has 25 catches for 401 yards and a touchdown on 39 targets through the first four weeks in 2026, including an 11-catch, 157-yard day in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars after Chase suffered a head injury. If both Higgins and Chase are unable to play against the Dolphins, Dohnte Meyers could be Cincy's No. 1 receiver, with tight end Mike Gesicki also having a larger target share.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (groin) will be limited in the team's practice on Wednesday, head coach Zac Taylor told The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. Higgins suffered an adductor injury in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but that did not stop him from having a big game, catching 11 of his 16 targets for 157 yards. It helped that star wideout Ja'Marr Chase left the game with a concussion, and with Chase up in the air to clear the league's concussion protocol this week, Higgins could have another monster game for fantasy managers in Week 5 on the road against the winless Miami Dolphins this Sunday if he gains clearance to play this weekend. With a limited showing on Wednesday, Higgins is in a good spot to be active against the Dolphins. Through four games to begin his seventh year in the NFL, Higgins has 25 catches on 39 targets for 401 yards and one touchdown. It has made him the WR8 in half-PPR formats, so Higgins should be locked into starting lineups this weekend, even if Chase clears the concussion protocol and plays.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (adductor) is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's loss to Jacksonville late in the fourth quarter. Head coach Zac Taylor told Paul Dehner on Monday that Higgins has not been ruled out for Week 5 and that the team will see where he is as the week goes on. Higgins tried to return for one play after the injury but could not continue. Before leaving, he had already put together his best game of the season, catching 11 passes for 157 yards on 16 targets. He now has 25 receptions for 401 yards and one touchdown through four games. Cincinnati visits Miami on Sunday before its Week 6 bye, so the next few practices should give a much better indication of whether Higgins can avoid missing time.
