Tee Higgins Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins finished with only three catches for 44 yards during the win over the Lions. The sophomore wideout played second fiddle once again to Ja'Marr Chase, who finished with four catches for 97 yards. Higgins missed a few weeks because of a shoulder injury. However, after scoring two touchdowns before going down with the ailment, he hasn't looked the same since his return. He will likely bounce out of his funk at some point moving forward, although he remains a risky option in 8-10 team formats, at least until he demonstrates that he can turn things around.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins returned for the Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, finishing with five catches for 32 yards. He was targeted by Joe Burrow seven times during the loss, finishing behind the red-hot Ja'Marr Chase, who had 10. His most significant contribution came late in the fourth quarter when he successfully hauled in a catch for a two-point conversation to eventually take this one to overtime. Higgins missed his previous two games because of a shoulder issue, so hopefully, any residual rust will dissipate ahead of the Week 6 showdown against the winless Detroit Lions. Nonetheless, despite his inefficient showing on Sunday, he should remain classified as a must-start in nearly all fantasy setups for the foreseeable future.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) has looked great in practice all week and will play in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins has been limited in practice all week and will return after a two-game absence. Despite the addition of first-round rookie pass-catcher Ja'Marr Chase, Higgins had 10 receptions on 15 targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games before getting injured. The 22-year-old won't keep up that kind of production all year long in an offense with plenty of weapons, but the Bengals are also one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the league. There may be a little rust this weekend, but Higgins should at least be considered a WR3/flex for fantasy managers.
