Tee Higgins News
Tee Higgins

Bengals
Despite missing a practice this week due to a knee injury, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been cleared from the final Week 16 injury report and will play against the division-rival Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Higgins has missed several games this year due to injury, so fantasy managers may have been a bit worried when they saw him miss practice on Thursday. However, the 25-year-old was being rested more than anything and is fully expected to be fine this weekend as the Bengals look to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. When healthy in 2024, Higgins has been money for his fantasy managers, scoring six touchdowns in nine games played. He's no Ja'Marr Chase, but Higgins still has WR1 upside in fantasy for this week's matchup against Cleveland. In the first meeting against the Browns, Higgins caught four of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Tee Higgins Back At Practice Friday
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rest, knee) was seen practicing on Friday. He had been limited on Wednesday and absent on Thursday, so his presence to close out the week is a promising sign. According to ESPN's Ben Baby, Higgins was "working with trainers on the side, which has been the norm in recent weeks." It appears the 25-year-old receiver is trending toward playing against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, but we'll want to see the Bengals' final injury report before jumping to any conclusions. Higgins is a borderline must-start receiver if active; he is averaging 5.8 catches, 82 yards, and 0.8 touchdowns over his last four games. He ranks as a mid-to-low WR2 option this Sunday against Cleveland.

Tee Higgins Should Be On Track To Play On Sunday
Even though Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (knee) wasn't seen at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, he did participate in some side work. Higgins is expected to return to practice on Friday and should be on track to play on Sunday against the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 16. On the official injury report, he was limited on Wednesday and a non-participant on Thursday. Fantasy managers should be planning to start the 25-year-old in semifinal matchups this weekend. He played 86 percent of the snaps in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans and caught five of his eight targets for 88 yards and a touchdown. Despite being in the shadow of All-Pro wideout Ja'Marr Chase, Higgins has been a strong option for fantasy managers in 2024 when he's been on the field, scoring six touchdowns in nine games played. He has WR1 upside in Week 16 against Cleveland.

Tee Higgins Downgraded On Thursday
According to ESPN's Ben Baby, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rest, knee) is not practicing on Thursday. The news comes one day after the wideout was able to log a limited session. It's a concerning development for the 25-year-old, who picked up the issue in his team's win over the Tennessee Titans last Sunday. While he'll still get another chance to elevate his practice status on Friday, fantasy managers may want to prepare a contingency plan in case Higgins can't suit up for Week 16's bout with the visiting Cleveland Browns. If the Clemson product cannot play, fellow wideout Andre Iosivas would operate as the Bengals' de facto No. 2 WR with rookie Jermaine Burton working in behind him.

Tee Higgins Limited With Knee Injury
Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Tee Higgins (knee) and Charlie Jones (groin) were listed as limited in Wednesday's practice session. While Higgins is listed with a knee ailment, the Bengals are merely resting him late in the season after he's already miss a handful of games due to injury in 2024. Barring a setback later this week, the 25-year-old should be fine to play in Week 16 on Sunday against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. He missed three games due to a quadriceps injury in the middle of the season but has found the end zone in three of his last four games played, which includes 21 catches on 36 targets for 328 yards. Higgins doesn't have the consistent high fantasy ceiling that teammate Ja'Marr Chase has, but he's been extremely productive when healthy in 2024 and has WR1 upside against the Browns. In the first meeting against Cleveland, he went for four catches, 82 yards and a touchdown.

Tee Higgins Finds The End Zone On Sunday
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had five catches for 88 yards in Sunday's much-needed win over the Titans. He also scored, finding the end zone off of a 38-yard throw from Joe Burrow in the second quarter. The wideout was quiet in the Monday night win over the Cowboys. Fortunately, especially for those competing for a fantasy football title, he had a quality outing. With Cincinnati still in the hunt for a postseason berth, Higgins and the Bengals will host the Browns in Week 16, with the 25-year-old amassing four grabs for 82 yards and a touchdown when these teams met in October.

Tee Higgins Will Try To Bounce Back In Week 15
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has battled multiple injuries during the year. Still, he's as good as it gets when healthy. With the 25-year-old coming off a two-catch performance in the Monday night win over Dallas, he'll look to bounce back in Week 15 versus Tennessee. Granted, he isn't as productive as Ja'Marr Chase. However, Joe Burrow has heavily relied on Higgins during the 2024-25 campaign, so it shouldn't surprise fantasy managers if the former Clemson Tiger is the team's top pass-catcher against the Titans. Keep him starting in all fantasy formats.

Joe Burrow Confident Bengals Will Keep Tee Higgins
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow said after the Monday night win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14 that he is "confident we are going to do what it takes to get Tee Higgins back (in 2025)." Burrow also said he's willing to do what it takes to facilitate the team re-signing Higgins, who will become a free agent in March. Most folks fully expect Higgins to leave town and get out from under the shadow of All-Pro receiver Ja'Marr Chase, but it sounds like Burrow doesn't want to lose his No. 2 wideout. If Cincy is going to re-sign him, they'll need to shell out top dollar and outbid other receiver-needy teams in free agency. Higgins was quiet in Monday's win over Dallas with only two catches for 23 yards, but he entered the week with a three-game touchdown streak and 377 yards in his last four games. The 25-year-old has only played in eight games in 2024 due to injury, but he's been a must-start in fantasy when active.

Tee Higgins Quiet Amidst Teammate's Big Game
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught two of his five targets for 23 yards during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It was just the second time this season that Higgins, who appears destined for a split from the Bengals in free agency, had fewer than 12 points (PPR) in a single game. The 25-year-old continues to be overshadowed by Ja'Marr Chase, who turned in 14 catches for 177 yards and two touchdowns against Dallas. Higgins is the third playmaking option behind Chase and Chase Brown, and as a result, he'll continue to be ranked in the WR3/FLEX tier for Week 15.

Patriots Expected To Go All-In On Tee Higgins
The Athletic's Chad Graff writes that the New England Patriots are going to be all in on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, based on simply reading the tea leaves. The Patriots have shown interest in established pass-catchers before, and Higgins is going to be the best receiving free agent next March. Graff expects New England to offer Higgins a lot for his services, the only question is whether Higgins will want to come and play with young quarterback Drake Maye. Seeing the 25-year-old Higgins paired with an emerging Maye would make a lot of fantasy managers want to target the current Bengals receiver in fantasy drafts. The former second-rounder in 2020 out of Clemson already has two 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt and would have high-end WR1 upside if he leaves Ja'Marr Chase's shadow, but he's also an injury risk, having only played in seven games this year and 12 in 2023.
