Bengals WR Tee Higgins went off for 6 catches, 92 yards, and 2 TDs in Sunday’s close loss at Buffalo. Higgins was returning from a one-game absence (concussion).
2025 Fantasy Football Impact
Higgins caught three balls on Cincy’s first drive, and he was off to the races from there.
In the second, Higgins recorded his eighth TD of the season on a deep route vs. CB Maxwell Hairston. The WR made a nice midair adjustment, managing to track the ball and keep his feet in the snowy end zone for a 21-yard score.
Later, Higgins left the game briefly for a concussion check. But he soon returned to snag another TD, this time from 25 yards out. Higgins made a one-handed grab, overcoming physical coverage from CB Tre'Davious White.
And get this: Higgins’ huge day could have been even better. He dropped one gain of 20+ yards and found another deep target just barely overthrown by QB Joe Burrow.
Keep Higgins in fantasy lineups this week against a struggling Baltimore pass defense. The Ravens just allowed a huge 7-158 line to D.K. Metcalf.
Other Winners & Losers
Ja'Marr Chase was surprisingly quiet in this one, snagging only 5 passes for 44 yards. He lagged behind Higgins in target share (22% to 31%).
Of course, Chase remains a strong WR1. The biggest takeaway here is that Joe Burrow -- who threw for 284 yards and 4 TDs -- looks in excellent form.
