Bottom Line

There’s a solid case to be made that Higgins would be the WR1 on over a dozen other NFL teams’ depth charts.

Even though teammate Ja’Marr Chase steals a sizable amount of the spotlight in Cincinnati, Higgins is a player that can be counted on for reliable production and a 1,000-yard season annually when healthy.

Invest in Higgins as a “set-and-forget” WR2 in your fantasy lineups.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Higgins finished the 2022 season as the WR19 overall in PPR scoring with an average of 13.8 fantasy points per game.
  • Since entering the league in 2020, the former second-round pick has been a model of consistency:
    • 2020: 108 targets, 67 catches, 908 receiving yards, 6 TDs, 12.2 PPR points per game (WR28 overall)
    • 2021: 110 targets, 74 catches, 1,091 receiving yards, 6 TDs, 15.6 PPR points per game (WR24 overall)
    • 2022: 109 targets, 74 catches, 1,029 receiving yards, 7 TDs, 13.8 PPR points per game (WR19 overall)
  • Higgins has hovered around a 20% target share and a 30% air yards share on an annual basis.
  • He’s never finished outside the top 20 in Pro Football Focus receiving grade among WRs who received 100+ targets in a given season.
  • The only concern with Higgins is a recurring hamstring issue he’s dealt with since entering the league. It hasn’t caused him to miss significant time to date, but it significantly affected his weekly performances a year ago.
  • Higgins tallied three top-5 fantasy finishes, five top-24 weekly finishes, but had four games in which various injuries caused him to disappear and finish outside of the top 80 WRs.
What to Expect in 2023
  • He’ll continue to play second fiddle to teammate Ja’Marr Chase in the season ahead. This reality caps Higgins’ fantasy upside. He’s a reliable WR2 option for fantasy managers with occasional room to boom for more.
  • However, if the injury bug were to bite Chase for any reason, we’ve seen the former Clemson product step up and deliver WR1-level performances. Here’s how Higgins performed among all WRs in 4 games without Chase in 2022 between Week 8 and Week 13:
    • 11th overall in PPR (75.1)
    • 9th in PPR points per game (18.8)
    • 16th in target share (26.7%)
    • 3rd in air yards share (46.4%)
    • 6th in receiving yards per game (92.8)

Tee Higgins, WR CIN

Tee Higgins doesn't expect to be out long

Bengals WR Tee Higgins doesn't expect his rib fracture to cost him much time. "I plan to be back maybe this week, maybe next week," he told the media on Monday. “It’s painful, but we’ll be alright.” It's good news, but Higgins owners should at least plan on being without him for Week 5. It's worth noting that Cincinnati has a Week 7 bye, which might factor into Higgins' return timeline.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins suffered a rib fracture in Sunday's loss to the Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Could keep him off the field for a bit," Rapoport added. We should get a more concrete timeline for Higgins' return on Monday. His absence will elevate Tyler Boyd to the No. 2 spot on the WR depth chart, although it's tough to get excited about him as a fantasy option with the Bengals passing game scuffling.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini hears that there's "optimism" Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) will be able to play vs. the Rams tonight. He'll go through a workout this morning, per Russini, before a final decision is made. "Burrow is campaigning with the coaching staff and trainers to play, however his status is still uncertain," Russini adds. We'll keep you updated on the situation.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) is shaping up as a game-time decision for Monday night's game vs. the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He's been feeling progressively better as we've gone throughout the week," Rapoport says. "Took just a few snaps on Friday, a little bit more on Saturday ... If he plays, he's likely going to play in pain." Between the late kickoff and Burrow's struggles so far, he should be on fantasy benches this week. WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are worth keeping in starting lineups in most cases, although they'll move down the WR Rankings if QB Jake Browning ends up starting.
