Weekly Writeup
NOTE: These projections are based on the assumption that QB Joe Burrow (calf) plays on Monday night. Higgins had a resurgent Week 2 vs. the Ravens, logging 8 catches on 12 targets for 89 yards and a pair of TDs. He even leads the Bengals with a 28.6% target share this season. If Burrow is healthy, fantasy managers should feel good about Higgins as a solid mid-WR2.

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)

Joe Burrow, QB CIN

1:20pm EDT 9/18/23

Joe Burrow uncertain for Week 3

ESPN's Adam Schefter said it's "fair to wonder" if Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) will play vs. the Rams next Monday night. It wasn't an official report, but we doubt Schefter just pulled this out of thin air. We'll look for further updates on Burrow's status and track his practice participation throughout the week, but his fantasy owners should be lining up a backup plan for Week 3 (and maybe beyond). QB Jake Browning is Cincinnati's backup -- and would obviously be a huge downgrade for all Bengals skill-position players.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins racked up an 8-89-2 receiving line on a team-high 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. That marked a big rebound from his 0-catch opener. WRs Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase tied for second with 8 targets apiece. Boyd tallied 6 catches for 52 yards; Chase snagged 5 receptions for just 31 yards. The game marked significant improvement for the Cincinnati passing game over Week 1. But it'll need to rebound further to deliver on the draft positions of Burrow and his top WRs. Burrow's aggravation of his calf injury won't help. We'll see about his status heading into an upside Week 3 matchup with the Rams. After that comes non-scary spots against the Titans, Cardinals, and Seahawks -- ahead of a Week 7 bye.

Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase logged 5 catches on 9 targets for 39 receiving yards in Sunday’s 24-3 loss vs. the Browns. His teammate Tee Higgins recorded zero catches on 8 targets in Week 1. HC Zac Taylor spoke optimistically following the contest, saying, “This isn’t the team that we are going to be. We all understand that,” per The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. Fantasy managers looking to get more in Week 2 vs. the Ravens sure hope so. Chase came close to double-digit PPR points, but Higgins being completely shut out is the biggest concern. We’ll hold off on getting too worried, however. QB Joe Burrow struggled to hold onto the football due to wet conditions and eventually had to wear a glove on his hand. There are assuredly brighter days ahead for the Cincinnati offense.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is about as consistent as they come in fantasy football. He's hovered around a 20% target share and a 30% air yards share annually and has recorded three straight 900+ receiving yard seasons since 2020. Higgins has never finished outside the top 20 in Pro Football Focus receiving grade in any season among WRs who received 100+ targets in that span. He'll continue to play second fiddle to teammate Ja'Marr Chase, but Higgins is a reliable WR2 option for fantasy managers with occasional room to boom for more. Should Chase miss any time, Higgins has the upside to be a true WR1 in the Bengals' offense. In four games without Chase in 2022 between Week 8 and Week 13, Higgins ranked 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%), and 6th in receiving yards per game (92.8) among all WRs. See where we have Higgins in our current WR rankings.

Injuries limited Higgins again in 2022. But when healthy, he continued to flash an appealing WR1 ceiling. He's now hit 900 yards in each of his first three seasons. Higgins is scheduled for free agency next March.
