Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) is currently considered as day-to-day, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins suffered a quad injury late last week and was unable to suit up for the Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It doesn't sound like the Bengals consider this to be a long term issue. Higgins reportedly is already feeling better which is good news ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers can be hopeful to get Higgins back in their lineups this weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quadricep) is inactive for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins was a late addition to the injury report on Friday and ended up entering this weekend listed as questionable. While he had optimism about his status, the Bengals decided to make him inactive following pregame warmups. Ja'Marr Chase will continue to lead this receiving corps Sunday while Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton, and Trenton Irwin should all see increased opportunities in their complementary roles.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) remains uncertain heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins suffered a quad injury on Friday and now faces an uphill battle to suit up this weekend. The Bengals are likely going to wait and see how Higgins feels during warmups before making a final decision. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bengals let Higgins rest as they don't want this to turn into a long term issue. If he sits, Andrei Iosivas would move into the No. 2 role for this offense and become a possible flex option for Week 8.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was "feeling better" on Saturday. However, while the Bengals hope he can get on the field versus the Philadelphia Eagles, the team will play it safe by keeping him out if necessary. Higgins has been on a roll of late, scoring three touchdowns in the last three weeks, so his absence would be a tough blow for a club looking to get to .500. With that said, if the wideout doesn't play, Andrei Iosivas would immediately enter the flex conversation.

According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's outing against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins picked up a quad injury in Friday's practice, and per Graziano, there's "pessimism" around his status for the team's Week 8 matchup. Reportedly, Cincinnati will push it right until game time to give him a designation. Fantasy managers will want to have a contingency plan in place in case he can't suit up. Fortunately, the Bengals and Eagles square off in Sunday's main slate of games, so we'll know early on whether or not he's a go. If Higgins can't play, wide receiver Andrei Iosivas will slot in for two wide-receiver sets, while rookie wideout Jermaine Burton should slide in as the team's third option. Keep an eye on the 25-year-old's status.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) is considered questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins was fine throughout the week, but must've suffered a quad injury in practice. This puts Higgins is serious danger of missing Sunday's game considering it's already Friday. If he sits, Andrei Iosivas would shift into the No. 2 role while rookie Jermaine Burton would become the third wideout. Iosivas has been quiet throughout most of the season, but the absence of Higgins would give him some streaming appeal. Also, Ja'Marr Chase would likely become even more important to this offense, so his value would see an uptick as well.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught four of his eight targets for 82 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns. He also scored a touchdown, finding the end zone off a 25-yard throw from Joe Burrow in the third quarter. The wideout has looked great since returning from the hamstring injury that kept him off the field for the first two games of the 2024-25 campaign. But he's looked even better of late, scoring three times in the Bengals' previous three contests. Fantasy managers should keep him rolling for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Oct 20, 2024 9:40 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins missed the first two games of the 2024-25 campaign. He returned for the Week 3 matchup with the Commanders, although he had just three catches. Since then, the wideout has received routine attention from Joe Burrow, amassing at least six receptions in each of his last three games. He also found the end zone twice in the Week 5 loss to the Ravens. With the Browns on tap for Week 7, Higgins and company will look to pick up their second consecutive win. While Higgins hasn't played the greatest versus Cleveland over the years, the Browns defense has struggled against opposing receivers this season, making him a must-start in any fantasy setup.
Oct 18, 2024 11:15 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught all seven targets for 77 yards in Sunday's win over the Giants. The wideout had two touchdowns in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens. While he didn't find the end zone in this one, he still had a solid showing for fantasy managers. Higgins looks far removed from the hamstring injury that kept him out of the lineup to begin the year. However, he has looked good in the last two games. Keep him going for Week 7 against the Browns.
Oct 14, 2024 11:27 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins missed the first two games of the 2024-25 campaign due to injury. He was quiet in Weeks 3 and 4. However, the wideout had a stellar showing in the Week 5 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, finishing with nine catches (14 targets) for 83 yards and two touchdowns. While Ja'Marr Chase is the top target for Joe Burrow, Higgins is still one of the best wide receivers in the National Football League. Keep him starting in Week 6 versus the New York Giants.
Oct 11, 2024 10:32 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins finished Sunday's loss to the Ravens by catching nine of his 14 targets for 83 yards. Even better, he found the end zone twice. After missing a few games to begin the year followed up by a few subpar showings in the Bengals' last two contests, the wideout looked fantastic in this one. While some fantasy managers lost Patience, they'll need to reconsider their stance for the Bengals Week 6 showdown with the New York Giants.
Oct 6, 2024 10:41 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins made his 2024-25 debut versus the Commanders by catching three passes for 39 yards. Fantasy managers were still expecting more despite the wideout missing the first two games because of a hamstring injury. However, he played better in the Week 4 win over the Panthers, amassing six grabs (10 targets) for 60 yards. Cincinnati will meet Baltimore in Week 5 for an AFC North showdown. While Higgins remains a risky option for managers, his upside makes him worthy of a start in any format.
Oct 5, 2024 12:32 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had 60 yards off a team-high six catches in Sunday's win over the Panthers. The wideout returned from a two-game absence for the Week 3 loss to the Commanders. However, he had only three receptions in that one. But with 10 targets in Week 4, it appears Higgins still has the attention of Joe Burrow, making him worthy of a starting spot in all fantasy formats when the Bengals meet the Ravens in Week 5.
Sep 29, 2024 8:40 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins made his 2024-25 debut against the Commanders after missing the first two contests because of a hamstring injury. It wasn't a horrible showing, with the 2020 No. 33 overall pick catching three of his six targets for 39 yards. While Andrei Iosivas continues to look better each week, Higgins was still on the field more. With that said, Higgins remains a starting fantasy option in all formats versus a weak Panthers defense in Week 4. However, the wideout will need to play better or fantasy managers will consider benching him when the Bengals meet the Ravens in Week 5.
Sep 28, 2024 11:22 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) made his 2024-25 debut on Monday night versus the Commanders. The wideout missed the team's first two games because of a hamstring injury. Unfortunately, his presence didn't help, with the Bengals remaining without a win after three weeks. Higgins didn't look horrible on Monday night, catching three passes (six targets) for 39 yards. Understandably, fantasy managers were still hoping for more. But Higgins has a favorable matchup against the Panthers on the horizon in Week 4, so he warrants a spot in the starting lineup in any fantasy format.
Sep 23, 2024 11:20 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed on Saturday that wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is good to go to make his 2024 debut in Week 3 on Monday night against the Washington Commanders. Higgins injured his hamstring in practice in the lead-up to the season-opener against the New England Patriots and was forced to sit the first two weeks. The 25-year-old is now recovered, though, and it doesn't sound like he'll be limited at all in his return to the lineup. It's bad news for any fantasy managers that were planning to start wideout Andrei Iosivas as a flex or tight end Mike Gesicki as a TE sleeper. In terms of Higgins' fantasy value, it's fair to temper expectations in his first game while coming off an injury, but he should at least garner WR4/flex attention against a Commanders defense that has allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to receivers through the first two weeks.
Sep 21, 2024 1:04 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) plans to play against the Washington Commanders on Monday night. The wideout has battled a hamstring injury, keeping him off the field for the Bengals' previous two contests. Fortunately, he's feeling better. "I feel great," said Higgins after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. "Obviously, unfortunate with the injury, sat out the first two weeks but finally ready to get my feet wet this season and ready to go." Under normal circumstances, Higgins is a starting fantasy receiver in any format. However, there's a chance he could see fewer snaps than usual. As a result, Andrei Iosivas, coming off a two-touchdown outing versus the Kansas City Chiefs, could remain involved. Still, Iosivas' fantasy outlook would have been more promising had Higgins been in line to miss Monday's contest. On the other hand, Higgins' anticipated return is good news for Joe Burrow all around.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is practicing for the second straight day this week on Friday. Higgins injured his hamstring on Sept. 5 during preparation for the Week 1 season-opener and has been unavailable for the first two games of the season as a result. However, he returned to a limited practice on Thursday and appears to be moving closer to making his 2024 debut. Still, it's unclear if the 25-year-old's season debut will come on Monday night against the visiting Washington Commanders, and Cincy won't release their final injury report of the week until Saturday. When fully healthy, Higgins is Cincy's WR2 behind Ja'Marr Chase and is a big part of the passing attack. Because he's yet to play in 2024 and because the Bengals could ease him back into the fold if he's active on Monday night, Higgins is a pretty risky flex plan for fantasy managers in Week 3.
Sep 20, 2024 3:22 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) will practice on Thursday. Higgins tweaked his hamstring in practice before the Week 1 season opener and has missed the first two games of the season as a result. Taylor said earlier this week that Higgins is trending in the right direction, and he has an extra day to prepare for the team's Monday night contest against the Washington Commanders in Week 3. The 25-year-old will likely be a limited participant on Thursday, but it's good news nonetheless as he builds up to making his 2024 debut. When healthy, Higgins will operate as Cincy's No. 2 wideout behind All-Pro Ja'Marr Chase. Higgins' impending return will inevitably take targets away from tight end Mike Gesicki and receiver Andrei Iosivas, who scored two touchdowns in the Week 2 loss to the Chiefs.
Sep 19, 2024 1:26 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that he believes wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is moving in a positive direction and that the extra day this week will help as the team prepares to face the Washington Commanders in Week 3 next Monday night. Higgins injured his hamstring in practice just days before the season opener and has missed the first two games of the season as a result. The 25-year-old's status for next Monday's game will depend on how much he can do in practice this week. If Higgins draws a questionable tag on the final injury report on Saturday, fantasy managers probably won't want to take any chances with him in their starting lineups. Andrei Iosivas scored two touchdowns in the Week 2 loss to the Chiefs on his two receptions, while tight end Mike Gesicki saw more involvement with Higgins out. The 0-2 Bengals could certainly use their WR2 in Higgins back sooner than later.
