Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins only has 49 catches for 720 yards in 13 games this season. On the other hand, he's certainly made up for it by amassing 10 touchdowns, tying him with Jaxson Smith-Njigba for the third-highest mark at the position. Granted, fantasy managers would love to see more volume for the former Clemson Tiger. Still, not many (if any) can say that they have scored at least once in six of their last seven appearances. With a favorable matchup with the injury-plagued Cardinals defense on tap for Week 17, Higgins ceiling is as high as ever. Keep him starting in all fantasy formats.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins hauled in all three of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Miami Dolphins. Higgins earned his fewest targets in a game since Week 8, but has now scored eight touchdowns in the past seven games. The 26-year-old wideout has put together a fantastic season, totalling 49 catches (84 targets) for 720 yards and 10 touchdowns in 13 games. His 10 touchdowns have matched a career high with two games remaining. He'll project favorably again for another potential shootout next week against the Arizona Cardinals.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) is active for Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Miami Dolphins, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Higgins, who had been listed as questionable, cleared concussion protocol prior to kickoff and is officially back from a one-game absence. The 26-year-old has impressed with 46 catches, 667 yards, and nine touchdowns over his last 12 healthy games, and he continues to trend upward after Joe Burrow returned from his toe injury earlier this month. Time and time again, the former second-round receiver has shown that he and Ja'Marr Chase can co-exist as dependable fantasy options in this high-powered offense. Higgins, who has turned into quite the scoring threat with 19 touchdowns over his last 22 games, ranks as a high-end WR2 this week in Miami.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) is "likely to play" in Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Miami Dolphins, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Higgins had been listed as questionable and is working his way back from a one-game absence. The 26-year-old has impressed with 46 catches, 667 yards, and nine touchdowns over his last 12 healthy games. He hauled in six of 11 targets and scored twice while catching passes from Joe Burrow in their only game together since the quarterback returned from a toe injury. Higgins, who has turned into quite the scoring threat with 19 touchdowns over his last 22 games, ranks as a high-end WR2 this week in Miami.
Dec 21, 2025 7:17 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) will be questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16, according to Mike Petraglia. Higgins was limited in practices on Wednesday and Thursday and still has one more hurdle to clear to pass through the league's concussion protocol. For context, the 26-year-old wideout has had two concussions in the last several weeks, and the Bengals could be extra hesitant to throw him back out there now that they've been eliminated from the playoffs. Higgins' first concussion occurred late in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots, and he experienced more concussion symptoms following the Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He's missed two of the last three games and could miss another contest this Sunday. When active, Higgins is a must-start in fantasy with a 46-667-9 line on 81 targets this year.
Dec 19, 2025 1:02 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in practice again on Thursday, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Higgins has not been a full participant at practice since reporting concussion-like symptoms following the team's Dec. 7 loss in Week 14 to the Buffalo Bills. The 26-year-old suffered his first concussion of the year in Week 12 and did not play in the Thanksgiving night win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. Higgins was held out of last week's shutout loss to the Ravens and remains in the league's concussion protocol. He will need clearance from an independent neurologist to play this Sunday in a meaningless game against the Miami Dolphins, with both teams eliminated from the postseason. Higgins' availability is up in the air, but he'd be a must-start in fantasy football if he's active in a great matchup.
Dec 18, 2025 5:38 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) was not spotted at the beginning of the team's practice on Thursday, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Higgins suffered his second concussion in two weeks in Week 14 and was held out of the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, so a DNP on Thursday would be a downgrade and suggest a possible setback as he tries to make his way through the league's concussion protocol. The Bengals have been eliminated from postseason play, so Cincy will most likely err on the side of caution if Higgins is up in the air at all. Fantasy managers should have a better idea of Higgins' status for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins by Friday. Higgins is a must-start in fantasy if he's active. If he's ruled out for a second straight game, though, Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley would both have some deep-league flex appeal in a favorable matchup.
Dec 18, 2025 3:10 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) is still in the league's concussion protocol, but he had his helmet on Wednesday and looked ready to practice, according to James Rapien of BengalsTalk.com. Higgins suffered his second concussion in two weeks in Week 14 and was held out of the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old was limited in two practices last week, but he ultimately wasn't able to clear the concussion protocol. He'll have a better shot to gain clearance this week, although the fact that Cincy has been eliminated from postseason contention could be a factor in whether he plays against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. If Higgins is cleared to play, he should be in all starting fantasy lineups in a plus matchup. Higgins has 46 receptions on 81 targets this year for 667 yards and nine touchdowns, which makes him the WR13 in half-PPR points per game in 2025. If Higgins misses a second straight game with his concussion, Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley will both be in line for more targets behind WR1 Ja'Marr Chase.
Dec 17, 2025 1:55 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) will not play on Sunday in a big divisional matchup versus the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Higgins was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out on Friday. He was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol after suffering his second concussion in the last several weeks in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 26-year-old will try to make progress and get cleared for a Week 16 contest on the road against the Miami Dolphins. Ja'Marr Chase will continue to be quarterback Joe Burrow's favorite target this week in the rematch against Baltimore, and Andrei Iosivas will now be in play as a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in deeper fantasy leagues. Iosivas caught a touchdown in the last meeting against Baltimore with Higgins sidelined, but it was his only reception of the game.
Dec 12, 2025 12:40 PM EST
ESPN's Ben Baby reports that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) was not seen at Friday's team practice. It's a step in the wrong direction for the Clemson product, who had practiced in a limited capacity during the two sessions leading up to Friday. Higgins was evaluated for a concussion in Week 14's 39-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills, although he would be cleared to return to the contest. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old would hit concussion protocol following the game, putting his status for Week 15 -- and potentially the rest of the season -- in doubt. If Higgins is unable to suit up for Sunday's outing with the visiting Baltimore Ravens, teammates Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley, and Charlie Jones would mix in behind Ja'Marr Chase in the offensive attack.
Dec 12, 2025 11:41 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) was back on the field for practice on Thursday after putting in a limited session on Wednesday. Higgins slammed his head down hard on the turf towards the end of the Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and was put in the concussion protocol for the second time in the last couple of weeks. The 26-year-old pass-catcher also suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was forced to miss the Thanksgiving night win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. He is trending in the right direction, but Higgins still has boxes to check and must be cleared by an independent neurologist later this week to play on Sunday against the division-rival Ravens. Higgins, who has 667 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on the year, is a must-start in fantasy if he's active. If he's ruled out, Andrei Iosivas will be a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues.
Dec 11, 2025 2:37 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) will be limited and take part in the individual portion of practice on Wednesday as part of the league's concussion protocol, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Higgins is in the league's concussion protocol again after hitting his head on the turf in Buffalo on Sunday in the Week 14 loss. The 26-year-old is up in the air to play this weekend against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, but it's good news that he's on the practice field for the first practice of the week. He suffered a concussion back in Week 12 and was held out of the Thanksgiving night win over the Ravens in Week 13, which could play into the decision on whether he'll play this week. Higgins returned with a bang on Sunday with six catches, 92 yards, and two touchdowns, and he's a must-start in fantasy if he's active. If Higgins misses another game, Andrei Iosivas would be in play as a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in deeper fantasy leagues.
Dec 10, 2025 1:25 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) experienced concussion-like symptoms on Sunday night and Monday morning and is back in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was held out of the Thanksgiving night win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. The 26-year-old returned on Sunday in the loss to the Buffalo Bills and enjoyed having quarterback Joe Burrow back, as he caught six of a season-high 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 39-34 loss. Higgins had a big game, but he slammed his head on the snowy turf late in the contest and is now in danger of missing the Week 15 divisional rematch with the Ravens. If Higgins misses another game, Andrei Iosivas will be back on the flex map for the start of the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues. Iosivas had just one catch on Thanksgiving with Higgins out, but it was a 29-yard touchdown reception.
Dec 8, 2025 3:26 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins made his return to the field during Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Higgins was forced to sit out the Week 13 Thanksgiving victory due to a concussion. He returned this weekend and made a huge splash on the field despite snowy conditions in Buffalo. Higgins hauled in six of his 11 targets for a team-high 92 yards and two touchdowns during the 39-34 loss on Sunday. This marked the first time that Higgins had seen double-digit targets since Week 7. It also marked the first time that Higgins and quarterback Joe Burrow have played together since Week 2. Clearly, the chemistry is still there, as the two hooked up on 21- and 25-yard scores on Sunday. The duo will look to keep the good times rolling in a rematch against the Ravens next weekend.
Dec 7, 2025 6:20 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Fortunately, he was a full participant in the following two sessions and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills. The wideout had been on a roll heading into the Week 12 loss to the Patriots, catching at least one touchdown in his previous four appearances. However, after taking a hit during that contests, he didn't suit up for the Week 13 win over the Ravens. With Joe Burrow recently back on the field after missing over two months, Higgins will have one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League at his disposal. Hopefully, that will remain the case moving ahead. Although Higgins can be streaky, his ceiling may be a bit higher in Week 14, considering Sunday's contest is anticipated to feature plenty of scoring from both sides. Get the 2020 No. 33 overall pick back in the lineup in all fantasy formats.
Dec 6, 2025 4:03 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is a full-go for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Higgins suffered a concussion late in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was forced to sit out of the Thanksgiving night win over the Baltimore Ravens last Thursday. The 26-year-old will return this weekend in a crucial game on the road in Buffalo and will have quarterback Joe Burrow throwing him passes for the first time since Week 2. Ja'Marr Chase's presence and high target share are always worrisome for Higgins' fantasy managers, but Higgins still has a pretty high fantasy ceiling, especially now that Burrow is back running the offense. Even with Burrow out for most of the year, Higgins has been a top-30 fantasy wideout in half-PPR scoring.
Dec 5, 2025 1:06 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) logged a full practice on Thursday after being limited in practice on Wednesday, per Jay Morrison of Sports Illustrated. The 26-year-old suffered a concussion towards the end of Cincinnati's Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots that led to him being sidelined for the team's Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. While Higgins will still need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol, it appears he could be trending towards returning to the field for the Bengals' Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Across 11 games this season, Higgins has recorded 40 catches for 575 yards and seven touchdowns on 70 targets. If he's able to return in Week 14, Higgins will share the field with Bengals QB1 Joe Burrow for the first time since Week 2. As long as he's active, Higgins profiles as a must-start wide receiver on Sunday against Buffalo.
Dec 4, 2025 4:49 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to Jay Morrison of SI.com. Higgins is making progress from a concussion that kept him from playing in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Baltimore Ravens last Thursday, but he's still in the league's concussion protocol and needs to check a few more boxes before he can be cleared to return this Sunday to face the Buffalo Bills. The Bengals got Ja'Marr Chase back from a one-game suspension last week, and they could have both of their star receivers this weekend against a banged-up Bills defense. If Higgins is able to get the green light to play in Week 14, it would push Andrei Iosivas back to WR3 duties and make him avoidable as a flex play in most fantasy football leagues. The 26-year-old Higgins is a must-start when active, as he's caught 40 passes for 575 yards and seven touchdowns this year on 70 targets.
Dec 3, 2025 1:24 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) is still in the league's concussion protocol, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Higgins suffered a concussion late in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was ruled out on a short week in last Thursday night's Thanksgiving Day win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old is still in the concussion protocol, but that doesn't mean he won't be cleared later this week in order to play on Sunday, Dec. 7, versus the Buffalo Bills. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on Higgins' practice status from Wednesday through Friday. If Higgins is forced to miss a second straight game, both Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley will take on elevated roles in the passing game again behind target hog Ja'Marr Chase. Higgins has 40 receptions (70 targets) for 575 yards and seven touchdowns this year.
Dec 1, 2025 3:25 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) has been ruled out for the Week 13 game this Thursday on Thanksgiving Day against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Higgins is in the league's concussion protocol after coming down hard on his head on the team's final drive of the game in Sunday's Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots, and on a short week, he will not have enough time to clear the protocol. It remains to be seen if the 26-year-old will gain clearance to play in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7. The good news for Cincy's offense is that quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is expected to play for the first time since Week 2, and they will also be getting top wideout Ja'Marr Chase back from a one-game suspension. With Higgins out, though, Andrei Iosivas will be in line for an expanded role for a second straight week.
