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.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Monday morning that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) is in the concussion protocol. Higgins went up for a one-on-one jump ball late in the game on Sunday, and when he landed on the ground, his head whiplashed backwards and smacked the ground. He was immediately taken out of the game and ruled out for concussion-like symptoms. Before being taken off the field, Higgins disappointed fantasy managers and only caught five of his six targets for 31 yards. Considering Ja'Marr Chase (suspended) was not playing due to his one-game suspension, Higgins was first in line for targets, and it was a tough day for him going up against a stiff New England defense. Higgins will now need medical clearance on Tuesday or Wednesday to play in Thursday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals (3-8) will look to play spoiler against the AFC North leaders, the Ravens (6-5).

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots. Higgins exited in the fourth quarter after his head hit the turf while attempting to catch a pass. He was taken to the locker room for evaluation and quickly ruled out. The 26-year-old finishes the game with six targets, five catches, and 31 receiving yards. Cincinnati finds itself very short-staffed on offense with Joe Burrow (foot) on IR, Ja'Marr Chase suspended, Tahj Brooks (concussion) ruled out, and now Higgins sidelined. Andrei Iosivas, Mitch Tinsley, and Charlie Jones will operate as the top wide receivers in Joe Flacco's offense for the remainder of Week 12.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has had a quality season. While the volume isn't always there, he's at least made up for it by finding the end zone seven times. Interestingly enough, he has scored at least once in all of the Bengals' home contests this season, with six of his seven touchdowns occurring in Cincinnati. With Paycor Stadium the site of Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots, it's widely expected that the wideout will be given plenty of chances to keep the streak going. That's even more true, considering Ja'Marr Chase will sit this one out due to suspension. Despite a challenging matchup on the horizon, most fantasy managers were already planning on starting Higgins in Week 12. However, his ceiling is much higher with Chase sidelined. It's logical to assume Higgins will be a focal point of the Pats defense. Still, he's talented enough to get open even if he sees expanded coverage, giving him the potential to finish the week as a top fantasy receiving option.
Nov 22, 2025 12:29 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was relatively quiet to begin the 2025 campaign. Although he found the end zone in Week 2 against the Jaguars, he had only seven catches through the first three weeks. Since then, it's been a different story, with Higgins scoring at least once in four of his last five appearances. He's also seen an uptick in volume, combining for 14 receptions (21 targets) for 323 yards in the Bengals' previous three contests. It appears Joe Flacco (shoulder) will continue looking in his direction, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats for the potential high-scoring encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Nov 15, 2025 12:36 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is coming off his best performance of the season. Higgins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns during the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Bengals are hopeful that the bye week hasn't cooled off Higgins. The 26-year-old has scored four touchdowns over his last three games. He'll head into a rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. A defense that he burned for 96 yards and a touchdown during their last meeting. Fantasy managers should expect another big performance out of Higgins this weekend.
Nov 11, 2025 7:54 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (head) cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins was shaken up on a play late in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, but he cleared the concussion protocol and should be just fine for a Week 11 divisional contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers after having the Week 10 bye to heal up. The 26-year-old had a massive game in Week 9, catching seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns, and he also secured a two-point conversion in the 47-42 loss to Chicago. His first touchdown of the day was a 44-yard bomb from quarterback Joe Flacco at the end of the first half, and his second score came from just two yards out in the third quarter. Despite Ja'Marr Chase soaking up a ton of targets, there's been enough to go around for Higgins, too. He has at least 62 receiving yards in three of his last four games and has four touchdowns in his last three games.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was a tough player to stop during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Higgins has been difficult to keep out of the end zone lately. On Sunday, Higgins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. The 26-year-old made easy work of the Bears' secondary, but sadly, the Bengals' defense wasn't able to hold up on their side. Regardless, Higgins has four touchdowns over his last three games and is showing no signs of slowing down. His next chance to do damage will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.
Nov 2, 2025 6:32 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he was held to just one catch in the disappointing one-point loss to the New York Jets in Week 8, the reception at least resulted in another trip to the end zone. With a touchdown in three of the Bengals' previous four outings, Higgins will look to stay relevant for fantasy managers versus the Chicago Bears. Granted, his lack of consistent volume from week-to-week is concerning. Joe Flacco (shoulder) appears to have the offense once again clicking on all cylinders, which is great news for fantasy participants. There's a chance Flacco may not be out there due to an AC joint sprain, meaning Jake Browning would be back under center. Still, regardless of who is starting, Higgins remains a risky, high-upside fantasy option, considering Sunday's contest between the Bears and Bengals is projected to be one of the highest-scoring games on the Week 9 schedule. Fortunately, Flacco is trending in a positive direction.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is coming off his best performance of the 2025 campaign, amassing six catches (10 targets) for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Ja'Marr Chase played better, Higgins still got things done for fantasy managers. With the Bengals one victory away from a .500 record, the club will take on the winless Jets in Week 8. New York's injury report is loaded heading into the contest. However, regarding the defensive side of the ball, Sauce Gardner (concussion) has already been ruled out. Of course, this is a tough blow for the Jets. Brandon Stephens will try to do most of the heavy lifting in the secondary. Unfortunately, that may not be enough, so it appears Higgins has a strong chance of having another potent fantasy outing on Sunday, making him a starting option in all formats.
Oct 25, 2025 11:20 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old is enjoying some newfound success after struggling to form a rapport with Jake Browning earlier in the year. He has looked much better in two games with Joe Flacco as his quarterback, totaling 11 catches, 158 yards, and one touchdown during that span. Flacco appears poised to remain the Bengals' quarterback for the duration of Joe Burrow's (toe) absence, which is great news for Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, and their fantasy managers. Higgins will continue to operate behind Chase in the pecking order, but he still has standalone value as a low-end WR2 for Week 8 against the Jets.
Oct 17, 2025 12:54 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins enters Week 7 looking to bounce back after a disappointing start to the 2025 season. Through six games, Higgins has managed 18 receptions for 220 yards and two touchdowns, a sharp decline from his breakout 2024 campaign. The Joe Burrow injury has taken a toll on the entire Bengals offense, but none more than Higgins, who has struggled to find consistent production without Burrow. However, there were signs of life in Week 6 with Joe Flacco under center, as Higgins recorded his season highs in receptions and receiving yards, potentially hinting at better days ahead. The Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is a favorable one, as they've allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers and have given up 15+ PPR points to Garrett Wilson, Justin Jefferson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba this season. Even with the improved quarterback play and friendly matchup, Higgins remains a risky WR3 in Week 7.
Oct 16, 2025 10:36 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins hasn't looked the best throughout the first five weeks of the 2025 campaign. He has only 13 catches (27 targets) for 158 yards. Fortunately, the wideout has at least found the end zone twice, preventing him from being a complete bust for fantasy managers. In Higgins' defense, the Bengals offense has struggled, and it wasn't much better when Joe Burrow (toe) was healthy and on the field. With Joe Flacco, who was recently acquired in a trade with the Browns, getting the start for Sunday's meeting with the Packers, it's unknown how his presence will impact the offense. However, with only a few days to prepare, it's safe to assume Flacco's knowledge of the playbook will be limited. As such, Higgins may not be the safest fantasy option, especially with a challenging matchup on the horizon. On the other hand, that could change if Ja'Marr Chase (illness) suffers a setback and doesn't suit up.

Oct 11, 2025 11:45 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy football through the early part of the 2025 season. He's managed just 10 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown on 20 targets, ranking 68th in target share (17.5%), 82nd in receiving yards, and 110th in receptions. Without Joe Burrow at quarterback, Higgins has struggled to command a consistent role in an offense that looks far less dynamic than it did in 2024. In Week 5, Higgins faces the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Detroit's defense has been steady, though they were exposed in Week 2 by Bears' WR Rome Odunze, who torched them for 100+ yards and two scores. Still, Higgins' involvement has been too shaky to trust. Given his lack of volume and inconsistent production, Higgins is a very risky play in Week 5.
Oct 4, 2025 1:55 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins struggled through the first three weeks. The wideout has been targeted 14 times, catching seven passes for 104 yards and a touchdown. To be fair, the entire offense hasn't looked the best. He's also at least stayed healthy, which is a plus. However, Higgins' lack of production has certainly been disappointing for fantasy managers. With the Bengals coming off an ugly 48-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3, the team will look to get it together on Monday night versus the Broncos. Without question, Higgins has plenty of talent. Unfortunately, until the offense can get on track, Higgins will be hard to trust. Despite the obvious upside, he's a risky fantasy option in any format in Week 4.
Sep 27, 2025 1:48 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins pulled in three of his four targets for 33 yards in the Week 1 win over the Browns. As expected, that performance didn't sit well with fantasy managers. In all fairness, the entire offense struggled in that one. While the wideout caught as many passes in Week 2 against Jacksonville, he totaled 56 yards. Even better, he scored a touchdown. Unfortunately, the Bengals will need to navigate their way forward without quarterback Joe Burrow (foot). In his place, Jake Browning will get the start. Naturally, many are concerned about how Burrow's absence will impact the offense. However, Higgins will need to piece together more than a few subpar showings with Browning under center before fantasy managers should consider benching him. For now, he's still a starting fantasy option, so managers in all formats can keep him rolling in Week 3 versus the Vikings.
Sep 20, 2025 4:50 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught three of his four targets for 33 yards in the win over the Cleveland Browns. The wideout has been known to have some off weeks throughout his career. However, he wasn't the only one who struggled, with Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards. Teammate, Ja'Marr Chase, didn't play much better, with the former LSU Tiger amassing only two grabs. All things considered, the Bengals likely did some work during the week leading up to Sunday's clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, meaning there is a good chance the offense turns it around. While that doesn't mean Higgins will see the most attention from Burrow in Week 2, there's still reason to believe he'll perform at a higher level, considering Sunday's contest may be the highest-scoring game on the schedule.
Sep 13, 2025 11:21 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins spent all last season looking for a new contract. He also missed time due to injury. However, the wideout was productive when healthy and finished the year with 911 yards and 10 touchdowns off 73 catches (12 games). Equipped with a new four-year contract, Higgins should be ready to produce when the Bengals meet the Browns in Week 1. He scored in each of his two encounters with Cleveland during the 2024 campaign. With this expected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the week, Higgins has a chance of exceeding expectations for fantasy managers. He's a must-start on Sunday, although most know that already.
Sep 6, 2025 11:40 AM EST
Trainers were looking at Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins' left ankle during training camp practice on Thursday, according to Jeremy Rauch. Higgins got his leg tangled up during a play and was seen hobbling off the field. Higgins and the rest of Cincy's starters were already scheduled to be held out of the preseason finale on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old has a history of dealing with nagging injuries, so this isn't what fantasy managers want to see right before the start of the 2025 regular season. While it doesn't sound like Higgins' injury is serious, it's something to watch for heading into Week 1 of the regular season. Higgins only played in 12 games for the second straight year due to injuries in 2024, but he still managed 73 catches, 911 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns in Cincy's high-octane offense. He's on the WR1/2 borderline in fantasy.
