Tee Higgins News

Tee Higgins an Intriguing Dynasty Trade Target with QB Healthy?

Tuesday, April 7, 9:49 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins continues to trend up across fantasy football. He posted a career-best WR15 finish in 2025, catching 59 passes for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns. The reception and yardage totals weren't amazing, but his tendency to find the end zone allowed him to solidify himself as a high-end WR1 on a consistent basis. Higgins had such a productive season despite playing without quarterback Joe Burrow for more than half of his games. As Burrow missed more time due to injury, Higgins was forced to catch passes from a combination of Jake Browning and Joe Flacco. It wasn't the greatest quarterback play, but the 27-year-old still contributed, oftentimes bailing out his quarterbacks with spectacular catches down the field. Higgins has proven capable of handling a more versatile route tree, and we're intrigued about his ability to continue posting double-digit targets while seeing a bump in catches and yards with Burrow fully healthy. Given that Higgins has top-12 upside going forward, he's an intriguing offseason trade target in dynasty leagues.
