Should I Start Tee Higgins?

Friday, November 13, 5:40 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is on track for the best season of his career so far in 2026, as he's recorded 48 catches for 758 yards and six touchdowns on 67 targets across eight games. As long as fellow star Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase remains healthy, Higgins may not see the same level of consistent target volume as other top fantasy wideouts. However, Higgins has hauled in five touchdown catches in his last three games and has been one of the NFL's most consistent end zone targets in recent years, recording back-to-back seasons with double-digit touchdowns in 2024 and 2025. With Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow healthy, the Cincinnati offense is starting to look like one of the top units in the NFL. Over his last four games, Burrow has thrown for 1,215 yards and 16 touchdowns. As long as both he and Burrow stay on the field, Higgins profiles as a high-end WR1 option for fantasy managers.
