Tee Higgins News
Thursday, August 27, 5:48 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has put together two top-20 finishes at the wide receiver position over the past two seasons and three of the last four. Last season, Higgins finished as the WR15, hauling in 98 of his 59 receptions for 846 yards (14.3 YPR) and 11 touchdowns. He was 13th in the NFL with 14.1 fantasy points per game and played in 15 games. In 2024, he finished as the WR5 in fantasy points per game with 18.5 and played in 12 games. The key for Higgins is health, as he has played only one full 17-game season and has had multiple seasons with only 12 games played. In 2025, Higgins finished 3rd in the NFL in deep targets, second in total TDs, and is a high-upside player being drafted in the late third round. On a points-per-game basis, Higgins is one of the top receivers in the game. RotoBaller ranks Higgins as the WR16, so fantasy managers looking to capitalize on a high-upside player at the receiver position should look in Higgins' direction.

Carnell Tate News
Thursday, August 27, 9:30 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate had a much-needed productive day in Thursday's joint practice with Chicago. AtoZ Sports Nashville reported that Cam Ward found Tate on a back-shoulder throw down the sideline to open a move-the-ball period, then hit him for a red-zone touchdown. Tate also got open for another potential score, but Ward missed the throw. The No. 4 overall pick has been one of Tennessee's more noticeable practice players this summer, including a three-touchdown day earlier in August, but none of it has shown up in preseason games yet. Tate has been targeted five times through two exhibitions without a catch. He also missed one practice last week because of stiffness before returning two days later. Thursday was a better snapshot of what Tennessee has been seeing from Tate in camp. He has started with the first-team offense this preseason and remains positioned for a significant role alongside Calvin Ridley and Wan'Dale Robinson.
