Tee Higgins News
Monday, July 13, 11:19 AM
Across 15 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins recorded 59 receptions for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns on 98 targets. As an elite ball-winner, Higgins has established himself as one of the best end zone targets in the NFL by recording 21 touchdown catches over his last 27 games played. However, his target upside is capped by the presence of superstar Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase. Higgins' profile also comes with health questions, as he's missed 12 games over the past three seasons due to a variety of injuries. Additionally, the Bengals' passing offense is highly dependent on the health of quarterback Joe Burrow, who has missed at least seven games in two out of the last three seasons. While Higgins is a threat to finish as a fantasy WR1 in any given week, he's not the most consistent producer for fantasy managers due to his situation in Cincinnati and his health concerns. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high.

Emeka Egbuka News
Wednesday, July 15, 12:05 PM
A combination of factors built a rookie wall for Tampa Bay Buccaneers former first-rounder Emeka Egbuka, and his production fell off drastically in the last eight games of 2025. The 19th overall selection out of Ohio State finished with a 63-938-6 line on 127 targets in his 17 games played. The 23-year-old will have 1,278 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns if he produces over a full season as he did in his first nine NFL games, according to Dan Pompei of The Athletic. Egbuka dealt with a hamstring injury and an undefined role as he was forced to learn and play every receiver position thanks to injuries to Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Jr., and Jalen McMillan. In Year 2, new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson is set on making Egbuka a full-time Z receiver, and with the departure of Evans, there is clear breakout potential as quarterback Baker Mayfield looks to establish a new go-to target through the air. Egbuka won't come cheap for fantasy managers trying to buy low on him in dynasty/keeper formats after his second-half collapse, and in redraft leagues, the second-year pass-catcher should be targeted as a low-end WR2 with intriguing upside.
