Tee Higgins News
Tuesday, February 17, 4:46 AM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins continues to be a productive fantasy option, and he posted a new career-best finish as the overall WR15 in PPR leagues in 2025. Despite missing two games, Higgins exploded for 59 catches, 846 yards, and a career-high 11 touchdowns. It has been really encouraging to see the former second-round pick get more looks in the end zone. He has set a new career-high in touchdowns in each of the last two seasons, and during that two-year window, he has scored a total of 21 times. Some people might say that Higgins benefits from facing teams' No. 2 cornerbacks (because their top options cover Ja'Marr Chase), but that's a hard argument to make given that Higgins has also excelled in games that Chase has missed. There's a bit of an injury risk with Higgins, who had two concussions during the back half of the 2025 season, but his ceiling and floor both remain quite high. He's worth drafting as a high-end WR2 in 2026 fantasy drafts, and he's worth holding in dynasty leagues.

Justin Fields News
Monday, March 16, 7:25 AM
The Kansas City Chiefs are acquiring quarterback Justin Fields from the New York Jets on Monday in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick in 2027, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Other teams were interested in trading for Fields, but his preference was to go to Kansas City, where he'll be the backup for Patrick Mahomes (knee). Fields also dealt with a knee issue late last year, but he should be fully ready for offseason workouts and training camp this summer. If Mahomes were somehow not ready for the start of the 2026 regular season this fall while recovering from his torn ACL, Fields could be named the starter early on for KC. The 27-year-old former first-rounder has excellent rushing abilities, but he just hasn't progressed enough as a passer to take the next step in the NFL. Fields threw for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception last year in nine games for the Jets before being benched for veteran Tyrod Taylor. Landing with head coach Andy Reid in KC is an ideal landing spot for Fields, but he'll only see the field if Mahomes is injured.
