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.

Matthew Golden News
Sunday, July 5, 6:01 PM
After being selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden had a rookie season to forget. Across 14 games (five starts), the 22-year-old recorded 29 catches for 361 yards and zero touchdowns on 44 targets. Golden should have a more prominent role in the Packers' offense in his second season, as the team moved on from wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks over the offseason. However, Golden may still be behind wide receivers Christian Watson and Jayden Reed, as well as tight end Tucker Kraft, on the team's target pecking order. Green Bay has been a difficult place for wide receivers to post high-end fantasy production in recent seasons, as the team has frequently opted for an equal-opportunity passing offense and a run-heavy approach overall under current head coach and play-caller Matt LaFleur. Even with a discount in his value baked in, dynasty managers may want to avoid Golden ahead of 2026.
