Tee Higgins News
Wednesday, June 17, 5:30 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been undervalued at times because he's playing alongside Ja'Marr Chase. Despite being the No. 2 option, Higgins has been a stud since being drafted by the Bengals in 2020. During his first three seasons, Higgins finished with 1,000-plus receiving yards in two of those first three years. Unfortunately, injuries have slowed down Higgins from putting up elite numbers, but he's hopeful to put those lingering issues behind him. This past season, Higgins finished with 59 receptions, 846 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns. Those are fairly impressive numbers given the fact that Higgins is doing that with quarterback Joe Burrow being injured for part of two of the last three seasons. When this offense is healthy, Higgins can put together high-end WR2 numbers with the possibility of being a WR1.

Michael Pittman Jr. News
Saturday, June 6, 12:40 PM
After spending the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts, wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in March. Across 17 games with the Colts in 2025, Pittman Jr. recorded 80 receptions for 784 yards and seven touchdowns on 111 targets. While the 28-year-old has never been the most explosive downfield threat, he's made his bones as a possession receiver who can consistently win in the short and intermediate areas of the field. That may make him a perfect fit with Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who prefers to get the ball out of his hands as quickly as possible at this stage of his career. Still, Pittman Jr.'s production has generally been declining since his highest-usage year in 2023, when he hauled in 109 catches for 1,152 yards on 156 targets. He also faces target competition in Pittsburgh from veteran wideout DK Metcalf and rookie wide receivers Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen. In dynasty formats, managers may want to look to sell high on Pittman Jr.
