Tee Higgins has Best Fantasy Outing With Huge Second Half

Sunday, October 25, 5:01 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of seven targets for 148 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Baltimore Ravens. This was the 27-year-old's best fantasy outing (PPR) of the season, surpassing his previous season-high mark by one-tenth of a point. What makes this performance even more impressive is that all six of his catches came in the second half of the game. Higgins has repeatedly shown that he can operate as a high-end WR2 with high-end WR1 upside, despite operating alongside star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Higgins has actually outscored Chase in fantasy football this season, and he will continue to rank as a must-start WR2 in a very favorable matchup against the one-win Tennessee Titans next week.

Nico Collins Suffers Major Week 7 Fantasy Bust With Just Six Yards

Sunday, October 25, 12:58 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins remains the team's most established receiving threat despite turning in his worst performance of the season during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the New York Giants, catching just two of five targets for six yards without a touchdown. He finished with only 2.6 PPR fantasy points, with both receptions coming on the same third-quarter possession for gains of two and four yards. The disastrous showing followed four consecutive appearances with at least 56 receiving yards, including a 118-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Houston managed just 153 passing yards despite playing into overtime, with C.J. Stroud throwing touchdowns to Marvin Harrison Jr. and Xavier Hutchinson. Tank Dell also made his return, contributing a 43-yard reception on his lone target. Sunday's lack of production was especially frustrating given Collins' recent success. The Texans have a Week 8 bye before visiting the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9.
