Tee Higgins News

Tee Higgins Held in Check in Win Over Dolphins

Sunday, October 11, 5:45 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (groin/neck) was held to just two receptions for 22 yards (11.0 yards per catch) on four targets in a 31-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. The receptions and yardage totals were both season lows for Higgins, but quarterback Joe Burrow also threw for a season-low 190 yards. Higgins is dealing with injuries to his groin and neck, and entered the game with a questionable tag after missing practice on Thursday and Friday before logging a full session on Friday. There were questions regarding whether or not Higgins would be on a snap count against the Dolphins, but he played 45 out of 64 offensive snaps for the Bengals (70.3%). Higgins was behind fellow wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (77) and tight end Erick All Jr. (25) in receiving yards on Sunday. However, Higgins leads Cincinnati in receiving yards with 423 and has recorded a touchdown in 2026. He will remain a must-start fantasy football wide receiver following the Bengals' Week 6 bye week.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Misses Another Practice on Thursday

Thursday, October 22, 1:57 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) officially did not practice for a second straight day due to his hamstring injury on Thursday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Rice has not practiced since suffering a hamstring injury in the Week 4 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders and did not play in this past Sunday's 22-6 victory over the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. With two missed practices under his belt this week, the 26-year-old is on the wrong side of questionable to return this Sunday night on the road to face the Seattle Seahawks. Rice will need to get back on the field in some capacity to have a shot at playing this weekend. The former second-rounder is a must-start in all fantasy lineups when he is healthy. Through four games so far in 2026, Rice has caught 13 of his 17 targets for 190 yards and a touchdown. The speedy Xavier Worthy caught all seven of his targets for 73 yards on Sunday as he took advantage of Rice's absence, and he will virtually be a must-start against Seattle if Rice misses a second straight game.
