Tee Higgins Ready to Go on Sunday Against Cleveland

Saturday, September 6, 11:40 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins spent all last season looking for a new contract. He also missed time due to injury. However, the wideout was productive when healthy and finished the year with 911 yards and 10 touchdowns off 73 catches (12 games). Equipped with a new four-year contract, Higgins should be ready to produce when the Bengals meet the Browns in Week 1. He scored in each of his two encounters with Cleveland during the 2024 campaign. With this expected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the week, Higgins has a chance of exceeding expectations for fantasy managers. He's a must-start on Sunday, although most know that already.

Rashod Bateman News

Rashod Bateman a Touchdown or Bust Flex Play in Week 1

Friday, September 5, 10:20 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman finally flashed a bit of the talent last season that the team has been patiently awaiting. Entering his fifth year, Bateman more than doubled his career touchdown total last season as he hauled in nine touchdown passes. He also registered career highs in targets (72), yards (756), and yards per target (10.5). With that being said, Bateman is often third in the receiving pecking order, behind Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. Isaiah Likely (foot) has already been ruled out, but the Ravens picked up DeAndre Hopkins in the offseason. That leaves Bateman as a touchdown-or-bust type of option against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. RotoBaller's projections currently have him down for around eight fantasy points in PPR formats, which would only make him relevant in deeper leagues.
