Tee Higgins News
Monday, August 17, 7:11 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has top-12 upside in fantasy football, but injuries to either him or quarterback Joe Burrow have prevented him from reaching his ceiling so far. Through six NFL seasons, Higgins' best fantasy finish is WR15, a mark that he achieved in 2025 despite missing two games. Unfortunately, Burrow also missed plenty of time last year, leaving Higgins with subpar quarterback play for a large portion of the season. Nevertheless, he managed to score 11 touchdowns, marking the second consecutive year in which he made double-digit trips to the end zone. Ironically, as his touchdown total went up, his receptions and yards went down, and he finished last year with a modest 59 catches for 846 yards. If Higgins and Burrow can both stay healthy this year, the 27-year-old receiver should finally push for 1,000+ yards, 10+ touchdowns, and a top-12 fantasy finish. He has proven that he and Ja'Marr Chase can coexist, and we know this offense is capable of supporting numerous big fantasy performances at once. As it stands, Higgins ranks as the WR15 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for 2026.

Romeo Doubs News
Monday, August 24, 11:25 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs already had the No. 2 job, and Monday's Kayshon Boutte trade clears out another player who could have taken outside snaps and downfield targets. New England agreed to send Boutte to Houston for safety Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick. Doubs is coming off 55 catches for 724 yards and six touchdowns with Green Bay, and his first Patriots camp has picked up after a slower start. He has made several contested and red-zone catches lately, while A.J. Brown, Doubs and DeMario Douglas have been the regular first-team trio around Drake Maye. Boutte was mostly working behind that group, but he still had 551 yards and six touchdowns last season and gave Maye another proven vertical option. That competition is gone now. Brown remains the clear No. 1 and Douglas should get plenty of slot work, so Doubs is not suddenly headed for massive volume. His place in the offense does look even safer, though. RotoBaller has him at WR53 and 122nd overall in PPR, and the trade gives his late-round flex case another small bump.
