Tee Higgins News
Sunday, September 27, 8:46 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught six of seven targets for 90 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In addition to finding the end zone for the first time this year, Higgins' six catches represented a new season-high mark. The 27-year-old has repeatedly proven that he can co-exist with Ja'Marr Chase in fantasy football, and he remains a must-start WR2 going forward. As long as quarterback Joe Burrow is healthy, Higgins is a safe bet to get peppered with targets while making difficult catches and offering some touchdown upside. With that said, he's currently on pace for just six touchdowns this year, which is a significant step back from his 10 in 2024 and his 11 in 2025. Perhaps he can improve on that pace with another big game and visit to the end zone in a potential Week 4 shootout against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Xavier Worthy News
Sunday, September 27, 8:42 PM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was held to just two catches for 20 yards during Sunday's Week 3 win over the Miami Dolphins. Worthy was on the receiving end of just 10% of Patrick Mahomes' completions, which is a relatively modest proportion for a team's No. 2 receiver. It was also a significant step backward for Worthy after he caught five of seven targets for 25 yards and a touchdown last week. The 23-year-old receiver has been held to fewer than 5.0 fantasy points (PPR) in two of his three games so far, making him a riskier play for Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Rashee Rice, the lone Chiefs wide receiver with more than two catches on Sunday, is the only player from this position group in must-start consideration going forward.
