Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy football through the early part of the 2025 season. He's managed just 10 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown on 20 targets, ranking 68th in target share (17.5%), 82nd in receiving yards, and 110th in receptions. Without Joe Burrow at quarterback, Higgins has struggled to command a consistent role in an offense that looks far less dynamic than it did in 2024. In Week 5, Higgins faces the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Detroit's defense has been steady, though they were exposed in Week 2 by Bears' WR Rome Odunze, who torched them for 100+ yards and two scores. Still, Higgins' involvement has been too shaky to trust. Given his lack of volume and inconsistent production, Higgins is a very risky play in Week 5.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (ankle, shoulder) is officially active, as expected, for the Monday night game against the Jacksonville Jaguars to close out Week 5 action, according to Matt McMullen of Chiefs.com. Worthy dislocated his right shoulder on the first offensive drive of 2025 in Week 1 and then missed Weeks 2 and 3. The speedy 22-year-old returned in last week's win over the Baltimore Ravens, but he was added to Saturday's injury report due to swelling in his ankle. The issue isn't serious for Worthy, though, and he'll be available as one of the team's top offensive weapons against the 3-1 Jags. Worthy caught five of his eight targets for 83 yards in Week 4 and added two carries for 38 yards while playing 59% of the snaps. He could be even more involved on Monday night in his second game back from his shoulder injury.
