Higgins

•

Tee Higgins has been a great wide receiver, but he’s coming off a down season. Higgins suffered a rib fracture in Week 4, leading him to miss one game, a hamstring injury, causing him to miss three. Then, he missed the last week of the season due to a hamstring injury in Week 18. That combined with a slow start to the season, and his numbers were poor. He still had five strong games in the middle and late parts of the season outside of games where he came back from injury or left early due to injury. He averaged 17 PPR points per game in those five contests.

Higgins' primary competition for targets is the same as it’s been the last two seasons — Ja’Marr Chase. Luckily, he doesn’t have much competition outside of that. They added Mike Gesicki at tight end, but he shouldn’t stop Higgins from receiving a high target share. The biggest change is the Tyler Boyd loss.

Higgins is a very good receiver who is consistently elevated by his situation with the Cincinnati Bengals. When healthy, he’s a clear top-24 wide receiver with little hope of being in the top 10. His constant injuries have pushed his ADP down to 28, but as long as he’s healthy and not traded, he should outperform that. It is understandable for a fantasy manager picking in that range to want someone with a higher chance of finishing in the top 10.
