Chase tied for 4th in receiving TDs; expected to have a huge game soon.
Ja'Marr Chase is tied for fourth in receiving touchdowns in the NFL with five through Week 7 and is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL. The source notes he is expected to have a huge game soon, as he has had one or more highlight-reel games in every season of his career.
Higgins ranks 8th in NFL receiving yards; playing like a top-10 WR.
Higgins is currently ranked No. 8 in the NFL with 571 receiving yards through six games and is playing like a top-10 wide receiver in the NFL. His current production trajectory and consistency represent a career year after five years of living in Ja'Marr Chase's shadow.
Higgins dominated Jaguars (11-157) and Ravens (6-148-1 TD) in recent weeks.
Against Jacksonville in Week 4, Higgins was the Bengals' best healthy wide receiver for three quarters, catching 11 passes for 157 yards when the Jaguars' defense knew the ball was going to him. Against Baltimore, after being held without a catch in the first half, Higgins caught six passes for 148 yards and a touchdown in the second half, averaging 24.7 yards per reception with all six catches gaining a first down.
Burrow calls Higgins a need; he's the key to the Bengals' explosive offense.
Joe Burrow said Tee Higgins is a need back in 2024, citing his vertical route running, big-play ability, and knack for making chunk catches over the middle of the field. When Higgins plays at his current level, the Bengals' offense is at its best and most explosive. Even in games where Ja'Marr Chase makes highlight-reel plays, Higgins has been the Bengals' best and most important receiver on the field.
Higgins has 50+ yards in five of six games; consistent, not streaky.
Higgins has been remarkably consistent through six games: 50+ receiving yards in five of six games, over 90 receiving yards in four of six games, and 5+ receptions in four of six games. He is not a streaky receiver this season. In two of his last three games, he has combined 305 receiving yards; in his other four games, he averages 66.5 receiving yards per game.
Higgins on pace for career highs in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
Through six games, Higgins is on pace for 94 receptions, 1,617 receiving yards, and six touchdowns—all career highs. His 95.2 receiving yards per game average is by far his career-high (prior career-high was 77.9 in 2021), and he's averaging 17.3 yards per reception, well above his previous single-season career-high of 15.6 in 2023.
