From the article

Fresh off a bye, Higgins should be ready to go after a minor injury scare heading into Week 5, which ended up being his worst game and usage of the last 10 games, at least. Higgins has been the WR20 on WR20 usage this season, including that dud. That is his floor baseline, as he's had stretches with Joe Burrow inside the top 10 before. The Bengals offense is back to the shotgun spread style after failing to gain ground in a more balanced, under-center style. That's good for Higgins' outlook, most likely.

Higgins back from bye with favorable intermediate-zone matchup; WR20 floor usage.

Higgins projects for 69.5 receiving yards and is ranked WR17 overall. Fresh off a bye, he should be ready after a minor injury scare heading into Week 5, which was his worst game and usage of the last 10 games. He remains WR20 on WR20 usage this season, establishing his floor baseline; he's had stretches with Joe Burrow inside the top 10 before. The Bengals offense has returned to shotgun spread style after failing to gain ground in a more balanced, under-center approach, which is good for Higgins' outlook. Baltimore ranks 14th in half PPR points allowed to WRs at 27.4 per game and has conceded substantial production to opposing boundary targets (Drake London: 7 catches, 118 yards in Week 5; Carnell Tate: 145 yards on 9 receptions in Week 4). Higgins' 72% WR target share on throws between 5-15 air yards leads his distribution; Baltimore ranks seventh-worst in half PPR points allowed to this intermediate zone (16.4 per game). Bengals are 2.5-point road underdogs with 23.5-point implied total (15th).
