Legendary Upside on Tee Higgins

Higgins' absence dims Burrow's efficiency spike and Bengals passing volume.

Higgins' injury status looms as a critical variable for Bengals efficiency and Burrow's production outlook. When Higgins played last year and in his return game, Burrow's efficiency spiked significantly—80th percentile EPA per play and 92nd percentile success rate in his most recent game. However, Higgins being off the field casts a shadow on Burrow's performance. The Ravens ran 80 plays in their first meeting, which cannot be counted on to repeat; if the Bengals have reduced play volume and Higgins remains unavailable, it could depress overall offensive production and passing efficiency.
