PositiveValueSep 25, 2026
Higgins is averaging 105 air yards and 25% target share through two weeks, ranking WR12 in targets per game. He's a buy-low since 2023 with Joe Burrow healthy: WR15 on WR10 usage (similar to George Pickens' situation). Hayden notes Higgins hasn't scored big plays yet but trusts the over-the-middle routes (Jamar Chase making sideline catches while Higgins runs in-breaker after in-breaker). Joey Porter Jr. returned limited but unlikely to play. Bengals are first in neutral pass rate. Steelers projected for only 23 points, so no shootout expected.NegativeBustSep 14, 2026
Higgins is noted alongside Ja'Marr Chase as having a non-existent performance in Week 1, with Harmon questioning if it was merely early-season rust or a deeper issue with the Bengals' passing game.NegativeProjectionSep 9, 2026
Tee Higgins is the WR12. He is a volatile WR2 who can provide massive weeks but is prone to inconsistency. His historical production with Joe Burrow suggests he remains a fringe WR1/WR2 option.PositiveValueSep 2, 2026
Tee Higgins is a high-value target, especially in round four; he has historically averaged 15 full PPR points per game when Joe Burrow is healthy, and he possesses top-five WR upside should anything happen to Ja'Marr Chase.PositiveProjectionAug 12, 2026
Tee Higgins is a strong target in the third/fourth round. In 39 games with a healthy Joe Burrow since 2022, he averages 15 full PPR points per game. He offers 'free roll' upside if Ja'Marr Chase misses time, and his role has evolved to include more high-volume underneath work.PositiveProjectionJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins scored 21 touchdowns in his last 27 games, and the Bengals have been tied for 7th, 2nd, and 1st in passing touchdowns in 2021, 2022, and 2024 respectively when Joe Burrow is healthy.PositiveValueJun 24, 2026
Tee Higgins is being drafted as WR16 in the third round after being a 2-3 turn pick last year, but he matches George Pickens' production (12.6 vs 12.57 PPR points per game) while playing in a superior offense.PositiveUsageNo date
On plays with Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins on the field over the past two years, Joe Burrow has completed 72% of his passes for 8 yards per pass attempt and a 7.3 touchdown rate. The Bengals are implementing more play-action looks in training camp, which could create more deep shot opportunities for Higgins as the safety is forced to choose between covering Chase or Higgins, potentially increasing his target share.PositiveProjectionNo date
Tee Higgins is one of two wide receivers who would benefit from increased play-action opportunities in the Bengals offense. The source notes Higgins would be excellent on play-action routes and could see more deep shots if the Bengals successfully implement their offensive coordinator's plan to increase under-center and play-action usage, potentially returning to the single-high safety looks that existed when the receivers entered the league.
