All Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry insights about Tee Higgins
PositiveProjectionOct 26, 2026
Tee Higgins is on pace for 1,600 receiving yards and has had 20+ fantasy points in three of the past four games. He's wide receiver 10 on a points-per-game basis despite being drafted as a mid-tier WR2 and often overlooked in draft season. Matthew Berry argues he's a borderline wide receiver one, not a boring mid-tier WR2. The Bengals are using him effectively with Jamar Chase as a decoy—on one touchdown, they used a double post to put the safety in a bind, and with Jamar drawing coverage, Burrow threw a beautiful ball to Tee in the back of the end zone. Tee is quarterback-friendly, aggressive, and makes Burrow look better. With favorable upcoming matchups (Tennessee, Atlanta, Steelers, Mike Manders), if he can be acquired for less than a WR1 price, Berry is in.NegativeUsageOct 12, 2026
13% target share in Week 5 against Miami, but Matthew Berry emphasizes this was game-plan specific; Higgins maintained an 82% route rate and the Bengals deployed 12 personnel (two tight ends) on 64% of plays to attack the Dolphins' defense. Berry is not worried about Higgins' long-term outlook and suggests buying low on him as a league-wide panic sell.NegativeUsageOct 12, 2026

Looking good to play despite groin and neck issues; was out there running routes and catching passes in practice, which is a positive sign. Not surprised he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday given both injuries, but outlook is favorable.NegativeInjuryOct 8, 2026
Tee Higgins did not practice on Wednesday, creating uncertainty around his availability for Week 5 Sunday game.NegativeInjuryOct 5, 2026
Left game with abductor injury. Bengals have week six bye, so if he misses one game, potentially back by week seven.NegativeInjuryOct 5, 2026
Left Week 4 game early with abductor injury; has a Week 6 bye which could provide recovery time if he misses one game.PositiveValueSep 8, 2026

Matthew Freedman argues that Tee Higgins has a low ceiling while Ja'Marr Chase is healthy, noting Higgins has never exceeded 1,100 yards in a season and has missed 16 games over the last five years. Freedman believes Higgins is a 'floor' play rather than a league-winner, though Berry notes he is acceptable as a WR2 if the drafter prioritizes running backs early.
