CIN WR Tee Higgins - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Baltimore
Tee Higgins has been rather quiet since he returned from injury. In the two games, he does have eight receptions for only 76 yards and zero touchdowns. To be honest, he didn't have any big games before the injury. The yardage numbers have been low although he did score touchdowns in the first two games of 2021.

The Ravens are next and are ranked 4th in aFPA to wide receivers. Higgins is due for a breakout game, especially if opposing defenses start keying on Ja'Marr Chase more.

Start Higgins as a high-end WR3 or flex. Don't think that breakout game is coming against this defense, but should still have quality fantasy numbers for Week 7.

CIN WR Tee Higgins - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Detroit
Tee Higgins returned after missing two weeks with an injury. Although he was limited with his numbers (32 receiving yards), he was targeted seven times which produced five catches. Before the injury, his numbers were very good.

It will be a tough matchup for the Bills as the Lions are ranked 7th in aFPA to wide receivers. Higgins seems to be back in the flow and should have better numbers for Week 6. Start him as a solid WR3 or flex in Detroit.

CIN WR Tee Higgins - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Green Bay
Tee Higgins returns from injury which means he probably is No. 2 in the pecking order when it comes to receivers. The second-year player has 10 receptions for 118 yards and two touchdowns in two games but missed the last two games.

Higgins faces the Packers who are ranked 14th in aFPA to wide receivers. The biggest issue with Higgins and all the receivers on Cincy is anyone can have the big game.

Start Higgins as solid WR3 or Flex for Week 5. He is a welcome return and Burrow will try to get him back in the flow early.

CIN WR Tee Higgins - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Pittsburgh
Tee Higgins had a team-high 10 targets which produced six catches for 60 yards and his second touchdown of the season. Higgins seems to be QB Joe Burrow's favorite target but the second-year QB does spread the ball around. Higgins' ability to get in the end zone is a plus as he is very unlikely to put up numbers with more catches and passing yards. Those numbers should be the norm.

Higgins had one of his two 100+ receiving yard games last year against Pittsburgh. We don't expect that to happen and we will stick with the numbers he had last week to repeat for Week 3. Start Higgins as a high-end WR3 or flex on the road this Sunday.

CIN WR Tee Higgins - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Chicago
It could be hit or miss with all the Bengals receivers as they are all capable of being the No. 1 guy any given week. Tee Higgins had five targets for Week 1 which produced four receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown. Higgins did leave the game to get an IV, but that shouldn't be long-term issue. He did return later in the game.

Higgins faces a Bears defense that is ranked 8th in aFPA to wide receivers. Chicago's defense at home will be tough to put up consistent passing numbers.

For Week 2, Higgins ranks a high-end WR3 or Flex. The matchup on the road and the fact that Higgins could be 1 or 3 in the Cincy receiver pecking order gives you some risk starting him.

CIN WR Tee Higgins - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Minnesota
The Bengals' receiving corps is very talented and one of the best threesomes in the NFL. The problem is any one of them can have a big game while others end up with very little fantasy stats. Tee Higgins is the highest rated for Week 1 but this could change every week.

We expect the Bengals to have conservative game plans to start the season as they see where QB Joe Burrow is as he returns from injury. The Vikings are ranked 24th in aFPA to wide receivers so it is a positive matchup.

Start Higgins as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3. He should have a minimum of five receptions and will be the most targeted Bengals receiver this season.

CIN WR Tee Higgins - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
As the season went on, it was evident that Tee Higgins was becoming one of Joe Burrow's favorite targets in the passing game. In the last eight games before Burrow's injury, Higgins had 40 receptions and 61 targets. That produced 603 receiving yards and four touchdown receptions. Higgins ended up with 67 catches and 908 yards for the season. The Bengals will rely heavily on the passing game so there should be plenty of targets for Higgins.

Fantasy Downside
The Bengals drafted Ja'Marr Chase with the fifth overall pick and that puts him No. 1 in the pecking order. Higgins should lose some of those targets to Chase and there is also the veteran Tyler Boyd on the other side. And of course, everyone is counting on Burrow to bounce back from his ACL injury, but nothing is a given as a guaranteed recovery.

Bottom Line
We expect Higgins to have slightly higher numbers in 2021, but the Chase factor is too relevant to expect a major jump for the second-year receiver. Higgins has been going in the drafts in the sixth to seventh round. Basically, this puts him as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3. If you get him as your third receiver, he will fit that role well.
