Week 6 at Indianapolis
Tee Higgins tied for the most targets last Sunday with Joe Mixon, and that is a telling sign about his relationship with QB Joe Burrow considering there are two established veteran receivers on this roster. The results weren't bad with four receptions for 62 yards against a very stout defense.
Higgins will face the Colts this Sunday who are fifth in aFPA to wide receivers. He was actually on the field twice as much as veteran A.J. Green and more than de facto No. 1 receiver Tyler Boyd. Not sure if that trend will keep going, but it is again a sign the Bengals have confidence in the rookie from Clemson.
Higgins actually merits some consideration to start Week 6. It would be a low-end WR3 or flex, but there is value there. The matchup does scare us a little or we would be sold on a definite start for him.
