Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was a fantasy football bust through his first six games of the 2023 NFL season. However, he delivered a big showing in Week 9, catching eight of his nine targets for 110 yards on Sunday Night Football. Unfortunately, he picked up an injury in practice a few days later, putting him out for Week 10.
Fantasy managers are surely wondering about his availability in Week 11 and beyond, and we have his latest injury update.
When is Higgins coming back to action? What is his fantasy outlook when he returns?

Tee Higgins Injury Update for Fantasy Football
On a short week with a Thursday night game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 11, it's considered unlikely that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) will be able to return from a hamstring injury he suffered in practice last week, according to a source.
Higgins had to sit out the Week 10 upset loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday and is likely going to miss a second straight game. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be active on Thursday night. Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin will likely have expanded roles once again.
On the plus side, the Bengals will have 10 days between games after the bout with the Ravens, so hopefully, he can return by Week 12.
Tee Higgins Fantasy Football Outlook
Although Higgins is averaging just 8.3 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats, a lot of his struggles came during the sketch of games when Joe Burrow looked like a shell of his former self due to a calf injury. Now, Burrow is healthy and has thrown for at least two touchdowns in each of his last five games. He has also posted 300-plus passing yards in three of his last five games.
With the Bengals' offense back on track, it's tough to bench Higgins in most matchups unless you have a loaded wide receiver room. The 24-year-old still has WR1 upside, but his floor seems to be as low as it has been since his rookie campaign.
